AbstractThe sulphated polysaccharides from brown algae have been attracting extensive interest due to their numerous biological activities. The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and free-radical scavenging capacity of crude sulphated polysaccharides (CSP) from Turbinaria ornata, a marine brown algae. The CSP was extracted from T. ornata using hot water with the yield of 14.31% (w/w). The chemical composition analysis of CSP showed 71.07 ± 4.61 % of total sugar, 1.81 ± 0.035 % total protein, 27 ± 1.49 % sulphate, and 6.16 ± 0.36 % total phenol. The presence of sulphated polysaccharides in the CSP was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The in vitro antioxidant activity of CSP was evaluated using total antioxidant power assay and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP). The results revealed that the total antioxidant capacity of CSP was 22.205 ± 0.875 (equivalent mg of ascorbic acid/g of CSP) and 0.556 ± 0.03 (mM of FeSO4/mg of CSP) FRAP value, respectively. The free-radical scavenging ability of CSP was demonstrated using 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and superoxide radical. The capacity of the CSP to scavenge 50% of free radicals was found to be 88.71 ± 1.01, 440.07 ± 4.43 and 352 ± 4.58 μg/mL for ABTS, DPPH and superoxide radical, respectively. These results showed that the CSP from T. ornata possess antioxidant and free-radical scavenging capacity.

Scavenging Capacity

Plant-based extracts such as coffee (coffea) and Mauby (Colubrina Arborescens) were tested for chemopreventative potential by measuring their antioxidant activity (i.e., reducing power and free radical scavenging capacity) conventionally using chemical assays 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP). Alternately, extracts were also analyzed for their chemopreventative potential via a novel method (Global Antioxidant Response [GAR]), where they were subjected to simulated digestion before their antioxidant activity was determined via conventional methods previously mentioned. Next, the antioxidant capacities of the extracts, conventional versus the novel (GAR) method were compared. Overall, the analysis indicated that the reducing power (FRAP) and free radical scavenging capacity (DPPH) of coffee and Mauby were reduced (~16%) after undergoing simulated digestion. It was also observed that while the antioxidants in Mauby scavenged radicals at a significantly higher capacity than those in coffee (95.7% ± 0.67 and 90% ± 2.1 before digestion, and 77.7% ± 2.2 and 74.6% ± 2.3 after digestion, respectively), antioxidants in coffee exhibited higher reducing power compared to those in Mauby. Specifically, after undergoing simulated digestion, 1.12 mM FeSO4/mL ± 0.05 to 0.68 mM FeSO4/mL ± 0.07 ions were reduced before digestion, and 0.73 mM FeSO4/mL ± 0.09 to 0.48 mM FeSO4/mL ± 0.04 ions were reduced after digestion for coffee and Mauby, respectively. These findings suggest that while the antioxidants in coffee may have been more powerful in their ability to reduce ions, the antioxidants in Mauby may have been more effective in scavenging and neutralizing radicals.

The present study investigated the effect of 1-MCP on bioavailability of Lingwu long jujube stored at 0 °C for 60 days. At the end of the storage, compared with the control samples, Lingwu long jujube treated with 1-MCP exhibited higher Vc bioaccessibility, total phenolic content and free radical scavenging capacity, which demonstrated that 1-MCP treatment could provide a better effect on maintaining the bioavailability of Lingwu long jujube.

Terminalia Ferdinandiana

Terminalia ferdinandiana (Kakadu plum), belonging to the family Combretaceae, is endemic to Australia and has a long history of traditional medicinal applications and food cuisine by the Australian Indigenous people. This study investigated the effects of maturity stages on the morphology, physicochemical parameters (total soluble solids (TSS), total acid content (TAC), and pH), soluble sugar profile and antioxidant capacity of Kakadu plum (KP) fruits that were wild harvested from different trees and classified into four different maturity stages (immature to mature). TSS and TAC were determined by standard assays/procedures, main sugars by UHPLC–MS/MS and antioxidant capacity (total phenolic content (TPC) and DPPH free radical scavenging capacity) by spectrophotometry. The results showed that soluble sugars (glucose, sucrose and fructose) ranging from 1.3 to 17.7% dry weight (DW), TSS (17.0–52.7% DW) and TAC (1.3–6.7% DW) increased with maturity. However, antioxidant capacity (TPC in the range of 7.4–21.9% DW and DPPH free radical scavenging capacity from 22 to 76% inhibition at the extract concentration of 20 g·L−1) did not follow the same trend as the one observed for soluble sugars, TSS and TAC. These differences were associated with the tree-to-tree variability as a consequence of the wild harvest condition. This study provides important information to both the KP industry and Indigenous enterprises regarding the selection of the appropriate maturity stage to harvest KP fruit to target for different markets (e.g., low-sugar vs. high-sugar fruit).

The total phenolic compounds content, free radical-scavenging capacity and capsaicinoid content in populations of wild Piquin chili (C. annuum) were studied. Aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts from nine ecotypes were evaluated. High contents of phenolic compounds and free radical-scavenging capacities were observed for both extracts; however, the values that were found for the hydroalcoholic phase were substantially higher. LC-MS analysis allowed for the detection of 32 compounds, where apigenin-8-C-glucoside followed by vanillic acid 1-O-β-o-glucopyranosylester (Isomer I or II) and 7-ethoxy-4-methylcoumarin were the most widely distributed; they were found in more than 89% of the ecotypes. The diversity of identified phenolic compounds was different among ecotypes, allowing them to be distinguished by chemical diversity, free radical-scavenging capacities and heat Scoville units. The total capsaicinoid content was higher in Population I (23.5 mg/g DW) than in Populations II and III, which had contents of 15.3 and 10.7 mg/g DW, respectively. This variability could lead to phytochemical exploitation and the conservation of the natural populations of wild chili.

This study examined the influence of microbial contamination on the antioxidant composition and free radical scavenging effects of fresh and decaying spices: Lycopersicon esculentum, Capsicum frutescens S, Capsicum frutescens T and Capsicum annum used by food vendors. Microbial load was enumerated with potato dextrose agar (PDA) using the pour plate technique, phytochemical components were determined using Folio-Ciocalteu, Aluminium chloride, acetone-hexane methods for phenolic, flavonoids and β-carotene & lycopene respectively while free radical scavenging capacity was determined using DPPH method. Decaying L. esculentum had highest microbial population of 7.14 X 105 cfu/g and fresh C. annum had the lowest microbial population of 0.72 X 101cfu/g. Microbial population in decaying spices were generally significantly higher than fresh spices. Aspergillus spp were found in all decaying spices and in fresh C. frutescens T. Microsporum spp were found in all fresh spices except in C. frutescens T and in decaying spices except in C. annum. There were significant decreases (p <0.05) in phenolic, flavonoid, β-carotene and free radical scavenging capacity contents of all decaying spices compared to fresh spices except for phenolic content in C. annum while significant decrease (p < 0.05) in lycopene content was obtained for only decaying L. esculentum compared to fresh one. Reduction in antioxidant activity and phytochemical contents could not be unconnected with the high microbial population in decaying spices because antioxidant activity and phytochemical contents significantly correlate with antibacterial activity. Thus, consumption of decaying spices as shown by our study could pose a serious health challenges due to the presence of high number of microbes detected and loss of healthprotecting ability of the spices.
