ABSTRACT: Purple-fleshed sweet potatoes are rich in phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins, and also exhibit hypoglycemic properties. Anthocyanins are natural antioxidants with the capacity to inhibit or delay injuries caused by free radicals. Drying is one of the most commonly used vegetable preservation methods; although,it has parameters that affect the sensory and physicochemical properties of the final product. The present study assessed the impact of drying temperatures (40, 50, and 60 °C) on the purple-fleshed sweet potato. Cut, unpeeled potato slices of 4 cm in diameter and 3 mm in thickness were dried in an oven with hot air circulation. The effect of the different temperatures on the antioxidant capacity, phenolic compound content, and total and monomeric quantities of anthocyanins in purple sweet potato were measured, and a mathematical model describing the drying kinetics was determined. According to the results observed, the process at 40 °C better preserved the phenolic compounds; however, drying at 50 °C was more efficient for conserving the antioxidant capacity measured by the H + capture method performed by DDPH, and for the total and monomeric quantities of anthocyanins. The mathematical models that best described the kinetic curves were those of Henderson and Pabis, and Page.

This study investigated the influences of steam-cooking on (poly)phenolic compounds and colors in purple yam (Dioscorea alata L.) and purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) tubers cooked at the household level. Steam-cooking did not significantly change the contents of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity measured by ABTS radical scavenging assay in purple yam (P≥0.05), but lowered the antioxidant capacity measured by Crocin assay (P<0.05). The liquid chromatograph– mass spectrometer–Ion Trap–Time of Flight (LCMS-IT-TOF) indicated the degradation of high MW alatanin B to lower MW alatanins due to the loss of glucose units. Purple sweet potato, however, responded to steam-cooking differently from purple yam (P<0.05). Steam-cooking drastically increased total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, anthocyanins, antioxidant capacities, and retained the vivid reddish-purple color of cooked purple sweet potato (P<0.05). The stability of polyphenolic compounds in starchy tubers against steam-cooking at the household level was, in part, due to the different contents of indigenous phenolic compounds in the raw tubers.

In times of pandemic and when sustainability is in vogue, the use of byproducts, such as fiber-rich tomato byproducts, can be an asset. There are still no studies on the impact of extraction methodologies and the gastrointestinal tract action on bioactive properties. Thus, this study used a solid fraction obtained after the conventional method (SFCONV) and a solid fraction after the ohmic method (SFOH) to analyze the effect of the gastrointestinal tract on bioactive compounds (BC) and bioactivities. Results showed that the SFOH presents higher total fiber than SFCONV samples, 62.47 ± 1.24–59.06 ± 0.67 g/100 g DW, respectively. Both flours present high amounts of resistant protein, representing between 11 and 16% of insoluble dietary fiber. Furthermore, concerning the total and bound phenolic compounds, the related antioxidant activity measured by 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical cation decolorization assay presented significantly higher values for SFCONV than SFOH samples (p < 0.05). The main phenolic compounds identified in the two flours were gallic acid, rutin, and p-coumaric acid, and carotenoids were lycopene, phytofluene, and lutein, all known as health promoters. Despite the higher initial values of SFCONV polyphenols and carotenoids, these BCs’ OH flours were more bioaccessible and presented more antioxidant capacity than SFCONV flours, throughout the simulated gastrointestinal tract. These results confirm the potential of ohmic heating to modify the bioaccessibility of tomato BC, enhancing their concentrations and improving their antioxidant capacity.

Retnati, Andriani MAM, Fauza G. 2009. The influence of addition of various sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas) extract to total count of cells and antioxidant activity in yogurt. Biofarmasi 7: 68-76. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of addition of various sweet potatoes extract to the total count of cells and the antioxidant activity in yogurt. Yogurt was made from fresh milk, skim milk, white sweet potato, orange sweet potato, purple sweet potato, and pure culture of Streptococcus thermophilus 0040 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus 0041 in straight MRS agar. Fresh milk, skim milk powder (5%, b/v), and sweet potato extract (10%, v/v) was pasteurized at 90oC for 15 minutes, cooled to the temperature between 40-45oC, inoculated with 2.5% S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus with a proportion of 1.4:1, and then incubated at a temperature of 40oC for 15 hours. Yogurt without an addition of sweet potato extract was used as control. The parameters measured in this experiment were the total count of cells with TPC (Total Plate Count) method and the antioxidant activity with DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. Samples were taken at one hour interval to examine the total count of cells, while the antioxidant activity was collected at three hours interval. The result of each analysis was plotted into graphics which describing the relation of total bacteria and antioxidant activity with fermentation time. ANOVA was employed to analyze the data. If there was a significant difference, it should be followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level α=0.05. The result of this research showed that the addition of various sweet potatoes extracts increased the total count of cells and the antioxidant activity in yogurt. The total count of cells showed no significant different for each sample, it meant that the different colors in sweet potato did not influence the total count of cells. However, yogurt with orange and purple sweet potato extract addition had a significant difference on the antioxidant activity with control and yogurt with white sweet potato extract. In conclusion, the difference colors in sweet potato influenced in the antioxidant activity in yogurt significantly. Sweet potato is potential for milk substitute in yogurt production due to oligosaccharide content and antioxidant activity.
