Background: Cajá-manga is an exotic fruit, source of compounds that have antioxidant activity, such as pro-vitamin A and carotenoids. Objective: Thus, the objective of the present study was to develop an efficient microencapsulation process for cajá-manga pulp by different types of encapsulating agents (maltodextrin and xanthan gum), ratio pulp/carrier agents (1:2 or 1:5), and the drying technology (lyophilization and spray dryer). Methods: Physicochemical analysis, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, antioxidant activity and microcapsule morphology were performed. Results: The cajá-manga and its microcapsulas can be considered source of phenolic compounds, carotenoides and antioxidants. The morphology showed differences between the both drying methods, with encapsulation efficiency greater than 70% in 1:2 (w/w) ratio, and efficiencies around 40% with 1:5 (w/w) pulp and carrier agent. Conclusion: The use of maltodextrin and xanthan gum showed to be viable in the spray dryer and lyophilization drying processes.

The Stability

Beet is a vegetable rich in antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds, besides being used as a natural dye, which has as a disadvantage the instability in relation to several factors, such as temperature, pH, oxygen and light. Therefore, this work aimed to microencapsulate the beet dye, evaluate the stability of powders and their application in yogurt. Beet extract was encapsulated in a combination of maltodextrin and xanthan gum, with subsequent drying in spray dryer or lyophilizer. In the powders obtained, color parameters, betanin content, phenolic compounds content, yield, microcapsule morphology and powder storage stability were evaluated for 40 days, with light, temperature and oxygen variation. The samples with the best results were applied in yogurt and the products were evaluated sensorially. The performance of powders dried by spray dryer was approximately 43% lower than lyophilized, with no variation in moisture content and soluble solids. Morphologically the samples dried by spray dryer were different from those dried by lyophilization. The content of phenolic compounds in the powders showed an increase after 40 days of storage in all samples, while the content of betanin showed a considerable drop in the first 7 days, followed by stability up to 40 days. With respect to color the parameter a*, was stable in storage, and the samples dried by spray dryer showed a higher value than the samples dried by lyophilization. The samples lyophilized with maltodextrin and with xanthan gum were added to the yoghurt, both in concentrations 0.5 and 1%. There was no significant difference between the yogurt samples prepared with the powders both in the sensory analysis and in the physical-chemical analysis, except for the ashes. Therefore, all the microcapsules evaluated presented good encapsulation efficiency and good stability during the 40 days evaluated.

Flowers, leaves and fruits of hawthorn plant are traditionally used for treating diseases like hypertension and atherosclerosis. The medicinal effects of the plant are generally attributed to its phenolic compounds. However, the fruits are perishable materials because of their high content of water, and generally dried and stored to be used outside its season. The main aim of this research was to investigate the effect of different drying methods on phenolic compounds of the hawthorn fruit. Fruits were collected from the wild growing trees in Turkey. De-seeded fruits were dried in freeze-, oven- (60 oC) and microwave pretreated oven drying (microwave application for 5 min at 360 W before drying at 60 oC) methods and analyzed for antioxidant activity, phenolic compounds, total phenolic content and color parameters. Total phenolic content of fresh hawthorn fruits was found as 13.36 mg g-1 DW. Oven- and microwave pretreated oven drying methods had a reductive effect on total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of fruits when compared to freeze drying method. (-)-Epicatechin (994.10 mg kg-1 DW), rutin (765.30 mg kg-1 DW), and procyanidin B2 (553.80 mg kg-1 DW) were the main phenolics of the fruit. Lowest values of these three compounds were observed in oven-dried fruits. Microwave pretreatment oven drying method resulted in browner product. Although the highest phenolic concentration and antioxidant activity were occurred in freeze-dried sample, microwave pretreatment before oven drying could be applied to reduce the time and cost of drying in terms of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity.

A pineapple peel hydroalcoholic extract rich in phenolic compounds, was stabilized by microencapsulation using spray drying technology, with maltodextrin, inulin, and arabic gum as wall materials. The influence of the type of wall material and drying temperature (150 and 190 °C) on the particles properties was studied. The particles presented a spherical shape with a diameter ranging from approximately 1.3 to 18.2 µm, the exception being the ones with inulin that showed a large degree of agglomeration. All powders produced presented an intermediate cohesiveness and a fair to good flowability according to Carr index and Hausner ratio, which envisages suitable handling properties at an industrial scale. The microencapsulation processes using maltodextrin and arabic gum at 150 °C were the ones that showed higher maintenance of the antioxidant activity of compounds present in the extract before encapsulation during spray drying. In addition, the microparticles obtained were quite efficient in stabilizing the encapsulated phenolic compounds, as their antioxidant activity did not change significantly during six months of storage at 5 °C.

The vast majority of fruits and unprocessed vegetables, have a very short shelf life, mainly due to its high-water activity. Drying technology is an effective process, used to increase the shelf life of these products. It also can provide an effective method of consumption of fruits in food products. In this study, the influence of the maturation stage and drying method on the phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities of Japanese grape pseudo-fruits (Hovenia dulcis T.) were studied. The centesimal composition, reducing sugars and nonreducing sugars, ratio, color, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of the unprocessed pseudo-fruits, at different maturation stages (immature, in maturation and mature), were analyzed. Two drying methods were employed in the pseudo-fruits (oven with air circulation and freeze drying) obtaining flour from which moisture content, instrumental color, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were determined. The unprocessed pseudo-fruits of Japanese grape showed significant content of phenolic compounds at the early stages of maturation and high antioxidant capacity when mature (at the final stages of maturation). In addition, they showed a high content of fibers and sugars, and can be used as raw material in the food industry. After dehydration, the freeze-drying process provided a more stable color, because this process minimizes the enzymatic browning reactions, and preserved a greater number of phenolic compounds. The antioxidant activity, however, showed to be associated with the drying method, being higher in the flour obtained from lyophilized immature pseudo-fruits.

In order to provide a general picture of phytochemical characteristics of nectar honey, honeydew, and mixed honeys, an overall comparison of physicochemical parameters, and phenolic profile as well as antioxidant activity of various types of honey samples has been made. Among all samples analysed, honeydew samples possess the best quality parameters in the mean content of hydroxymethylfurfural, proline, and diastase activity. Moreover, the highest content of phenolic compounds as potential radical scavengers was found in honeydews, then in mixed and multifloral nectar honeys, while samples of monofloral honeys revealed the lowest, but still considerable amounts of natural antioxidants. The overall results of this study indicate that the quality parameters as well as the distribution of phenolic acids and flavonoids are affected by the type of honey.

Mexican spices are used in the supplementation of the human diet and as medicinal herbs for the particularly high amounts of compounds capable of deactivating free radicals. In addition, these spices can have beneficial effects on chronic, no-transmissible diseases such as type II diabetes and hypertension arterial. The objective of this study is to determine the content of phenolic compounds on the antioxidant activity and inhibitory enzymes of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and angiotensin-converting enzyme in melissa, peppermint, thyme and mint, which are subjected to microwave drying, conventional and freeze-drying to be used as alternative treatments. Spices were evaluated to determine total phenols, flavonoids, tannins, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), (2,2′-azino-bis- (3-ethyl benzothiazolin-6-ammonium sulphonate) (ABTS) and Ferric Reducing/Antioxidant Power (FRAP), enzymatic activity. The investigation showed that conventional drying caused a decrease in antioxidant properties and inhibitory activity, in some species, while remained preserved in microwave drying and freeze-drying. The activity of polyphenol oxides and peroxidase decreases with high temperatures and these increase with the use of cold temperatures. This study aims to determine the extent of optimal drying required to preserve phenolic compounds, and the positive effect on antioxidant activity and enzymatic activity in in vitro models, which will produce benefits for the infusion processing industry and the pharmaceutical industry.
