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.

Sweet Potato Leaves

Sweet potato leaves contain phenolic and flavonoids compounds which give them a potential antioxidant capacity. However, these antioxidant activities can be lost during cooking due to high temperature. In the aim to enhance their antioxidant activities, sweet potato leaves were steamed with antioxidant spices. The spices were used alone or mixed: nutmeg, Guinea pepper, cloves, nutmeg-Guinea pepper, nutmeg-cloves, Guinea pepper-cloves and nutmeg-Guinea pepper-cloves. The phytochemical analysis was carried-out on total phenolic compounds and flavonoids, while the antioxidant activities were determined via free radical-scavenging and inhibition power of lipid peroxidation. The results showed that cloves total phenolic content (513.33 mg Gallic Acid Equivalent (GAE)/g dry matter (DM)) increased to 1786.67 mg GAE/g DM when mixed with Guinea pepper. Flavonoids content was high in Guinea pepper-cloves (57.17 mg Quercetin Equivalent (QE)/g DM). In sweet potato steamed leaves, total phenolic compounds content is improved by incorporating cloves (625.83 mg GAE/g DM), while flavonoids content is slightly improved by Guinea pepper (125.00 mg QE/g DM). Among spices, cloves, Guinea pepper-cloves and nutmeg IC50 values (0.45, 0.83 and 1.50 &mu;g/ml respectively) did not differ significantly to that of vitamin C (1.67 &mu;g/ml), indicating that they had a good antiradical activity. The capacity of spices and steamed sweet potato leaves with and without spices to inhibit lipid peroxidation was higher than that of Gallic acid which is the standard reference. Spices, particularly cloves and Guinea pepper can improve antioxidant activities during sweet potato leaves steaming.

The aim of the present research was to determine the effect of boiling on nutritional composition, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, physicochemical and morphological characteristics of two edible plants Malva parviflora (mallow leaf) and Myrtillocactus geometrizans (garambullo flower). The plants had an important nutritional composition as carbohydrates (48-70 %), dietary fiber (36-42 %) and protein (13 %), as well as total phenolic compounds (468-750 mg GAE/100 g db) with a high antioxidant capacity. However, boiling originated the decrease of soluble compounds, carbohydrates, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity and physicochemical properties. Plants changed to dark colors and physicochemical properties were affected, except to water retention capacity, oil retention capacity and viscosity, which had the same values in mallow leaves (raw and boiled), but increased water retention capacity in garambullo flowers, it may be by changes in the morphology observed. Therefore, is to suggest the raw consumption or with minimal cooking of these plants to avoid changes caused by thermal treatment.

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.

Abstract Pereskia aculeata Miller is a native cactaceae found from the Northeast to the South of Brazil. This plant is recognized by the high nutritional value of their leaves, which are the most used in cooking and folk medicine. However, studies on the chemical characteristics and antioxidant capacity of the ora-pro-nobis fruits are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the best harvest point of the ora-pro-nobis fruits to optimize the content of bioactive compounds and their antioxidant capacity. The fruits were manually harvested, defined by their peel colors in three maturity stages: unripe (green), intermediate (yellowish green), and ripe (yellow) stages. The following attributes were evaluated: soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio, pH, and content of bioactive compounds, such as total chlorophylls, carotenoids, yellow flavonoids, total phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity. There was a decrease in the content of chlorophyll followed by an increase in the of total carotenoids and yellow flavonoids, due to the maturity stage. For the total phenolic compounds, it was not observed significant difference between the stages. The antioxidant capacity was quantified by the ORAC method in lyophilized pulp in the unripe (1.95 mmol 100 g-1 trolox) and ripe (3.85 mmol 100 g-1 trolox) stages. The lowest contents were observed in the intermediate (0.80 mmol 100 g-1 trolox in lyophilized pulp) stage. The maturity stage significantly influenced the bioactive compounds of ora-pro-nobis, which presented higher values of total carotenoids, yellow flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity in ripe fruits.

The viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) in jabuticaba juices and its survival in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), simulated in vitro, was studied. Two juices were prepared: A - with non-blanched fruits, and B - with blanched fruits. LGG was then added and the juices maintained at 8 ºC for 28 days. The control treatment consisted of juices without the added probiotic. The following were determined in the juices: the viability and in vitro survival of LGG, fecal coliforms, Salmonella sp., pH, acidity, total soluble solids (TSS), color, antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, anthocyanins and ascorbic acid. The sensory acceptability was also determined using a 9-point hedonic scale. Blanching interfered (p < 0.05) with the viability of LGG, juice A showing the greatest viability as compared to juice B. After in vitro simulation, the probiotic bacterial count was < 1.0 log CFU mL-1, which demonstrates the low resistance of the strain to the simulated GIT conditions. The juices were conformed to the microbiological standards established by law. The pH, acidity and TSS were influenced by blanching (p < 0.05), with values of 5.03, 0.46% and 15.38 °Brix for juice A and 5.12, 0.66% and 16.05 °Brix for juice B, respectively. The addition of LGG did not influence these characteristics. Only the pH value was influenced by the storage time (p < 0.05), increasing throughout storage. Juice B showed lower luminosity (L*) and a greater value for a* as compared to juice A, indicating that the former became darker and redder due to the blanching process. Both juices showed positive values for the b* coordinate. The juice was found to be a good source of polyphenols. Neither the time nor the addition of LGG affected the antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds or anthocyanin contents. However, blanching contributed (p < 0.05) to an increase in the contents of these compounds in the juices. Values for antioxidant capacity of 186.20 and 2552.59 uM Trolox g-1, for total phenolic compounds of 275.06 and 1163.18 mg GAE 100 g-1-wwb, and for anthocyanins as cyanidin 3-glucoside of 12.71 and 90.99 mg 100 g-1 were found for juices A and B, respectively. The juices contained 72.87 mg 100 mL-1 of ascorbic acid. Scores of above 6.0 (liked slightly) were awarded on the hedonic scale for the attributes evaluated. The addition of probiotics in jabuticaba juices needs to be further studied to ensure the viability of the cultures during storage and their survival in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract Objectives Sweetpotato leaf (SPL) is a natural source of phenolic compounds with potential utility as an antioxidant. The study aimed to measure the impacts of the years on SPL total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity and to identify and quantify the individual phenolic compounds. Methods Sweetpotato leaves in 2018 (27 varieties) and 2019 (24 varieties) were grinded and lyophilized. Phenolic compounds were extracted with 70% ethanol from SPLs. Total phenolic content was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method and antioxidant potential was determined by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay. Five SPL samples with statistically highest antioxidant capacity were identified and quantified by HPLC. All statistical analyses were carried out by SAS software using ANOVA. Statistical significance was accepted at P &lt; 0.05. Results The average of total phenolic contents in 2018 SPL samples was 43 ± 13 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry weight (DW) SPL whereas in 2019, it was 53 ± 9 mg GAE/g dry weight SPL. Antioxidant capacity in 2018 was 110 ± 75 µmol Trolox equivalent (TE)/g dry weight SPL whereas in 2019, it was 132 ± 32 µmol TE/g dry weight SPL. SPL1 had the highest antioxidant potential, followed by SPL9, SPL3, SPL28, and SPL11 (P &lt; 0.05). The concentrations of major identified phenolics from the five SPL samples (#1, 9, 3, 28, and 11) in dry weight of SPL were: chlorogenic acid at 3.05 ± 0.35 mg/g, 5-monocaffeoylquinic acid (CQA) at 0.71 ± 0.06 mg chlorogenic acid equivalent (ChAE)/g, 4-CQA at 0.99 ± 0.07 mg ChAE/g, 3,4-diCQA at 1.22 ± 0.18 mg ChAE/g, 3,4,5-triCQA at 1.2 ± 0.18 mg ChAE/g, and 3,5-diCQA at 15.5 ± 4.05 mg ChAE/g. 3,5-diCQA, the predominant phenolic, was present in the highest amounts in SPL1. Conclusions The results showed that sweetpotato leaves collected in 2019 contained higher total phenolics and antioxidant capacity than the ones collected in 2018. Phenolic compounds have strong antioxidant activity in Arkansas-grown sweetpotato leaves. This study warrants further investigation of sweetpotato leaves to be utilized as an antioxidant.

Eight less-known juices are characterised and contents are monitored of selected substances and nutritional parameters. 100% juices were produced of Aloe Vera, Aronia, Blackcurrant, Black elder, Cranberry, Malpighia, Pomegranate and Seaberry by pressing, including the flesh. Total phenolic compounds (TPC) and ascorbic acid (AA) content were analysed as other parameters. The juices were measured on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) as the content of trolox, where the highest levels were found for Malpighia 63.2 mM, when the value was significantly different (P &lt; 0.05) compared with all the other juices, while Aloe Vera had lowest levels with 0.4 mM. The Aronia juice possessed the highest level of TPC (8297 mg of GAE/l). TAC levels very well corresponded with TPC levels while AA content actually did not correlate with TAC values. In addition to the objective analysis, the juices were subjected to a sensory evaluation. Blackcurrant presents an attractive product from the sensorial aspect as well as in terms of the nutritional value.
