Anthocyanins present in the red dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus) can be used as natural dyes. An extraction procedure can be used to acquire anthocyanins. The maceration method was used to isolate anthocyanin dyes in this analysis. The aim of this study was to see how the solvent ratio affected the total anthocyanin content in the skin of red dragon fruit. This research used laboratory experimental method using descriptive analysis. The solvent ratios used were (1:30, 1:40, 1:50 and 1:60) with a mixture of distilled water with 10% citric acid as the solvent. Parameters observed were total yield, pH, residual solvent content, spesific gravity and total anthocyanin content.  The best treatment was found to be red dragon fruit peel with a solvent ratio of 1:30, which produced the highest total anthocyanin content of 4.73 mg/L. This treatment resulted total yield 7.40%, residual solvent content 0.05%, spesific gravity 1.30, and pH 1.05, respectively.  It was proven that the more solvent added could linearly decrease the effectiveness of anthocyanin extraction of dragon fruit peel extracts.

The Stability

Dragon fruit is a popular fruit grown in Malaysia. It is well known for the rich nutrient contents, and it is commercially available worldwide. It is rich in anthocyanins and antioxidants. Dragon fruit is also an essential source of betacyanin, which serves as a red/purple pigment with antioxidative properties. The objective of the present work is to study the stability of natural colorant from dragon fruit peel. The crushed peel and water were taken in the ratio of 1:10 and was subjected to seven different types of extraction techniques such as microwave-assisted extraction, ohmic heating, ultrahigh-pressure homogenization, sonicator, supercritical fluid extraction, aqueous extraction, Soxhlet extraction. Out of the microwave-assisted extraction had the most Anthocyanin content, and it was used for further studies. The selected extract was filtered, and the stability of anthocyanin was examined at varying pH (2…10) and temperature (60…100⁰C). In addition to this, thermal stability (80…100 ⁰C for 150 min) was checked at a deferent time interval (80 to 100⁰C…150 min.). The microwave extract was used for the encapsulation process using maltodextrin, and soy protein isolate as carrier material with 1:4, 1:5 core to wall ratio by spray drying and freeze-drying techniques. The quality analysis, such as total anthocyanin content, encapsulation efficiency, color, water activity, bulk density, solubility, and moisture content, were analyzed of microencapsulated anthocyanin extract. This result showed that encapsulated dragon fruit peel (pitaya) powder could be used as a natural colorant in food applications.

Lactuca sativa cv. Outredgeous was grown under either fluorescent lamps or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to test the hypothesis that antioxidant potential could be regulated by light quality. Red leaf lettuce was grown at 300 μmol·m−2·s−1 of photosynthetically active radiation, 1200 μmol·mol−1 CO2, 23 °C, and an 18 h-light /6-h dark photoperiod in controlled-environment chambers. The LED treatments were selected to provide different amounts of red (640 nm), blue (440 nm), green (530 nm), and far-red (730 nm) light in the spectra. Total anthocyanin content and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity of the tissue were measured at harvest. The source of light had a dramatic effect on both plant growth and production of radioprotective compounds. LEDs resulted in 50% greater bioprotectant content per plant at the same light level over triphosphor fluorescent lamps. Blue LEDs (440 nm) appeared to regulate the metabolic pathways leading to increased concentration of bioprotective compounds in leaf tissue. LED lighting induced a number of effects on morphology that increased both accumulation of bioprotective compounds and total yield.

Abstract. The goals of this study were to determine and evaluate the bioaccessibility of total anthocyanin and procyanidin in apple (Amasya, Malus communis), red grape (Papazkarası, Vitis vinifera) and cinnamon (Cassia, Cinnamomum) using an in vitro static digestion system based on human gastrointestinal physiologically relevant conditions. Also, in vitro inhibitory effects of these foods on lipid (lipase) and carbohydrate digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) were performed with before and after digested samples using acarbose and methylumbelliferyl oleate (4MUO) as the positive control. While the highest total anthocyanin content was found in red grape (164 ± 2.51 mg/100 g), the highest procyanidin content was found in cinnamon (6432 ± 177.31 mg/100 g) (p < 0.05). The anthocyanin bioaccessibilities were found as 10.2 ± 1%, 8.23 ± 0.64%, and 8.73 ± 0.70% in apple, red grape, and cinnamon, respectively. The procyanidin bioaccessibilities of apple, red grape, and cinnamon were found as 17.57 ± 0.71%, 14.08 ± 0.74% and 18.75 ± 1.49%, respectively. The analyzed apple, red grape and cinnamon showed the inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 544 ± 21.94, 445 ± 15.67, 1592 ± 17.58 μg/mL, respectively), α-amylase (IC50 38.4 ± 7.26, 56.1 ± 3.60, 3.54 ± 0.86 μg/mL, respectively), and lipase (IC50 52.7 ± 2.05, 581 ± 54.14, 49.6 ± 2.72 μg/mL), respectively. According to our results apple, red grape and cinnamon have potential to inhibit of lipase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase digestive enzymes.

This work studied the effects of centrifugal block freeze crystallization (CBFC) on physicochemical parameters, total phenolic compound content (TPCC), antioxidant activity (AA), and process parameters applied to fresh murta and arrayan juices. In the last cycle, for fresh murta and arrayan juices, the total soluble solids (TSS) showed values close to 48 and 54 Brix, and TPCC exhibited values of approximately 20 and 66 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 grams dry matter (d.m.) for total polyphenol content, 13 and 25 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents/100 grams d.m. for total anthocyanin content, and 9 and 17 mg quercetin equivalents/100 grams d.m. for total flavonoid content, respectively. Moreover, the TPCC retention indicated values over 78% for murta juice, and 82% for arrayan juice. Similarly, the AA presented an increase over 2.1 times in relation to the correspondent initial AA value. Thus, the process parameters values were between 69% and 85% for efficiency, 70% and 88% for percentage of concentrate, and 0.72% and 0.88 (kg solutes/kg initial solutes) for solute yield. Therefore, this work provides insight about CBFC on valuable properties in fresh Patagonian berries juices, for future applications in health and industrial scale.

Anthocyanins are vital components of plant secondary metabolites, and are also the most important coloring substances in wine. Teinturier cultivars are rich in anthocyanins. However, the differences in anthocyanin accumulation and profiles between teinturier and non-teinturier cultivars have not been reported. In this study, Yan 73 and Dunkelfelder were selected as the experimental materials, and three non-teinturier cultivars were used for comparison. LC-MS and qRT-PCR were used to determine the individual anthocyanin contents and the relative gene expression. The results show that the total anthocyanin content of the teinturier cultivars was considerably higher than that in non-teinturier cultivars, and the levels of individual anthocyanins increased gradually during ripening. Lower ratios of modified anthocyanins were found in the teinturier cultivars, which was not only due to the high expression level of VvUFGT and VvGST4, but also due to the relatively low expression of VvOMT in these cultivars. Cluster analysis of gene expression and anthocyanin accumulation showed that VvUFGT is related to anthocyanin accumulation, and that AM1 is related to the synthesis and transport of methylated anthocyanins. Our results will be useful for further clarifying the pathways of anthocyanin synthesis, modification, and transport in teinturier cultivars.

The objective of this study was to apply a HPLC methodology for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the six anthocyanidins present in fruits and to analyze the anthocyanin and anthocyanidin content of blueberries cultivated in Southern Brazil. The samples used belong to highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) cultivars. Total anthocyanin content was determined by the pH differential method and an HPLC gradient elution system with C18 column and UV-Vis detection at 520 nm were used for separation and quantification of the anthocyanidins. Total anthocyanin content was of 128 ± 3 mg per 100 g of fresh pulp. Blueberry pulp presented 55 % of delphinidin, 8 % of cyanidin, 3 % of peonidin and 34 % of malvidin. Pelargonidin was not identified in the sample and petunidin was below the limits of quantification. The results were similar to those reported in studies using North American and European blueberries.

We obtained a white-peel eggplant (L6-5) by EMS mutation in our previous study, whose total anthocyanin content was significantly decreased as compared with that of wild-type (WT). To analyse the anthocyanin biosynthesis mechanism in eggplants, we analysed the eggplant peel by RNA-seq in this study. The transcript results revealed upregulation of 465 genes and downregulation of 525 genes in L6-5 as compared with the WT eggplant. A total of 11 anthocyanin biosynthesis structure genes were significantly downregulated in L6-5 as compared with that in WT. Meanwhile, on the basis of the RT-PCR results of four natural eggplant cultivars, the expression pattern of 11 anthocyanin biosynthesis structure genes was consistent with the anthocyanin content. Thus, we speculated the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway in eggplant peel. The transcript and RT-PCR results suggested positive regulation of MYB1, MYB108 and TTG8 and negative regulation of bHLH36 in anthocyanin biosynthesis. This study enhanced our cumulative knowledge about anthocyanin biosynthesis in eggplant peels.

The main objective of this research was to compare the retention of antioxidant activity and total anthocyanin content of Saskatoon berries dried by freeze drying, microwave-vacuum drying, thin layer hot air drying and vacuum drying. Antioxidant activity of berry samples was determined by DPPH radical scavenging and ABTS radical scavenging, and the pH differential method was used to determine total anthocyanin content of the berry samples. The results showed that the freeze dried Saskatoon berries exhibited the highest retention of anthocyanin and antioxidant activity among the dried samples, followed by microwave-vacuum dried berries, thin layer hot air dried berries and vacuum dried berries. There were significant differences between the berry samples at P<0.05.  DPPH radical scavenging and ABTS radical scavenging were correlated linearly with an R2 value of 0.99 at P<0.05 showing their effectiveness for the determination of the antioxidant activity of the Saskatoon berries. However, the DPPH radical scavenging assay was more effective than the ABTS radical scavenging assay. The results also showed that antioxidant activity of the berries was highly correlated with the total anthocyanin content of the fruit. The reduction of anthocyanin in dried berry samples was linearly correlated with the reduction of DPPH radical scavenging with an R2 value of 0.97 at P<0.05 and, also, linearly correlated with the reduction of ABTS radical scavenging with an R2 value of 0.88 at P<0.05.
