The main aim of the study was to prepare the edible films based on carrageenan/chitosan and incorporate them into the following matrices: the natural extracts of Clitoria ternatea, Brassica oleracea, and Ipomea batatas. The films were characterized by TPC (total polyphenols content), antioxidant activity, and textural properties. Experimentally produced films were added in the packaging of freshly cut apple pieces, and the apple pieces were dipped into the films produced from carrageenan and chitosan. The appearance of the samples was monitored, as were antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content. The intelligent properties of films were evaluated too. The polymer type used for the preparation had the highest impact on the prepared films, and CHLCZ (red cabbage extract—Brassica oleracea) featured the best antioxidant activity. The intelligent properties were slightly confirmed in samples with the addition of red cabbage. The main finding was that the coating of fresh-cut apples emphasized the possibility to use a carrageenan matrix with the addition of extracts. The samples immersed in this coating type showed higher antioxidant activity as well as a superior color when compared to that of chitosan coated apple samples.

This paper set out to comparatively study five species: white cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata alba Alef.), red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. rubra Alef.), Kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. Acephala), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. cymosa) in order to identify those with high enzymatic and antioxidant activities. The enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and soluble peroxidase (POX) as well as the antioxidant activity against 2.2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical cation were determined. Total superoxide dismutase activity was measured spectrophotometrically based on inhibition in the photochemical reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium. Total soluble peroxidase was assayed by measuring the increase in A436 due to the guaiacol oxidation and the catalase activity was assayed through the colorimetric method. The capacity of extracts to scavenge the ABTS radical cation was assessed colorimetric using Trolox as a standard. The obtained results show that studied enzymatic activities and the antioxidant activity against ABTS vary depending on the analyzed species. So, among the studied Brassicaceae species, it emphasize red cabbage with the highest enzymatic activity (CAT 22.54 mM H2O2/min/g and POX 187.2 mM ΔA/1min/1g f.w.) and kale with highest antioxidant activity, of 767 μmol TE/100g f.w. The results of this study recommendintroducing the studied varieties in diet due to the rich antioxidant properties.

Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa kerupuk kubis merah memiliki potensi sebagai sumber antioksidan. Antioxidant content  in Red Cabbage  (Brassica oleracea L.) and Application In The Making of Crackers Red Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) is one of the agricultural products containing anthocyanin content that has potential as antioxidant. The purpose of  this study was to explore the potential of red cabbage as a natural antioxidant in red cabbage crackers. The stages of this research are the manufacture of red cabbage crackers with various formulations of tapioca flour and red cabbage, organoleptic test and the determination of antioxidant activity and anthocyanin levels. The results showed that antioxidant activity of red cabbage and red cabbage cracker amounted to. The most preferred organoleptic test of panelist is T2K1 treatment which is 150 g tapioca and 50 g of red cabbage which has water content 15,49%, ash content 1,18%, protein content 1,48%, fat content 16,55%, antocyanin 1.31% and antioxidant activity of 23.93%. Thus it can be concluded that red cabbage crackers have the potential as a source of antioxidants.

The composition and properties of edible coatings (ECs) will significantly influence their effects of food preservation. For the first time, whey protein isolates nanofibers (WPNFs), as a novel material with high hydrophobicity and antioxidant activity, combined with carvacrol (CA) as an antimicrobial agent and glycerol (Gly) as a plasticizer, was used to prepare edible coating (WPNFs-CA/Gly) for preserving fresh-cut Cheddar cheese. The prepared WPNFs and ECs emulsions have been investigated with transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of ECs emulsions, antimicrobial activity of edible films, and the physical properties of edible films, such as micromorphology, thickness, transparency, and moisture content, have also been evaluated. The weight losses and physical characteristics of both coated and uncoated fresh-cut Cheddar cheese samples have been assessed during storage. The DPPH free radical scavenging rate of WPNFs-CA/Gly emulsion was up to 67.89% and the reducing power was 0.821, which was higher than that of WPI-CA/Gly emulsions. The antimicrobial activity of WPNFs-CA/Gly films was nearly 2.0-fold higher than that of WPNFs/Gly films for the presence of CA. The WPNFs-CA/Gly films had smooth and continuous surfaces, and the transparency reached 49.7% and the moisture content was 26.0%, which was better than that of WPI-CA/Gly films. Furthermore, Cheddar cheese with WPNFs-CA/Gly coatings has shown lower weight losses (15.23%) and better textural properties than those uncoated samples. This in-depth study has provided a valuable and noteworthy approach about the novel edible coating material.

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.
