Pigmented rice contains high value of anthocyanin and antioxidant activity. However, the different process for black rice might affect the concentration of these phytochemicals. Therefore, the present study focused on the effect of soaking and cooking on the total anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity of pigmented black rice. The raw black rice was subjected to two treatments. First, black rice was soaked for 3 hours. Second, black rice was soaked and cooked for 15, 25 and 35 minutes. The study revealed that the second treatment (soaking and cooking) caused a significant (p<0.05) decreased in antioxidant activities and total anthocyanin content as compared to soaking. Highest losses in total anthocyanin and antioxidant activity in cooked black rice were as follows: 35 minutes > 25 min >15 min cooking. β- Carotene degradation rate was also highest in 35 minutes cooked black rice.

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.

Currently, there have been lots of interests in phytochemicals as bioactive components. The roles of fruit, vegetables, and red pigments in preventing diseases have been partly accredited to the antioxidant properties of their constituent polyphenols, flavonoid, anthocyanins, and etc. Biochemistry parameters including the relative levels of antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, total flavonoid, total anthocyanin, soluble and insoluble sugar content of Ribes khorasanicum, have been calculated in this project. The total anthocyanin content of the investigated Ribes khorasanicum measured to be 62.9 mg/g in dry weight, while displaying high levels when compared to other components, which indicates that the anthocyanin content was the predominant antioxidant components in the investigated plant. This particular plant has the potential to serve as the important source of antioxidant that can be utilized in different biological and medical applications.

Commercial blueberry production has been a viable industry throughout the world for 95 years; because of blueberry is a good source of antioxidant. Blueberries are especially rich in anthocyanin, a flavonoid with potent antioxidant capacity. The aim of this study was to compare the phenolic quantities, antioxidant activities, anthocyanin, sugar and phenolic compounds of blueberries produced in Turkey with those of similar blueberry varieties produced around the world. As a result of the conducted analysis, the total phenolic content (TPC) amount found in the berries was 77.26-215.12 mg GAE/100 g, the total flavonoid content (TFC) was 30.44-91.69 mg QE/100 g and the total anthocyanin content (TAC) was 43.03-295.06 mg c3-GE/100 g. Examining the antioxidant activities of the berries, DPPH between 1.10-5.65 mg/ml, FRAP between 454.93-36832.96 µmol troloks/100 g, β-Carotene between 40.66-86.48%. It was determined that the natural berries contained much more phenolic compounds and higher antioxidant activity than that of the cultivars The result of HPLC analysis, chlorogenic acid is determined to be the dominant compound in all berries. Furthermore, fructose and glucose are found in all fruits in different quantities while sucrose is found in certain varieties of berries as well. At the end of the performed study the data indicate that wild and cultivars of blueberries are rich sources of antioxidants for local as well international industries importing this fruit for food processing and enormous products.

Anthocyanins are natural colorants which have gained a growing interest due to their extensive range of colors and beneficial health effects. The red and blue shades of 15 flowers were extracted with 1 % acidic methanol and these extracts were then screened for Total Anthocyanin content (TAC) using the pH method. In this paper the overall anthocyanin content of red and blue flowers was determined at room temperature (25°C). TAC accounts for the antioxidant activity of red and blue flowers. A quantitative relationship between acid-base and redox chemistry was also drawn.

Restructuration is one of the ways for processing fresh fruit without heating, so the nutritional value of fruit can be maintained. This method has been applied to several types of tropical fruits but has never been applied to java plum fruit, while it has high antioxidant activity but has a short shelf life. The aim of this research was to produce the best formulation to make restructured java plum fruit. Fresh java plum fruit puree was mixed with several concentrations of calcium alginate (1 %, 2 %, 3 %, and 4 %) and CaCl2 (0.75 %; 1 %). Restructured fruit products were evaluated for total anthocyanin content, antioxidant activity, texture, pH, and sensory properties. The result of this research showed that 1 % alginate and 1 % CaCl2 gave restructured java plum fruit with the highest anthocyanin content 171.61 mg/100g (DW) and highest antioxidant activity 75.79 %. The overall organoleptic test with 20 panelists showed that restructured fruit with alginate 1 % and CaCl2 1 % or 0.75 % resulted the highest score 3.75. ABSTRAKRestrukturisasi merupakan salah satu cara pengolahan buah segar tanpa pemanasan sehingga nilai gizi buah dapat dipertahankan. Metode ini sudah diteliti pada beberapa jenis buah tropis tetapi belum pernah dilakukan terhadap buah duwet, padahal buah duwet memiliki aktivitas antioksidan tinggi tetapi memiliki daya simpan rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan formulasi terbaik pada pembuatan restrukturisasi buah duwet. Bubur buah duwet segar dicampur dengan berbagai konsentrasi alginat (1 %, 2 %, 3 %, dan 4 %) dan CaCl2 (0,75 %; 1 %). Produk buah hasil restrukturisasi diukur kandungan antosianin total, aktivitas antioksidan, tekstur, pH, dan sifat-sifat sensorisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alginat 1% dan CaCl2 1% memiliki kandungan antosianin tertinggi yaitu 171,61 mg/100g (BK) dan aktivitas antioksidan tertinggi yaitu 75,79 %. Uji organoleptik dengan 20 panelis menunjukkan bahwa produk restrukturisasi buah duwet yang paling disukai panelis diperoleh dari perlakuan alginat 1 % dan CaCl2 1 % atau 0,75 % dengan skor 3,75.Kata kunci: Antosianin; antioksidan; restrukturisasi; Syzygium cumini

The present study investigated the fruits of aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) across different stages of maturity and analyzed their physicochemical properties, antioxidant compositions, and activities. The selected aronia cultivars (‘Viking’, ‘McKenzie’, and ‘Kingstar K1’ were categorized based on maturity into the immature stage (red tip), intermediary stage (red), and mature stage (dark purple). The key sugar components of aronia fruits were fructose, glucose, and sorbitol, while the main organic acid was found to be malic acid. The antioxidant content and activity of all three aronia cultivars showed significantly higher values for the red tip stage than the red or dark purple stages. However, the total anthocyanin content of aronia was the highest at the dark purple stage in three cultivars. The main polyphenols in aronia fruits were found to be catechol and chlorogenic acid, with a decreasing tendency as maturation progressed. As a result, the red tip stage of aronia fruits contains comparatively more abundant flavonoids, phenolic compounds and polyphenols than the dark purple stage, with higher antioxidant activity.
