“…It has been reported that aceton-water mixture gives better extraction of procyanidins from grape seeds (Ahmad et al, 2008). Researchers have used methanol for qualitative extraction of catechine, epicatechin and epigallocatechin from grape seeds (Luzia and Jorge, 2011). The present study confirms 85.61% antioxidant activity of grape seeds extract when 50% ethanol is used as solvent.…”

Aiming at the exploration of herbal use by society, crude extracts of the seeds of some commonly used medicinal plants (Vitis vinifera, Tamarindus indica and Glycin max) were screened for their free radical scavenging properties using ascorbic acid as standard antioxidant. Free radical scavenging activity was evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical. The overall antioxidant activity of grape seeds (Vitis vinifera) was the strongest, followed in descending order by soybean (Glycin max) and tamarind (Tamarindus indica). The seeds extract of Vitis vinifera, Glycin max and Tamarindus indica showed 85.61%, 83.45% and 79.26%, DPPH scavenging activity respectively.

“…Recent interest in these substances has been stimulated by the potential health benefits arising from the antioxidant activity of these phenolic compounds (Luzia and Jorge, 2011). Genistein, the major component of soybean isoflavones, has been demonstrated to inhibit ultraviolet -B (UVB)-induced skin tumorigenesis in hairless mice.…”

“…Oxidation of fats and proteins from lipoproteins and cell membranes decreases fat transport causing cell damage and leading to heart disorders (APPOLINÁRIO et al, 2011). LDL transports cholesterol from the liver to peripheral arterial smooth muscle cells, and high LDL levels can cause cholesterol deposition within the arteries of the heart, a risk factor for the development of heart disease (MOREIRA et al, 2010;LUZIA;JORGE, 2011).…”

“…The polyphenol content in the byproducts from tamarind pulp and seed showed the highest values. On a previous study carried out by Luzia & Jorge (2011) it is reported a high polyphenol content in fresh tamarind seed extract, registered as 4930 mg EAG.100 g -1 . The present study distinguish the potential of these byproducts as sources of phenolic compounds.…”

Quality and antioxidant potential of byproducts from refining of fruit pulp

The potential use of byproducts from fruit processing has been evaluated in order to propose new uses as well as reducing costs and environmental impact. Most of the studies are focused on byproducts from primary transformation. However, byproducts from secondary transformation can reserve similar reuse opportunities. The aim of this study was to characterize chemical composition and antioxidant capacity that remained on byproducts from fruit processing at the pulp refinement stage. The byproducts from pulp refining were evaluated in cashew, cocoa, cupuassu, genipap, papaya, passion fruit seed, plum, soursop (pulp and seeds), strawberry, tamarind (pulp and seeds), umbu and yellow mombin fruits. Water activity, acidity, pH, soluble solids, sugars, starch, pectins, ascorbic acid, carotenoids and polyphenols, and the antioxidant activity were analyzed. The byproducts from the refinement of soursop related to the fibrous pulp showed the highest soluble solids and pectic compounds content, while the seeds byproducts constituted a source of starch. The byproducts from the refining of pulp from yellow mombin and papaya were sources of carotenoids. The highest starch and polyphenols contents, as well as antioxidant activities peak on the refining of byproducts of tamarind. The byproducts studied maintained chemical compounds and bioactive components that hold potential reuse.
