“…In another study, total phenolic and antioxidant activity of tamarind pulp was also found to be highest when compared to star fruit, Indian gooseberry, ambarella and satkara [29]. Phenolic content and hydrolysable polyphenols such as catechin, epicatechin, taxifolin, apigenin, Eriodictiol and luteolin may be responsible for high antioxidant activity reported by Sayago-Ayerdi et al, [30], Gueye et al, [31] using FRAP, DPPH and ABTS methods. Sairah et al, [23] reported on the presence of organic acid in tamarind leaves that could also play role in oxidation reduction reactions.…”

Different potentials has been devoted to most of the abundant and under-utilized plants found in Africa. This characteristic properties can be harness and channel to aid environmental, economic and social development.Tamarindus indica is one of the most commonly under-utilized plant materials with a number of reported biological and environmental relevance. In this mini review, we reported on antioxidant potentials and environmental role associated with tamarindus indica which might be due to its vast phytochemical profile. The aim of the work was to unravel the applicability of antioxidant possession of Tamarindus indica in the field of environmental health and remediation. About sixty one (61) publications out of two hundreds (200) sourced from various databases were consulted. The articles were screened based on their bearing to the areas concerned this report. Numerous researchers revealed antioxidant capacity, phenolics and ascorbic acid content of different parts of tamarind to be significantly appreciative. This property shows a strong association with the vast amount of phytochemical confined in this plant. Antioxidant property in Tamarindus indica might serve a driving force in many of its displayed biologicals potentials. Thus, tamarindus indica could also serve a reasonably in the field of environmental health and safety due to their abundance and less utilization.

Dietary Polyphenols

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Current research on dietary polyphenols is mostly focused on the so-called extractable polyphenols (EPP), those ones relased from food matriz by several solvent combination. However, this ignores a relevant fraction of polyphenols remaining in the residues of those extractions, the non-extractable polyphenols (NEPP) or macromolecular antioxidants. They are either polymeric structures (mostly high molecular weight proanthocyanidins) or small phenolic structures closely linked to macromolecules such a proteins or dietary fibre. This partial approach to these dietary bioactive constituents may hamper the understanding of the whole relevance of dietary polyphenols. The present chapter provides an overview on the current knowledge of NEPP. In particular, the following aspecs are explored: strategies for the release and analysis of NEPP; contribution of these compounds to total polyphenol content in foods and, therefore to total polyphenol intake in different populations; evidences of their metabolic fate as well as specific features as compared to that of EPP; mechanism of biological action (antioxidant effects, modulation of colonic microbiota, biological activities of NEPP-derived metabolites, synergy with dietary fibre); evidences of their biological activity (considering both local effects in the digestive tube and systemic effects through their metabolites). Finally, the chapter provides some perspectives of the 2 main aspects that should be considered in order to advance in the scientific knowledge on NEPP in the near future.

The objective of this review is to identify the bioactive compounds present in tropical fruits such as Tamarindus indica L., Annona muricata, Mangifera indica, and Psidium guajava and their biological activities. The identification of these compounds shows their potential as a food ingredient in the development of products, providing added value to them, because not only the pulp of the fruit is used, but also the shell and its other parts, such as the leaves, are used, being viable sources to obtain some compounds that benefit human health. Implementing fruits that have certain bioactive compounds such as carotenoids (β-carotene, α-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and β-cryptoxanthin), antioxidants (vitamins A and C), and phenolic compounds (ellagic acid, gallic acid, citric acid) in the production process in the food industry, allows them to become functional foodstuffs. The results obtained show the need to implement the operational processes that allow obtaining different compounds, which ensure their stability and precision, applying different extraction methods such as maceration, Soxhlet, supercritical fluids, and ultrasound.
