“…Criollo and Jobo varieties presented the higher total carotenoid content with 105.88 and 196.15 mg β-carotene equivalent/100 g dry matter, respectively. Silva et al (2014), who quantified bioactive compounds in different fruit from Brazil, found 0.954 mg β-carotene equivalent/100 g dry matter in mango; Seok et al (2010) reported that the carotenoid content in Malaysia's mango pulp was 0.650 equivalent β-carotene/100 g dry matter, which are much lower values than the ones found in this study. It is worth noting that there are 17 important carotenoids found in mango, among them β-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, isomers of luteoxanthin, violaxanthin, neoxanthin and β-carotene, which is the last one, the one with the highest prevalence (Rungpichayapichet et al, 2015).…”

Mango is one of the tropical fruits of greater production and consumption in the world, and a rich source of bioactive compounds, with various functional properties such as antioxidant activity. In Colombia, mango's market is very broad and diverse. However, there are very few studies that determined the content of bioactive secondary metabolites. The objective of this study was to evaluated the content of different metabolites like Mangiferin, carotenoids, tannins, and the antioxidant capacity by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) methodology of six cultivars from the Colombian Caribbean region, with total carotenoid values ranging from 24.67 to 196.15 mg of β-carotene/100 g dry pulp; 84.30 to 161.49 mg Catequine eq./100 g dry pulp for the content of condensed tannins, and 91.80 to 259.23 mg/100 g dry pulp for mangiferin content. The ORAC methodology showed important antioxidant activity results, such as the Chancleta variety with the highest value (2163.78 μmol Trolox/100 g dry pulp). In conclusion, the evaluated mango varieties had promising results as functional food of high nutraceutical value, being Chancleta, Criollo and Jobo varieties, the fruits with highest content in bioactive compounds that expressed the best antioxidant activity.

“…Food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries are interested in [354] clean recovery of valuable compounds. Thus, exploration of more efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly techniques of polyphenol extraction, that is anthocyanins, from food matrices and waste plant food processing residues (grape fruit, fruits by-products, winery waste materials, by-products) is a challenge [355][356][357][358][359][360]. In any case, in order to ascertain the nutraceutical potential of bioactive compounds, quantification [359,361] is required, thus obtaining vital information for future food industrial applications.…”

Flavonoids - From Biosynthesis to Human Health

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Anthocyanins are a family of natural pigments classified into the group of flavonoids, considered to be responsible for the color and taste of many fruits and vegetables, i.e. berries. Anthocyanins are common components of the human diet. Besides their interest as colorant because of their coloring properties, the study of anthocyanin compounds stems from their wide applicability in the prevention and even in the treatment of various human diseases. However, various aspects of the pharmacological roles of anthocyanins remain in the dark, having still several obstacles to the development of robust diets or prescribing lines on consumption of anthocyanins. The chemical structure of anthocyanins determines in large measure its capacity and efficacy as an antioxidant agent. In this study, the following aspects are reviewed: the antioxidant effect of anthocyanin pigments; the oxidative stress, the bioavailability after intake and biological aspects of anthocyanins, the method for measuring the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins, the relationship between structure and activity; and the influence of the anthocyanins in the antioxidant activity of wines. Finally an overview of some potential uses in food industry is attempted mainly focusing in the anthocyanin encapsulation topic. Attention has been paid to the more recent publications in the field.

“…Consumption of fruits and vegetables is no longer merely a result of taste and personal preference, but it has been associated with the adoption of healthier lifestyles due the presence of essential nutrients and secondary phytochemical compounds that are frequently associated to the protection against several pathophysiological processes [1][2][3]. Many studies have focused on the antioxidant capacity of plant-derived food, especially the fruits with high phenolic content, in order to understand their role in the health benefits, such as the prevention of degenerative diseases, central nervous system disorders, cancer as well as the aging process, amongst others [4,5].…”

“…For these reasons, much effort has been made to characterize the phytochemical contents of tropical fruits that, besides presenting a great species diversity with characteristic flavors, attractive colors, and special scents, are considered stronger candidates for screening of antioxidant properties [2,4,6]. In this context, Brazil offers a wide variety of native fruits with nutritional qualities and health claims that are still little known by consumers.…”

Elaboration and Characterization of Apple Nectars Supplemented with Araçá-boi (Eugenia stipitata Mac Vaugh—Myrtaceae)

Fruits and vegetables are known as sources of nutritionally important phytochemicals, such as phenolic compounds, and Brazilian biodiversity may be hiding many underexplored fruits with potential health benefits. In this study, we formulated a fruit-based beverage by supplementing known amounts of freeze-dried araçá-boi (Eugenia stipitata) (FD) to a commercial apple nectar in order to evaluate the impact in terms of nutritional (level of phenolic compounds, flavonoids and antioxidant capacity) and sensory parameters. The best acceptance was evidenced for the apple nectar supplemented with 1 g/L of FD, while no statistically significant changes were obtained for non-supplemented apple nectar and apple nectar supplemented with 5 or 10 g/L FD. Lower acceptances for apple nectars supplemented with 15, 20 or 30 g/L FD were suggested to be caused by an increase in acidity. In general, total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant capacity (DPPH, TEAC and ORAC) increased with the supplementation level, although not always a statistically significant difference was observed. When compared to control (non-supplemented), the apple nectar supplemented with 10 g/L FD presented a significant increase in total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant capacity (except for ORAC assay), and therefore this level of supplementation was considered ideal, considering both nutritional and sensory properties.
