Wild edible fruits, neglected by the development of commercial agriculture, have recently aroused as a good source natural colorants and bioactive compounds. These novel uses could cover recent demand for healthier foods with functional properties. Prunus avium, Fragaria vesca Vaccinium myrtillus wild fruits were characterized individual anthocyanin profile color CIELAB parameters, well phenolic fraction. In addition, some bioactivities evaluated. P. avium cyanidin-O-deoxyhexosyl-pentoside...
In this study, a novel natural food colorant based on anthocyanins was developed from wild barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.) fruits using ultrasound-assisted extraction, which optimized through RSM. Four extraction variables (ultrasound power, time, S/L ratio, and solvent pH) were evaluated in combination. The response criteria used the total anthocyanin content (TAC) color parameters. optimal TAC achieved at 2.5 min, 345 W, pH 3, 22.12 g/L. fruit sample (without seeds) (BVFF) its extract...
Formulations based on a mixture of corn: lentil flours (70:30) (93.75%), salt (1.25%), sugar (5%), 5 or 20% Hylon® V, were fortified with and fermented Cabernet Sauvignon grape skin seed, unfermented Chardonnay seed flours, evaluated for their functional components. The incorporation winemaking by-products increased the dietary fibre content. Soluble sugars arabinoxylans content depended only corn:lentil presence. total starch varied between 42 .55 g/100g to 58.41 highest concentrations...
Abstract The edible fruits of four wild small trees or shrubs ( Arbutus unedo , Crataegus monogyna Prunus spinosa and Rubus ulmifolius ) traditionally consumed in the Iberian Peninsula were studied to evaluate their potential for human nutrition, considering content bioactive compounds. Lipophilic phytochemicals, such as fatty acids tocopherols, well some hydrophilic antioxidants, vitamin C organic acids, analyzed. In addition, antioxidant activity, measured lipid peroxidation inhibition...
The effects of extrusion processing on fibre (soluble and insoluble), total available carbohydrates, tocopherols, organic acids, phenolics, flavonols, hydroxycinnamic hydroxybenzoic as well the antioxidant capacity different fibre-enriched lentil flours, were evaluated before after process. Total dietary was partially decreased extrusion, which correlated with a significant increase in soluble fraction. γ-tocopherol major isoform, extrusion. Additionally, marked decrease 83–94% tocopherols...
