The study aimed to investigate the effects of pre-treatment (husking, sifting, and moisture adjustment) explosion puffing on chemical composition, volatile profile, phenolic content (free bound), radical-scavenging activity, formation potentially hazardous compounds in wheat grain. Processing decreased protein, fat, ash, dietary fiber primarily due removing aleurone layer thermal degradation leading a diminished overall nutritional value. However, starch increased, along with significant...
Horseradish contains many bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of various wall materials and their ratios on physical properties bioactive-compound retention stability in microencapsulated horseradish leaf root juices. juice was using maltodextrin, maltodextrin/gum Arabic, soy protein isolate, starch three different core-to-wall ratios. total phenolic, flavonoid, flavan-3-ol, phenolic-acid contents, as well activity, were determined...

Abstract Horseradish is a perennial plant with significant antioxidant properties, and it contains about 0.2% to 1.0% of essential oil, mainly sinigrin, sinigrin-derived allylisothiocyanate diallylsulphide. The aim the study was determine composition volatile compounds horseradish (A. rusticana L.) roots depending on genotype. Volatiles from fresh nine genotypes were extracted using solid phase microextraction DVB/Car/PDMS fibre further analysed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry....
Abstract Horseradish ( Armoracia rusticana ) leaves pomace, which contains high-value bioactive compounds, is the product resulting from pressing horseradish for juice production. The aim of current research was to investigate effect convective, microwave-vacuum and freeze-drying on content compounds in pomace. Convective hot air-drying performed at 40, 60 80 °C. total phenolic (TPC), flavonoid (TFC), flavan-3-ol content, acid flavonol chlorophylls carotenoids, antioxidant activity were...
A perennial herb horseradish (Armoracia rusticana L.) contains biologically active substances and cultivated in temperate regions of the world.The aim current research was to determine content phenolic compounds antioxidant properties leaves depending on harvest time.For experiments three years at six different times (during period from May October) were collected.Fresh plant material extracted with ethanol using conventional extraction.For all extracts total (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) activity...
Plant pigments have a wide range of nutritional benefits.Chlorophyll has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, heavy metal chelating etc. properties, whereas carotenoids exhibit significant antioxidant activities.The aim current research was to determine the content chlorophyll a, b and total frozen horseradish leaves leave by-products depending on used extraction solvent.For experiments, after juice were extracted with four different solvents (acetone, diethyl ether, methanol ethanol).Chlorophyll...
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana L.) is a perennial herb belonging to the Brassicaceae family; it contains biologically active substances such as phenolic compounds.The aim of present research was clasify horseradish root genotypes, based on total phenol content and antioxidant properties, using hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), compare them with clusters obtained from data molecular random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Plant compounds are among most important primary...
Abstract Consumers are increasingly consuming sprouted seeds due to their low calories content, nutritional value, as well beneficial effects on human health. Sprouts contain many bioactive compounds such minerals, fibre, vitamin C, carotenoids and phenolic compounds. The aim of this study was determine the darkness, light time total content scavenging activity in alfalfa (Medicago sativa), radish (Raphanus sativus), broccoli (Brassica oleracea) hemp (Cannabis sativa) during germination....
Abstract Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittm.) is mainly used for animal feed, but recent studies have shown its possible beneficial effect human health. The objective of this study was to investigate the nutritional quality triticale grown under different cropping systems in Latvia. Two winter varieties, ‘Inarta’ and ‘Ruja’, were cultivated 2014 2015 conventional organic systems. Protein, starch, total dietary fibre determined using standard methods. Ultrasound assisted extraction isolation...
Abstract Pastry cream contains wheat flour, which is not suitable for celiac patients who require a gluten-free diet. Potatoes are known as good source of starch, minerals and vitamins. They also contain protein, dietary fibre various phytochemicals. Their addition to pastry can both serve texturising agent enrich the nutritional value final product. This study aimed evaluate suitability potatoes replacement flour in cream. For purposes, physicochemical attributes eleven potato varieties...
