Download or read book Processing and Impact on Active Components in Food written by Victor R Preedy and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From beef to baked goods, fish to flour, antioxidants are added to preserve the shelf life of foods and ensure consumer acceptability. These production-added components may also contribute to the overall availability of essential nutrients for intake as well as the prevention of the development of unwelcome product characteristics such as off-flavours or colours. However, there are processes that reduce the amount of naturally occurring antioxidants and awareness of that potential is just as important for those in product research and development. There is a practical need to understand not only the physiological importance of antioxidants in terms of consumer health benefit, but how they may be damaged or enhanced through the processing and packaging phases. This book presents information key to understanding how antioxidants change during production of a wide variety of food products, with a focus toward how this understanding may be translated effectively to other foods as well. - Addresses how the composition of food is altered, the analytical techniques used, and the applications to other foods - Presents in-chapter summary points and other translational insights into concepts, techniques, findings and approaches to processing of other foods - Explores advances in analytical and methodological science within each chapter

Download or read book Phenolic Compounds in Food written by Leo M.L. Nollet and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenolic compounds, one of the most widely distributed groups of secondary metabolites in plants, have received a lot of attention in the last few years since the consumption of vegetables and beverages with a high level of such compounds may reduce risks of the development of several diseases. This is partially due to their antioxidant power since other interactions with cell functions have been discovered. What’s more, phenolic compounds are involved in many functions in plants, such as sensorial properties, structure, pollination, resistance to pests and predators, germination, processes of seed, development, and reproduction. Phenolic compounds can be classified in different ways, ranging from simple molecules to highly polymerized compounds. Phenolic Compounds in Food: Characterization and Analysis deals with all aspects of phenolic compounds in food. In five sections, the 21 chapters of this book address the classification and occurrence of phenolic compounds in nature and foodstuffs; discuss all major aspects of analysis of phenolic compounds in foods, such as extraction, clean-up, separation, and detection; detail specific analysis methods of a number of classes of phenolic compounds, from simple molecules to complex compounds; describe the antioxidant power of phenolic compounds; and discuss specific analysis methods in different foodstuffs.
Download or read book Investigating the Antioxidant Activity of Phenolics in Georgia Fruit Cultivars written by Xiaoxi Liao and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a systematic characterization of the phenolic constituents in two Georgia-grown fruit species, and provides a better understanding of their antioxidative properties from both chemical and biological perspectives. Two representative fruit types, peaches and blackberries, were investigated due to their commercial and economic importance to the Georgia's agricultural sector. The research employed the chromatographic techniques of Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and HPLC-MS to give a detailed characterization of the fruits' phenolic profiles both qualitatively and quantitatively. A number of new phenolic compounds in the extracts analyzed were elucidated by this study, some for the first time. The phenolic profiles also vary depending on various intrinsic and extrinsic factors including cultivar choice, geographic location, and time of harvest. Six Georgia-grown peach varieties were studied and cultivar-based differences were observed in terms of phenolic concentrations and antioxidant activities, with those requiring a longer period before harvest exhibiting greater antioxidant capacities. Two cultivars showing contrasting antioxidant capacities based on in vitro chemical assays, also exhibited a significant difference when the analysis was conducted on the basis of fresh weight in the two biological assays, namely cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) and anti-glycation assays. Procyanidins isolated from the extracts exhibited remarkable antioxidant capacity relative to the other phenolic classes present according to both chemical and biological assays. The U.S. Southeastern erect-type blackberry cultivars, released by the University of Arkansas breeding program, were found to possess a different total phenolics content and composition from those of Northwestern cultivars. Propelargonidin B-type dimer and ellagitannins were the dominant phenolics in these Georgia-grown berries, and appear to be responsible for significant antioxidant activity.
