Studied On Antioxidant Activities And Compositions Of Macadamia Nuts Oil By Aqueous Extraction, Du Liqing, Shuai Xixiang, Tu Xinghao, Zhang Ming

Food and Machinery

Extracted kernel oil from dried Macadamia by aqueous method. Firstly, the basic physicochemical properties were analyzed, and then, the infrared characteristics, fatty acid, tocopherol, phospholipids, sterols of macadamia oil were analyzed by the method of IR, GC and HPLC, to determine the oxidation induction time and free radical scavenging capacity to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of macadamia nut oil. The results showed that the peroxide value, acid value, iodine value, saponification value, refractive index,moisture and volatile matter by aqueous extraction of macadamia nut oil were 0.59 mmoL/kg, 0.28 mg KOH/g, 74.21 g/100 g, 198.78 mg KOH/g, 1.466 8, 0.36%, respectively; …

Ten different Persian walnut cultivars were examined for their compositional data, including eight Hungarian and two introduced varieties. Oil content and fatty acid composition were determined, as well as oxidative stability (indicated by induction time). Antioxidative capacity, total polyphenol measurements, and individual phenolic compounds were also determined. Not only dry samples but fresh and stored samples were included in this study. Large differences were found among the varieties within these parameters, for example in oxidative stability, which contributes to antioxidative capacity. In conclusion, the nutritional value of Hungarian walnut cultivars was the same or even higher than those of foreign …


Bioactive And Antioxidant Characteristics Of Blackberry Cultivars From East Anatolia, Müttali̇p Gündoğdu, Tuncay Kan, İhsan Canan Jan 2016

Bioactive And Antioxidant Characteristics Of Blackberry Cultivars From East Anatolia, Müttali̇p Gündoğdu, Tuncay Kan, İhsan Canan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Blackberry is commonly used both in the fresh and the processing market. In the present study antioxidant capacity, organic acids, phenolic compounds, vitamin C, and sugars content of blackberry cultivars grown in the east of Turkey were determined. Phenolic compounds, organic acids, vitamin C, and sugars were determined by HPLC. Antioxidant capacity was determined by spectrophotometric methods. The cultivar Cherokee had the highest antioxidant capacity (48.900 μmol TE g-1), and the cultivar Jumbo had the lowest antioxidant capacity (30.855 μmol TE g-1). It was determined that the chief phenolic compounds in blackberry cultivars were catechin (ranging from 111.599 to 438.970 …


Determination Of Antioxidant, Total Phenolic, Total Carotenoid, Lycopene, Ascorbic Acid, And Sugar Contents Of Citrus Species And Mandarin Hybrids, İhsan Canan, Müttali̇p Gündoğdu, Ubeyi̇t Seday, Celi̇le Ayli̇n Oluk, Zafer Karaşahi̇n, Evren Çağlar Eroğlu, Ebru Yazici, Mustafa Ünlü Jan 2016

This study aimed to determine the antioxidant capacity; the total phenolic, total carotenoid, sugar, and ascorbic acid contents; and some pomological characteristics of Citrus species (Citrus reticulata, Citrus sinensis, and Citrus paradisi) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata) and their new hybrids developed for yield at the Alata Horticultural Research Institute in Mersin, Turkey. With respect to antioxidant capacities, the highest value (45.28 µmol TE/100 g) was determined in Cocktail (Citrus paradisi) cultivar fruits among all examined cultivars and hybrids. We found that 7-19 (Clementine x Kara) mandarin hybrids had the highest total phenolic content (386.81 mg gallic acid equivalent/g) and the …
