Tan S, Lan X, Chen S, Zhong X, Li W. Physical character, total polyphenols, anthocyanin profile and antioxidant activity of red cabbage as affected by five processing methods. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112929. [PMID: 37254355 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Understanding the influence of processing methods on the phytochemicals of fruits and vegetables is of importance in retaining the health-benefiting properties of those products. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of five processing methods including freeze drying (FD), hot air drying (HD), water boiling (WB), steaming (ST), and pickling (PI) on the physical character, total polyphenols, anthocyanin profile and antioxidant activity of red cabbage. Different color and texture were observed after different processing methods. Total anthocyanin content was reduced by 73%, 72%, 41%, 16%, and 30% in FD, HD, WB, ST and PI processed red cabbage, respectively. PI samples showed the highest values of total polyphenols and DPPH scavenge activity among all the processed red cabbage. Both FD and HD samples had relatively low values of total polyphenols and DPPH scavenge activity. However, FD sample had the highest FRAP values. UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS analysis showed that fresh red cabbage contained 22 anthocyanins among which cyanidin-3-diglucoside-5-glucoside was the prominent. Compared with drying process, WB, ST and PI decreased the loss of most of the anthocyanin component in red cabbage. Correlation analysis indicated that antioxidant capacity as determined by DPPH of red cabbage was positively and significantly correlated with the total anthocyanins. This study suggested that drying induced significant loss of phytochemicals in red cabbage, and WB, ST, as well as PI were advisable ways for daily consumption of red cabbage considering the bioactive components. Especially, ST was the best way to retain anthocyanins in red cabbage.

Abstract
Red cabbage is rich in phytochemical compounds, and its consumption, either raw or cooked, has been linked to the prevention of several diseases. This work aimed to investigate the influence of cooking methods on in vitro bioaccessibility of phenolics and antioxidant activity of red cabbage. The vegetable was subjected to boiling, steaming, and microwaving for different times to evaluate color parameters, total phenolic (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), anthocyanin content (AC), and antioxidant activity (FRAP, DPPH, and ABTS). The phytochemical bioaccessibility before and after cooking was also evaluated by in vitro simulated digestion. Steaming showed the most significant retention of the compounds after 20 and 25 min of cooking (72-86% for TPC, 72-77% for TFC, 75-79% for FRAP, 84-91% for DPPH, 70-83% for ABTS), followed by microwaving, which was more stable in 10 min. Microwaving decreased TFC and AC over time. Boiling did not show significant differences between the cooking times and showed more than 50% of losses of TPC, TFC, and AC and 30 to 60% of antioxidant activity. Steaming was the best cooking method, showing the most significant tendency to black coloration (< L*). In 10 min, it still showed the highest percentages of increase in TPC and the minor losses of TFC and AC in the gastric and intestinal phases. Steaming also increased the antioxidant after digestion when compared to uncooked red cabbage. These results are important to help consumers choose the most effective cooking method for red cabbage to retain its health-promoting components.

Abstract
Anthocyanins have received considerable attention for the development of food products with attractive colors and potential health benefits. However, anthocyanin applications have been hindered by stability issues, especially in the context of complex food matrices and diverse processing methods. From the natural microenvironment of plants to complex processed food matrices and formulations, there may happen comprehensive changes to anthocyanins, leading to unpredictable stability behavior under various processing conditions. In particular, anthocyanin hydration, degradation, and oxidation during thermal operations in the presence of oxygen represent major challenges. First, this review aims to summarize our current understanding of key anthocyanin stability issues focusing on the chemical properties and their consequences in complex food systems. The subsequent efforts to examine plenty of cases attempt to unravel a universal pattern and provide thorough guidance for future food practice regarding anthocyanins. Additionally, we put forward a model with highlights on the role of the balance between anthocyanin release and degradation in stability evaluations. Our goal is to engender updated insights into anthocyanin stability behavior under food processing conditions and provide a robust foundation for the development of anthocyanin stabilization strategies, expecting to promote more and deeper progress in this field.

[PMID: 34658044 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2021] [Revised: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing the prevalence worldwide at an alarming rate, becoming a serious public health problem that mainly affects developing countries. Functional food research is currently of great interest because it contributes to developing nutritional therapy strategies for T2DM prevention and treatment. Bioactive compounds identified in some plant foods contribute to human health by mechanisms of action that exert biological effects on metabolic pathways involved in the development of T2DM. Hence, vegetables with high bioactive compounds content may be a source of functional value for the control of T2DM. Cabbages varieties (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) such as green (GCB), white (WCB), and red (RCB) are foods consumed (raw or cooked) and cultivated in different regions of the world. Scientific evidence shows that cabbage has multi-target effects on glucose homeostatic regulation due to its high content of bioactive compounds. It has also been shown to decrease damage to organs affected by T2DM complications, such as the liver and kidney. Additionally, it could contribute as a preventive by attenuating problems underlying the development of T2DM as oxidative stress and obesity. This review highlights the functional properties of cabbage varieties involved in glucose regulation and the main mechanisms of the action exerted by their bioactive compounds. In conclusion, cabbage is a valuable food that can be employed as part of nutritional therapy or functional ingredient aimed at the prevention and treatment of T2DM.
