Abstract
Fruits and vegetables are rich in essential nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants; however, they have short shelf life. Freezing is a superior method of preservation compared to other techniques with respect to nutrient retention and maintenance of sensory attributes. However, several physical and textural quality changes associated with freezing and thawing pose a serious problem to the quality of frozen products. Some of the disadvantages associated with the currently employed methods for freezing fruits and vegetables include low rates of heat exchange in blast freezers, shape limitation in plate freezers, high cost of operation in cryogenic freezing, and freezing solution dilution in immersion freezing. Therefore, novel freezing technologies have been developed to achieve controlled ice nucleation and crystallization, enhanced freezing rate, decreased phase transition time, and maintained temperature stability. This review discusses some of the most recent approaches employed in freezing and points to their adoption for maintaining the quality of fruits and vegetables with extended storage.

Bioavailability Study of Isothiocyanates and Other Bioactive Compounds of Brassica oleracea L. var. Italica Boiled or Steamed: Functional Food or Dietary Supplement? Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11020209. [PMID: 35204095 PMCID: PMC8868189 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The levels of bioactive compounds in broccoli and their bioavailability following broccoli intake can be affected by the cooking procedures used for vegetable preparation. In the present pilot study, we compared the human plasma bioavailability of antioxidant compounds (β-carotene, lutein and isothiocyanate) and of phylloquinone (vitamin K) on seven volunteers before and after the administration of boiled and steamed broccoli. Moreover, plasma isothiocyanate (ITCs) levels were also evaluated after the administration of a single dose of BroccoMax®, a dietary supplement containing GLSs with active myrosinase. Steam-cooking has been demonstrated to promote higher plasma bioavailability in ITCs than boiling (AUCSTEAMED = 417.4; AUCBOILED = 175.3) and is comparable to that reached following the intake of BroccoMax®, a supplement containing glucoraphanin and active myrosinase (AUC = 450.1). However, the impact of boiling and steaming treatment on plasma bioavailability of lipophilic antioxidants (lutein and β-carotene) and of phylloquinone was comparable. The lutein and β-carotene plasma levels did not change after administration of steamed or boiled broccoli. Conversely, both treatments led to a similar increase of phylloquinone plasma levels. Considering the antioxidant action and the potential chemopreventive activity of ITCs, steaming treatments can be considered the most suitable cooking method to promote the health benefits of broccoli in the diet.
