Among the vegetables, green chili showed the highest total oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORACFL) and lipophilic ORAC (L-ORACFL); whereas, bean showed highest hydrophilic ORAC (H-ORACFL) content. The H-ORACFL of vegetable samples varied between 2.26 to 23.08 ~tmol of Trolox equivalent (TE)/g of fresh weight (FW) and L-ORACFL content widely varied from 0.20 (sweet pumpkin) to 16.95 (green chili). The range of H-ORACFL values of fruits showed large variation (0.45-178 Ixmol of TE/g FW). All four different types of tea showed high H-ORACFL (1,295.84-2,709.11 lamol of TE/g), in contrast to negligible amount of L-ORACFL. In legumes, H-ORACFL content ranged from 16.22 to 140.54; whereas, L-ORACFL ranged from 4.43 to 25.78. Porso millets showed higher L-ORACFL value (19.4) as compared to H-ORACFL (0.8). In case of spices, L-ORACFL content varied from 29.75 ± 0.00 to 1,575.24 ± 39.63, which is considerably higher as compared to H-ORACFL (61.68 ± 1.71 to 272.82± 1.05) content. Comparatively, spices showed much higher H-ORACFL values as compared to fruits analyzed. In case of selective vegetables, fruits and tea samples, the total phenol content was highly correlated with the H-ORACFL content.展开更多

Damaged starch determined by a-amylase hydrolysis to characterize and quantify the molecular composition of cereal foods starches treated with different conditions during processing that had been physically damaged to different extents, by preparation and processing provide the physicochemical data to understand more fully the effects of mechanical damage on amylase, amylopectin content and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) for selected cereal foods products. There were significant difference between treatments in term of damaged starch content of cereal foods flours which were 0.64% to 36.40%, while the DSC results for the starches were the gelatinisation onset (To), peak temperature (Tp) and conclusion temperature (To), and temperatures of selected food starches ranged from 34.86 ℃ to 75.20 ℃, 54.04 ℃ to 85.94 ℃, and 63.5 ℃ to 95.16 ℃. There were significant differences between all cereal foods starches in term of amylose and its contents ranged from 70.3% to 87% and also there were significant differences between the amylopectin content of cereal foods flours ranged from 13.3% to 29.6%.展开更多
