Abstract

Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from the damages caused by free radicals. Fruit and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and provide important sources of antioxidants. While the quest for an antioxidant supplement is ongoing, this study investigated the antioxidant vitamins and minerals composition of fresh carrot-cabbage juice. Antioxidant vitamins and minerals compositions of the juice were determined by standard methods using spectrophotometry and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) respectively. The concentration of antioxidant vitamins was found to be in the order; vitamin C > vitamin A > vitamin E. However, manganese has the highest concentration (P < 0.05) among minerals. There is no significant difference between the concentrations of manganese and copper (P > 0.05). The concentration of chromium is significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that of manganese and copper but greater (P < 0.05) than that of zinc. The study showed that fresh carrot-cabbage juice contains a respective concentration of antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E) and antioxidant minerals (Cu, Cr, Mn and Zn). The juice is hence a good source of antioxidant vitamins and minerals and may help complement the antioxidant system of the body.

新鲜胡萝卜-卷心菜汁的抗氧化维生素和矿物质组成

抗氧化剂是保护细胞免受自由基损害的物质。水果和蔬菜富含抗氧化剂，是抗氧化剂的重要来源。虽然对抗氧化补充剂的探索仍在进行中，但这项研究调查了新鲜胡萝卜卷心菜汁的抗氧化维生素和矿物质成分。分别用分光光度法和原子吸收分光光度法测定果汁中抗氧化维生素和矿物质的组成。抗氧化维生素的浓度在正常范围内;维生素C >维生素A >维生素e，但矿物质中锰含量最高(P < 0.05)。锰和铜的浓度差异不显著(P > 0.05)。铬的浓度显著低于锰和铜(P < 0.05)，高于锌(P < 0.05)。研究表明，新鲜胡萝卜-卷心菜汁中含有相应浓度的抗氧化维生素(a、C、E)和抗氧化矿物质(Cu、Cr、Mn、Zn)。因此，果汁是抗氧化维生素和矿物质的良好来源，可能有助于补充身体的抗氧化系统。
