Abstract
To investigate the relationship between pigments and antioxidant capacity in tomato fruits, the content of pigment substances (lycopene, carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, chlorophylls), the activities of oxidatively active enzymes (SOD, POD, CAT), MDA and antioxidant capacity (FRAP, DPPH, ABTS) in 30 ripening tomato fruits were measured in this study. The results showed that different tomatoes differed in pigment content, oxidatively active enzyme activities, and antioxidant capacity; the results of correlation analysis illustrated that the free radical scavenging capacities for FRAP, DPPH, and ABTS of five pigments are different. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that the anthocyanin-rich purple cultivars 'yoom', 'Black Pearl', and 'Wagner' have stronger comprehensive antioxidant capacity. It can be concluded that lycopene was the key pigment affecting the antioxidant capacity from the calculated combined scores and weights of each index on the five principal components by linear combination coefficients. The results of the study provide a theoretical basis for tomato fruit color breeding and the development and utilization of functional substances.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
