Abstract
Objective and methodology: the aim of this research was to determine the TAC of foods traditionally prepared in Mexico. TAC was assessed using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, the 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical (ABTS), and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. Additionally, the capacity of the samples to reduce ferric ions to ferrous ions (FRAP) was measured.
Results: the TAC of prepared foods and beverages ranged from 6 to 102 µmol ET/g in the ORAC assay, with mole pastes showing the highest values. Beverages ranged from 0 to 25 µmol ET/g in ORAC. For the ABTS assay, values ranged from 21-342 mg EAA/g, from 0 to 297 µmol ET/g with DPPH, and from 11-298 mg EAA/g in FRAP. Foods such as grilled tuna, bell peppers with onions, red mole, stewed huitlacoche, refried black beans, rajas with cream, and corn exhibited the highest values.
Conclusions: the foods and beverages examined in this study exhibited significant TAC, which can be attributed to both: the ingredients (e.g., peppers, tomatoes, spices such as garlic, pepper, cilantro, and lemon) and methods of preparation.
期刊介绍:
The journal Nutrición Hospitalaria was born following the SENPE Bulletin (1981-1983) and the SENPE journal (1984-1985). It is the official organ of expression of the Spanish Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism. Throughout its 36 years of existence has been adapting to the rhythms and demands set by the scientific community and the trends of the editorial processes, being its most recent milestone the achievement of Impact Factor (JCR) in 2009. Its content covers the fields of the sciences of nutrition, with special emphasis on nutritional support.
