Abstract
Strawberry is one of the most consumed berries worldwide and the compounds on its extracts present numerous health benefits, including antioxidant potential. In this work, the effects of processing strawberries by gamma radiation at 2 kGy and 7 days storage at 4 °C were evaluated regarding their phenolic profile and bioactive properties. From the HPLC–DAD-ESI/MS analysis, pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside was the main compound identified in extracts from non-stored and non-irradiated strawberries (1040 ± 53 mg/100 g dry weight). Gamma radiation and refrigerated storage preserved or improved the antioxidant activity of the strawberry extracts, while keeping the phenolic and ascorbic acid contents. Furthermore, all strawberry extracts exhibited high α-glucosidase inhibition, whereas α-amylase inhibition seemed to be enhanced by gamma radiation treatment at 2 kGy. These findings can provide useful information to develop new ingredients from irradiated fruits to be used by industries, with high added value especially as natural and promising antidiabetic agents.
期刊介绍:
The journal European Food Research and Technology publishes state-of-the-art research papers and review articles on fundamental and applied food research. The journal''s mission is the fast publication of high quality papers on front-line research, newest techniques and on developing trends in the following sections:
-chemistry and biochemistry-
technology and molecular biotechnology-
nutritional chemistry and toxicology-
analytical and sensory methodologies-
food physics.
Out of the scope of the journal are:
- contributions which are not of international interest or do not have a substantial impact on food sciences,
- submissions which comprise merely data collections, based on the use of routine analytical or bacteriological methods,
- contributions reporting biological or functional effects without profound chemical and/or physical structure characterization of the compound(s) under research.
