Abstract
Selenium (Se) enrichment has been shown to enhance the nutritional value of several vegetables and fruits, particularly in terms of phenolic compounds content. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Se enrichment, using 200 mg/L of sodium selenate by foliar spray application during phenological phase, on blueberries of Cargo cultivar. The results demonstrated a significant increase in Se content from 21.4 to 40.7 ng Se/g d.w. Significant changes in fruit composition and nutritional quality were observed, including an increase in organic acids. The volatile organic compounds were investigated by GC-MS, revealing a significant increase of linalool and a reduction of 2-hexanal. UHPLC-DADMS/MS analysis was applied to quantify the total anthocyanins content (TAC), obtaining the profile (in the extracts). The results showed a significant increase in the TAC to 3.14 mg C3GE/ g d.w., accompanied by an increase in the delphinidin derivatives, compared to the untreated control sample. This enhancement reflected an increase in the final antioxidant capacity, and exhibited evidence of cytotoxicity in a coculture of Caco-2 and HT-29 MTX cell lines. The present study has demonstrated that the addition of Se can have a substantial impact on the nutritional and health-promoting properties of blueberries.
硒(Se)的富集已被证明可以提高几种蔬菜和水果的营养价值,特别是在酚类化合物含量方面。研究物候期叶面喷施200 mg/L硒酸钠富硒对Cargo蓝莓的影响。结果表明,硒含量从21.4到40.7 ng Se/g d.w显著增加,果实成分和营养品质发生了显著变化,其中有机酸含量增加。气相色谱-质谱分析了挥发性有机化合物,发现芳樟醇明显增加,2-己醛明显减少。采用UHPLC-DADMS/MS分析定量总花青素含量(TAC),得到提取物剖面。结果显示,与未经处理的对照样品相比,TAC显著增加至3.14 mg C3GE/ g d.w.,同时海豚苷衍生物也增加。这种增强反映了最终抗氧化能力的增加,并在Caco-2和HT-29 MTX细胞系共培养中显示出细胞毒性的证据。目前的研究表明,硒的添加可以对蓝莓的营养和健康促进特性产生实质性的影响。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
