Abstract

Abstract Blueberries are a widely consumed superfood, known for their potent phytochemical content and health benefits. Given their importance to the global food market and the current health culture, blueberries are the focal point of much inquiry into their composition, physiological benefits, and the effect of growing conditions on the quality of the final berry. Given their complex nature and the numerous factors involved in the growing and production of blueberries, there are many variables to consider when determining the chemical characteristics of blueberry samples. One important factor to control is the berry size, which, if left uncontrolled, may confound the objective information sought within the study. This communication, which utilizes HPLC and in-column derivatization for the analysis of antioxidants, shows the impact of berry size (mass/volume) on the antioxidant content and that once the size of a blueberry is controlled, sample-to-sample variations become minimized.

探讨蓝莓大小与抗氧化剂含量的关系

蓝莓是一种被广泛食用的超级食物，以其强大的植物化学成分和健康益处而闻名。鉴于蓝莓对全球食品市场和当前健康文化的重要性，蓝莓是许多研究的焦点，包括其成分、生理益处以及生长条件对最终浆果质量的影响。考虑到蓝莓的复杂性质，以及蓝莓生长和生产过程中涉及的众多因素，在确定蓝莓样品的化学特性时，需要考虑许多变量。需要控制的一个重要因素是浆果的大小，如果不加以控制，可能会混淆研究中所寻求的客观信息。该通讯利用HPLC和柱内衍生分析抗氧化剂，显示了浆果大小(质量/体积)对抗氧化剂含量的影响，并且一旦蓝莓的大小得到控制，样品与样品之间的差异就会最小化。图形抽象
