Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Significant changes in relation to an increased "nutritional awareness" of the consumer have recently been observed. The role of food producers is no longer limited to providing consumers with a wide range of products, but their composition is also not without significance. There is an increase in interest in so-called "functional food", which, in addition to traditional nutrients, also provides ingredients with specific properties that benefit human health. The obtainment of good and reproducible quality of a product, its safety, its functional composition, consumer acceptance, and the results of clinical trials of using these products showing the benefits to human beings are important factors in functional food product development. Therefore, we would like to invite authors to submit original research articles or review articles, describing various aspects of novel functional food development.

The present study aimed to investigate the total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activity in terms of the DPPH scavenging, reducing power, and H2O2 scavenging of the aerial parts of onion, white radish, red radish, carrot, and beet as affected by different extraction solvents. Generally, the aerial part of these vegetables has high antioxidant properties. Samples were extracted with methanol (100 and 70%), ethanol (100 and 70%), and water. Total phenolic content was highest when the samples were extracted using 100% methanol, while extraction with 100% ethanol yielded the highest total flavonoids. The highest DPPH activity and H2O2 scavenging values were obtained by extraction of the aerial plant parts with 70% ethanol, and the 70% methanol extract had the highest reducing power. Partial least regression (PLS) was performed to validate the optimum solvent for extraction of the antioxidants and their activity in each plant. The PLS indicated that there was a variation in the validation of the different extracts for each plant. The high antioxidant capacity of root vegetables, which is natural, indicates that they may have health and dietetic advantages for consumers. Full article
