Increased Phenolic Content And Antioxidant Capacity Of The Heated Leaves Of Yacon (Smallanthus Sonchifolius)
BIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY(2019)
摘要
We investigated the content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of two batches of non-heated and heated leaves of the yacon cultivar "Andes no yuki", grown in Japan. Lyophilized yacon leaves heated at 160 degrees C for 20 min and 100 degrees C for 60 min had a 1.96 to 9.69-times higher total phenolic content than that of the non-heated leaves. Heated leaves exhibited a 1.98 to 4.07-times higher antioxidant capacity than that of the non-heated leaves in three different free radical scavenging assays. Heated leaves were more efficient at attenuating the superoxide anion radical production in human granulocytic cells than the non-heated leaves. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that, in the heated leaves, the caffeic acid content was 2.13 to 3.64-times higher and the chlorogenic acid content was slightly lower than those in the non-heated leaves. Hence, heat processing may affect the active constituent contents in yacon leaves, potentiating its antioxidant capacity.
