Elderberry (Sambucus nigra L., fructus) is a very potent herbal drug, deriving from traditional European medicine (TEM). Ripe elderberries are rich in anthocyanins, flavonols, flavonol esters, flavonol glycosides, lectins, essential oils, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. Nevertheless, unripe elderflower fruits contain a certain amount of sambunigrin, a toxic cyanogenic glycoside, whose concentration decreases in the ripening process. Therefore, quality assurance must be carried out. The standard method described in literature is the photometric determination (pH-differential method) of the total anthocyanin content (TAC) that is the highest when the berries are ripe. The drawback of the pH-differential method is the extensive sample preparation and the low accuracy of the method. Therefore, the goal of this publication was to develop a fast non invasive near-infrared (NIR) method for the determination of TAC in whole berries. TAC of elderberries was measured using pH-differentiation method where TAC values of 632.87 mg/kg to 4342.01 mg/kg were measured. Additionally, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, cyanidin-3-O-sambubioside and cyanidin-3-O-sambubioside-5-O-glucoside which represent more than 98% of TAC in elderberry were quantified using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-multiple wavelength detection—ultra high resolution-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MWD-UHR-Q-TOF-MS) and their sum parameter was determined, ranging between 499.43 mg/kg and 8199.07 mg/kg. Using those two methods as reference, whole elderberries were investigated by NIR spectroscopy with the Büchi NIRFlex N-500 benchtop spectrometer. According to the constructed partial least squares regression (PLSR) models the performance was as follows: a relative standard deviation (RSDPLSR) of 13.5% and root mean square error of calibration (RMSECV/RMSEC) of 1.31 for pH-differentiation reference and a RSDPLSR of 12.9% and RMSECV/RMSEC of 1.28 for the HPLC reference method. In this study, we confirm that it is possible to perform a NIR screening for TAC in whole elderberries. Using quantum chemical calculations, we obtained detailed NIR band assignments of the analyzed compounds and interpreted the wavenumber regions established in PLSR models as meaningful for anthocyanin content. The NIR measurement turned out to be a fast and cost-efficient alternative for the determination of TAC compared to pH-differential method and UHPLC-MWD-UHR-Q-TOF-MS. Due to the benefit of no sample preparation and extraction the technology can be considered as sustainable green technology. With the above mentioned inversely proportional ratio of TAC to total amount of toxic cyanogenic glycosides, NIR proves to be a reliable screening method for the ideal harvest time with maximal content of TAC and lowest content of cyanogenic glycosides in elderberry.

Problem: Kavuni is a traditional black rice variety of Tamil Nadu, India it rich in nutritional and therapeutic properties.  These traits it is not being cultivated widely, due to long duration, poor tillering and low yielding agronomic characters. Objectives: In the  study, twenty three breeding rice lines from the cross between black kavuni and Co 50  were investigated for colour values and phytochemical viz., total phenols content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC) and total anthocyanin content (TAC). Methods: Twenty five rice samples were grouped as black and white rice based on colour of aleuronic layer by visual inspection. The color values expressed as L* (lightness), a* (redness), b* (yellowness), H° (hue) and C (chroma). TPC by the Folin–Ciocalteu method and expressed as milligram of gallic acid equivalent (mg GAE/g) per g. TFC by aluminum chloride method and expressed as mg catechin equivalent (mg CATE) per 100 g. TAC was measured by pH differential method, expressed as mg cyaniding 3-glucoside per 100 g (c3-glucoside/100 g). Main results: The black phenotype rice had low value in L*, b*, C, H° and high values in a* than the white color rice. In the black rice group, 145-6 breeding line had darker black aleuronic layer than other black rice. The TPC, TFC and TAC ranged between 0.74 -3.24 mg GAE/g, 12.79 – 82.58 mg CATE/100 g and 0.4-223.76 mg c3-glucoside/100 g, respectively.  High level of TPC, TFC and TAC were recorded in black phenotypic rice, where as lower levels in white rice. The maximum amount of TPC and TAC were observed in 145-6 rice line, which on par with parent black kavuni rice.  The maximum level TFC was observed in 144-2 rice line than the parent rice kavuni. The TPC, TFC and TAC were negatively correlated with L*, b*, C and H° values and positively correlated with a* values at 0.01 probability level. Among the 23 rice lines, based on TPC, TAC and TFC the superior breeding rice lines were 145-6 and 144-2 respectively. The results showed that dark black grain has higher phytochemicals than white grain. Main recommendation:  The results indicate provide the opportunities to further increase the nutritional benefits of some food products from black rice in terms of therapeutic properties.

The objectives of this study were to determine the solution that could extract highest anthocyanin from banana bract, to determine the concentration of banana bract extract in jelly which preferred best by panelists, to determine color degradation rate in jelly colored with banana bract against light on various light intensity, and to determine the maximum light intensity which could be accepted by the panelists based on the hedonic test. Anthocyanin of banana bract was extracted by tartaric acid, citric acid, and acetate acid. Anthocyanin content of banana bract was measured by pH differential method. For the hedonic test, jelly with concentration of banana bract 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40% and 50%, were used with 20 panelists. Then jelly with 25% concentration of banana bract was used for determination of color degradation rate caused by light with the intensity of 780, 1,850, 2,214 dan 10,340 lux. The results showed thatthe best solution that extracted highest anthocyanin was tartaric acid, the concentration of banana bract extract in jelly that preferred best by panelists was 25%, the color degradation rate was increased along with the increasing of light intensity, with the k value 0.0042 – 0.0096 AU/hour. After 10 hours under light with intensity of 780-2,214 lux, the jelly colored with 25 % of banana bract extract was still could be accepted by panelists, whereas under light intensity of 10,340 lux could not be accepted by panelists.Keywords: Anthocyanin, banana bract, jelly, light intensity, color degradation rate ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan larutan pengekstrak jantung pisang kepok yang menghasilkan antosianin tertinggi, menentukan konsentrasi ekstrak jantung pisang kepok dalam agar-agar yang paling disukai panelis, menentukan laju degradasi warna agar-agar dengan pewarna jantung pisang kepok akibat penyinaran pada berbagaiintensitas cahaya, dan menentukan intensitas cahaya maksimum yang masih dapat diterima oleh panelis berdasarkan uji hedonik setelah penyinaran.
