Wood apple (Limonia acidissima L.) is a fruit with a high nutrition content, which can protect the liver, resist pathogenic bacteria, heal wounds and prevent the development of tumors. Initial research was conducted to  find out the appropriate pretreatment and alcohol concentration for the end product. The results showed that fresh wood apples were sufficiently ripe 2-3 days after harvesting, which were then washed, dried, individual apples were quartered and soaked in a glass jar containing Xuan Thanh wine (alc/vol = 40%) for 3 months. Thereafter, the wine sample exhibited a 19.8% alcohol concentration, 12.1° Brix, and had a total phenolic  compound (TPC) of 2.016 mg GAE/L.

Chilling injury is the critical issue in sweet pepper fruit under low temperature storage. Present work was aimed to evaluate the effect of different concentration of methyl salicylate (MS) and L-arginine (Arg) on chilling injury and overall quality of sweet pepper fruits cv. ‘Winner’. The treatments were T1 = Control, T2 = 0.01mM MS, T3 = 0.05 mM MS, T4 = 1mM Arg, T5 = 1.5mM Arg and T6 = 0.01mM MS+1.5mM Arg. After respective treatment (for 10 min) fruits were kept at 5 ± 1 ◦C with 85-90 % RH for 28+2 days of storage. Physical, biochemical, and phytochemical parameters were studied at 7 days interval followed by two days of reconditioning at ambient conditions (25 ± 2 °C). On last removal (28+2days), sweet pepper fruits treated with combined MS and Arg treatment (T6) showed highly significant results in lower fruit weight loss (8.3%), maintained fruit colour (0.3 score) and firmness (13.4N), and reduced wrinkling (2 score), disease incidence (0.4 score), ion leakage (45.4%), alleviated chilling injury (1.7 score), retained total antioxidants (49.1%) and total phenolic content (74.4 mg 100 g-1 GAE FW) as compared to control. In addition, the ascorbic acid content was observed higher in all treatments in comparison with untreated control fruits. In conclusion, MS and Arg combine treatment improved storage potential with reduced chilling injury by maintaining higher total phenolic concentrations, ascorbic acid content and total antioxidants in terms of DPPH radical scavenging activities, and markedly maintained overall quality of sweet pepper under cold storage condition at 5 °C for 28 days.

The effect of basil leaf (BLE) and wheat bran (WBE) extracts (potent anti-browning agents), on the phenolic content, antioxidant potential, microbiological quality, and consumer quality of shredded lettuce during storage were studied. Treatment of lettuce with increasing concentrations of BLE proportionally increased the total phenolic content and antioxidant properties. Compared to the control, the treatment enhanced the antiradical properties. This was especially visible during the analysis of the chemical extracts, while this effect was not retained in the potentially bioaccessible fraction. In the lettuce stored for 8 days, the highest reducing potential and ability to quench radicals were observed in samples treated with 1% BLE—33 mg Trolox equivalent/g d.m. and 2.8 mg Trolox equivalent/g d.m., respectively. Compounds exhibiting antiradical properties were easily bioaccessible in vitro. There was no negative effect of the treatments on the consumer quality. Most importantly, after 8 days of storage, lettuce treated with the studied extract, except 10% WBE, had higher microbiological quality. After 8-day storage, the coliforms count was reduced by 84% and 88% in samples treated with 0.5% BLE and 10% WBE, respectively. In conclusion, treatments of shredded lettuce with BLE and WBE maintain or even improve its quality during storage.

Exposure of sunlight lead tropical Sargassum sp. to maintain their growth and moreover to bring up their secondary metabollite for life struggling. Sargassum sp. has bioactive compounds that has a potential antioxidant acitivity such as phenolic compounds as well as chlorophyll and carotenoids. This research was conducted to determine antioxidant activities, phenolic compound and pigmens of Sargassum sp. with different solvent that have different polarities. Sample was macerate with n-heksana, ethyl acetate, methanol and aquadest. All the parameters were done spectrophotometrically. IC50 was used to determine the antioxidant activity by antiradical scavenging activity using DPPH (515 nm). Total phenolic compound were tested by Folin-Ciocalteu solution  and used gallic acid as standard (725 nm). The chlorophylls a content were measured at wavelength 662 nm and 645 nm and carotenoids were measured at wavelength 470 nm. The results showed best IC50 is achieved by aquadest extract (72.95 ±0.22 ppm). The highest Total phenolic compound is achieved by ethyl acetat extract (120.29 ±0,404 mg GAE/g sample). The highest chlorophyll a content is achieved by ethyl acetat extract (18.23 ± 0,049 mg/g sample) and the highest carotenoid content is achieved by ethyl acetat extract extract (60.65 ±0,008  µmol/g sample). It can be concluded that aquadest extract can be categorized as the strong antioxidant and antiradical activity, ethyl acetat as a medium antioxidant activity. The simple and save methods of aquadest extract promising that Sargassum  sp. frorn Indonesia is a good candidate compoud for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical approach.

Functional foods are considered foods that have a beneficial impact when ingestion. The present work aims to prepare functional food in the form of pasta rich in antioxidants and protein by enrichment with different Spirulina levels (SP). To achieve this aim, acute and chronic toxicity of SP were evaluated in experimental animals. Antioxidant activity, total phenolic compound content, physicochemical, rheological, and sensorial parameters were evaluated in pasta samples. Volatile compounds were investigated in pasta samples using SPME-GC-MS. Spirulina indicated complete safety in acute and chronic toxicity studies. Protein content in pasta increased with the increment of SP. Rheological parameters, color, and cooking quality were increased following SP level while; dough stability was decreased. Sensory evaluation of pasta samples was acceptable up to 5% SP. Total phenolic compound content was increased in pasta with increasing S SP’s level and reaches its maximum value at level 10% SP (3.12 mg GAE/g). Antioxidant activity was reduced in cooked pasta compared to uncooked. Twenty-five volatile compounds were identified in fresh pasta samples (0 & 2.5% SP). Hexanal and 2-pentylfuran were the highest volatile compounds in pasta samples. Spirulina is completely safe and could be used in the preparation of functional foods. Spirulina-enriched pasta is a rich source of protein and antioxidants. The enrichment of pasta caused a reduction in sensory scores with an increase in the addition level. This reduction may be due to the low concentration of 2-pentylfuran and hexanal as flavor compounds.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oak chips-supplementations on phenolic compound profiles of grape vinegar samples. Total acidity, volatile acids, non-volatile acids, pH, dry extract, ash, color, alcohol, total phenolic compound, individual phenolic compounds and aroma compounds of un supplemented control (UC) samples and oak chips-supplemented (OCS) samples were analyzed at the 0th, 1st and 3rd months of ageing. Total phenolic compound of UC vinegar samples was measured as 1256.50 mg GAE/L at the end of the 3rd month. Total phenolic compound of OCS vinegar samples was measured as 1521.03 mg GAE/L at the end of the 1st month and as 1470.67 mg GAE/L at the end of the 3rd month. Gallic acid, catechin and vanillic acid contents of UC vinegar samples were respectively measured as 8.43 mg/L, 22.26 mg/L and 1.78 mg/L at the end of the 3rd month. Gallic acid, catechin and vanillic acid contents of OCS vinegar samples were respectively measured as 19.12 mg/L, 17.98 mg/L and 2.58 mg/L at the end of the 3rd month. The 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester and 9-octadecanoic acid methyl ester quantities increased at the end of the 3rd month with oak chips-supplementation to ageing process. It was observed that oak chips-supplementation increased total phenolic compound and some individual phenolics of grape vinegar samples.
