    Antioxidant activity, some nutritional and colour properties of vacuum dried strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) fruit
    (2011) Orak, H. Hülya; Aktas, Türkan; Yagar, Hülya; Isbilir, S. Selen; Ekinci, Neslihan; Sahin, Fusun H.
    Background: The strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) fruit contains a higher amount of nutrients and bioactive compounds than many other cultivated species, however, the edible use of this fruit is currently not widespread. In this study, the influences of vacuum drying have been investigated in terms of changing of some nutritional characteristics, antioxidant properties, and colour. Material and methods: Fruits were collected from Çanakkale province in Turkey and next vacuum dried. Ethyl oleate and water blanching pre-treatments were applied to fruits before drying. Ascorbic acid, reducing sugar, minerals, colour, total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ?-carotene bleaching activity and HMF formation were determined. Results: The EO pretreatment shortened the drying time more than WB and gives a higher ?-carotene bleaching activity, lower HMF and higher yellowness and brightness of external colour characteristics. Conclusions: In this research, the effects of vacuum drying process on the colour, antioxidant activity and nutritional characteristics of fruit have been determined and it has been concluded that the strawberry tree fruit is assessable in food industry by drying due to rich nutritional components, antioxidant activity and attractive colour of the fruit. © Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Poznaniu.

    ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY, SOME NUTRITIONAL AND COLOUR PROPERTIES OF VACUUM DRIED STRAWBERRY TREE (ARBUTUS UNEDO L.) FRUITE

    Background. The strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) fruit contains a higher amount of nutrients and bioactive compounds than many other cultivated species, however, the edible use of this fruit is currently not widespread. In this study, the influences of vacuum drying have been investigated in terms of changing of some nutritional characteristics, antioxidant properties, and colour. Material and methods. Fruits were collected from Canakkale province in Turkey and next vacuum dried. Ethyl oleate and water blanching pre-treatments were applied to fruits before drying. Ascorbic acid, reducing sugar, minerals, colour, total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, beta-carotene bleaching activity and HMF formation were determined. Results. The EO pretreatment shortened the drying time more than WB and gives a higher beta-carotene bleaching activity, lower HMF and higher yellowness and brightness of external colour characteristics. Conclusions. In this research, the effects of vacuum drying process on the colour, antioxidant activity and nutritional characteristics of fruit have been determined and it has been concluded that the strawberry tree fruit is assessable in food industry by drying due to rich nutritional components, antioxidant activity and attractive colour of the fruit.

    Effects of hot air and freeze drying methods on antioxidant activity, colour and some nutritional characteristics of strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L) fruit
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2012) Orak, H. H.; Aktas, T.; Yagar, H.; Isbilir, S. Selen; Ekinci, N.; Sahin, F. Hasturk
    Antioxidant activity, colour and some nutritional properties of hot air and freeze-dried strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) fruits were investigated. Additionally, the effects of two pre-treatments, namely ethyl oleate and water blanching, were compared in terms of drying characteristics. For determination of antioxidant activities in ethanol extracts, two different analytical methods were used: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity and beta-carotene bleaching activity. As a result, the ethyl oleate pre-treatment shortened the drying time by hot air method and gave a higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity (82.16 +/- 0.34%), total phenolic content (7.62 +/- 1.09 mu g GAE/g extract), ascorbic acid content (236.93 +/- 20.14 mg/100 g), besides hydromethylfurfural was not observed. Freeze- dried fruits exhibited higher ascorbic acid content (368.63 +/- 17.16 mg/100 g) than those fresh fruits (231.33 +/- 19.51 mg/100 g) and nearly 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl activity (93.52 +/- 0.41 %) to fresh fruits (94.03 +/- 1.18%). Colour characteristics, sugar content and mineral contents of fruits were significantly affected by pre-treatments and drying methods (p < 0.05). It is concluded that the drying of strawberry tree fruits should bring a valuable and attractive foodstuff to food industry due to the rich nutritional components, antioxidant activity and colour. Another conclusion from this study is that the freeze-drying is the best drying method to keep the nutritional value, antioxidant activity and sensory properties of fruits.
