    Jabuticaba peel presents a high content of bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, normally considered as a food residue. Nowadays, there is a great interesting in the recovery of bioactive compounds from food residue due to health benefits of the ingredients produced, environmental issues and economic aspects. For the success of phenolic compounds extraction, the solvent and pH influence recovery of these compounds. However, studies that evaluate the use of different weak acids bioactive compounds recovery are scarce. Thus, the aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of formic, acetic, and phosphoric acids addition in the extraction solvent, to adjust the pH to 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, in bioactive compounds recovery and antioxidant capacity of jabuticaba peel. The extracts were analyzed as antioxidant capacity (ORAC, FRAP), total phenols content monomeric anthocyanin's and a qualitative analysis of phenolics by Liquid Chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The kind of acid used in the extraction process affected mainly in the extraction of anthocyanins. The acid that presented a better recovery of anthocyanin (3.4 mg/g raw material) and a better antioxidant capacity (ORAC) (841 mu mol TE/g raw material) was formic acid in pH 1.01241626CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPES301108/2016-1não tem2017/04231-8; 2015/50333-112th Latin American symposium on food science (SLACA) : food science and its impact on a changing worl

    The use of oak chips is an alternative method to the traditional barrels in winemaking in order to improve the aged quality of the red wines. This study investigated the influence of adding of oak chips during the fermentation process on phenolic compounds profile and antioxidant activity. The American (Quercus alba) and/or French (Quercus petreae) oak chips were added (4 g L?1 doses) in the alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation or malolactic fermentation alone. Results indicated that Syrah tropical wines presented higher levels (?265 mg L?1) of phenolic compounds compared to wines fermented with oak chips (223?254 mg L?1). Twenty-five phenolics were identified among the wine samples, with gallic (70.67 mg L?1) and malvidin-3-O-glucoside (68.30 mg L?1) as the main compounds. However, the wine with French oak chip added during malolactic fermentation showed a higher antioxidant activity, when using ORAC assay. This study offers a practical application of oak chips in winemaking process as an alternative to produce high quality young red wines with low cost to the wineries in places of oak barrels

    Jaboticaba, a polyphenol-rich fruit, has numerous nutraceutical properties. Studies on jaboticaba composition have focused on solvent-extractable polyphenol compounds, whereas the matrix-bound polyphenols that can be delivered during digestion have been neglected. This study aimed to characterize the polyphenol profiling of matrix-bound and free phenolic compounds in Jaboticaba peel powder (JPP) using two fruit species, Myrciaria jaboticaba (JPP-MJ) and M. truncifiora (JPP-MT). An HPLC-DAD-MS/MS method was developed and validated to analyze JPP polyphenols. The total content of free phenolic compounds was 2.4 times higher in JPP-MT than in JPP-MJ and the profile of free polyphenols differed between the two species. JPP-MT had 60.3% tannins and 33% anthocyanins, whereas JPP-MJ had 34.7% and 50.7%, respectively. The content of matrix-bound phenolic compounds was higher in JPP-MJ than in JPP-MT (15.3% vs. 4.3% of total phenolic compounds). Besides cyanidin 3-glucoside, three other compounds were identified as major: a tetragalloylglucose isomer for both species, trigalloylglucose for JPP-MT, and delphinidin-3-glucoside for JPP-MT. Phenolic profiling of JPP revealed new compounds that may contribute to health benefits after JPP consumption. Despite differences in the phenolic profile between the jaboticaba species, both JPPs are rich sources of polyphenols and could be used for promoting health benefits785974CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPES552440/2011-6; 458664/2014-6; 301108/2016-1; 303654/2017-1PNPD20132615-42002010013P
