Antioxidant capacity and functionality of oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.) flour and crust in a new kind of fruity ice cream

Abstract

In this study, the influence of milled crust and flour from oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.) separately added at different levels (1%, 2% and 3%) on the physical, chemical, sensory, colour properties and antioxidant properties of ice creams were investigated. The increment of crust and flour level caused an increase of dry matter, acidity, viscosity, first dripping, complete melting and vitamin C content. Flour increased overrun values in ice cream. Our results indicated that lyophilised oleaster extracts contain remarkable phenolic compounds. It was observed that lyophilised oleaster extracts exhibited a moderate in vitro antioxidant capacity. The addition of oleaster flour and crust positively affected sensory properties. The sensory results showed that ice cream containing 2% oleaster flour was the highest scored by the panellists. Oleaster flour and crust increased the sweetness of ice cream samples. These results showed that considerable nutritive and functional improvement could be attained by the addition of oleaster flour to ice cream formulation so that it could be used as natural antioxidants in ice cream as a source of flavour with complacency.

Quercetin protects rat skeletal muscle from ischemia reperfusion injury

“…The effect of oxidants can be deactivated or inhibited in various ways by antioxidant compounds, scavenging and suppressing the free radicals [13][14][15][16] . Recently, natural antioxidants attracted more attention because they are accepted to function as chemopreventive and cytoprotective agents against oxidative damage [17][18][19][20] . Human body can be protected against free radicals and reactive oxygen species effect by antioxidants, moreover, antioxidants have a large biological activities spectrum [21][22][23] .…”

Antioxidant, antiradical, and anticholinergic properties of cynarin purified from the Illyrian thistle (Onopordum illyricum L.)

“…DPPH test is generally used as the substrate to gauge free radical scavenging effectiveness of antioxidants 47 . This methodology is based on the reduction of a DPPH solution in alcohol in the source of a hydrogen donating antioxidant, owing to the formation of non-radical form DPPH-H by the reaction 48,49 .…”
