Hybrid drying was proposed as a novel approach in blueberry drying. Ultrasound application as a part of abovementioned drying technique is considered an efficient way of shortening drying time due to mass transfer intensification and the interaction with dehydrated tissue. However, no experiments studying the impact of ultrasound on various cultivars within one species were carried out. This study contributes to the understanding that appropriate cultivar selection in the production of ready-to-eat dried blueberry fruit is just as important as process parameters in obtaining an attractive product with a high level of natural bioactive compounds.

“…Blueberries are a rich source of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds, and they possess great health‐promoting functions, such as anticancer properties, neuroprotective effects, alleviation of high blood pressure and antioxidant abilities (Wang et al ., ; Casati et al ., ; Caspersen et al ., ; Silva et al ., ). Anthocyanins, especially in glycosylated form, are among the major compounds in blueberry (Wang et al ., ). Pitija et al .…”

Summary In this study, the antioxidant activities of blueberry anthocyanin extracts from ten blueberry varieties were evaluated based on the methods of scavenging activities for DPPH radicals, ABTS radicals, hydroxyl radicals and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Among the ten blueberry varieties, Polaris had the highest antioxidant abilities and the largest amounts of anthocyanins identified by HPLC‐MS. The protective effects of anthocyanin extracts from Polaris (AEP) against acrylamide (AA)‐induced toxicity in HepG2 cell models were also evaluated due to the neurotoxic, genotoxic and potentially carcinogenic effects of AA. The protective effects of AEP on the damage of HepG2 cells were explored from the aspects of cell viability, T‐SOD and CAT activity and MDA level. The AEP (5, 10, 20 μg mL−1) could significantly increase cell viability (P < 0.01) and inhibit AA‐induced cytotoxicity. Polaris also markedly promoted the activity of SOD, CAT and inhibited MDA level. The results showed that AEP had strong antioxidant activities, presenting high protective effects against AA‐induced cell damage in HepG2 cell models.

“…Shuizhang, Yingchike, and Cihezhong had lower CAA values than any other cultivars. The CAA assay has now been widely used in a great number of studies to estimate the antioxidants of fruits, [26] vegetables, [27] grains, [28] and medicinal plants. [29] However, to our knowledge, this study firstly reported the CAA activity of longan pulp.…”

The phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of fruits are associated with their health benefits. Longan is a traditional Chinese edible and medicinal fruit, but its varietal differences in phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activity were unknown. Twenty-four longan cultivars from southern China were investigated in this study. Their total phenolic and flavonoid contents in pulp were 22.09-132.47 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g and 2.48-14.26 mg catechin equivalents/100 g, respectively. The mean contributions of free phenolics and flavonoids to the total were 82.5% and 94.0%, respectively. Among 10 individual phenolics detected by HPLC, the contents of epicatechin, 4-methylcatechol, chlorogenic, and vanillic acids were relatively higher. The cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) of longan pulp showed significant varietal discrepancies and positive correlation with phenolic and flavonoid contents. Phenolics in longan pulp of 24 cultivars showed lower CAA potential than many other fruits with the CAA qualities from 0.35 to 1.21 µmol quercetin equivalent/100 µmol total phenolics. Longan cultivars were classified into six groups by hierarchical clustering analysis. Six cultivars in group 4 and 6 had higher phytochemical contents and CAA activity. ARTICLE HISTORY
