Pineapple residue flour: characterization and evaluation of in vitro bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds
摘要
The present study aimed to characterization and evaluation of in vitro bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds in pineapple residue flours. The crown flour had a high content of protein (7.03 ± 0.25%), and the flours from the peel and residue presented lipid content of 0.70 ± 0.01%. The industrial waste flour had a higher content of phenolic compounds (1055.56 ± 27.11 mg of gallic acid/100 g dry weight) and flavonoid (809 ± 53 mg of quercetin/100 g dry weight). The peel flour showed higher yields of antioxidant capacity (38.7 ± 2.5 µmol of Trolox equivalent/g dry weight). Phenolics showed a high percentage of bioaccessibility (71.8% for peel flour to 89.7% for pulp pomace flour), and bioaccessibility for flavonoids varied from 38.1% for pulp pomace flour to 51.0–55.2% for peel, crown and industrial waste flours. Data indicate that pineapple residue flours are important natural sources of nutritional and bioactive compounds, which present promising potential applications in food/nutraceutical industries.
