Cabbage head is one of the main essential vegetables grown worldwide and contains high antioxidants compounds that fight the inflammation of many diseases. In this study, antioxidant activities and several characteristics of four different cabbage heads (Red, Savoy, Green and Napa) have been investigated.
Characteristics included: Head dimensions, sphericity, aspect ratio, mass, moisture content, project and surface areas. The (static and dynamic) frictions were detected on different surfaces.
Napa cultivar had the highest TEAC assay (5.69 μmol TE g-1 fw). Green head had the highest DPPH assay (91.22 μmol TE g-1 fw), while the red head had the highest FRAP assay (79.77 μmol TE g-1 fw). The highest moisture content was in the Napa heads (94.91%). Savoy heads recorded the highest width, thickness, aspect ratio, mass and sphericity. The highest static and dynamic frictions were found on galvanic iron (0.29-0.51) and stainless steel (0.36-0.66), respectively.
The measured data will be used in the cabbage horticultural processing for quality improvement and diet planers due to the high antioxidant activities.
白菜头是全球主要的基本蔬菜之一，富含高抗氧化化合物，可对抗多种疾病的炎症。本研究旨在调查四种不同白菜头（红、皱叶、绿和紫甘蓝）的抗氧化活性和若干特性。
特性包括：头部尺寸、球形度、纵横比、质量、水分含量、投影面积和表面积。检测了不同表面的（静态和动态）摩擦。
紫甘蓝品种的 TEAC 测定值（5.69 μmol TE g-1 fw）最高。绿头的 DPPH 测定值（91.22 μmol TE g-1 fw）最高，而红头的 FRAP 测定值（79.77 μmol TE g-1 fw）最高。水分含量最高的是紫甘蓝（94.91%）。皱叶的宽度、厚度、纵横比、质量和球形度最高。在镀锌铁（0.29-0.51）和不锈钢（0.36-0.66）上分别发现了最高的静态和动态摩擦。
由于具有高抗氧化活性，所测数据将用于白菜园艺加工以提高品质和饮食计划。
