Unconventional edible plants (UEP) are potential supplementary sources of minerals and bioactive compounds. However, there is still a gap in the literature on UEP composition. In this study, the multielement/proximate composition of ten UEP from Brazil was evaluated by ICP OES. Furthermore, phenolic bioactives were quantified by HPLC-UV-DAD. The UEP showed high moisture content (84.85-95.27%) and elements (in mg Kg): Al (122-657), Ca (145-14,229), Cu (8.3-18.81), Fe (177-586), K (12.46-34.50%), Mg (157-1,552), Mn (16.85-84.96), Na (1,107-23,775), P (2,535-6,127), Si (189-1,695), Sr (25.56-104.63) and Zn (0.3-72.31). Nine phenolic bioactive compounds (1-2,147) and three flavonoids (1-2,042 mg Kg) were determined. PCA and HCA grouped samples (Java ginseng, Coriander, Spearmint and Indian borage) rich in minerals. Spearmint showed high levels of transcinamic acid, kaempferol and quercetin. This study contributes to the scientific development and use of UEP.
非常规食用植物 (UEP) 是矿物质和生物活性化合物的潜在补充来源。然而,关于 UEP 成分的文献仍然存在差距。在这项研究中,通过 ICP-OES 评估了来自巴西的十种 UEP 的多元素/近似成分。此外,通过 HPLC-UV-DAD 定量了酚类生物活性物质。UEP 表现出高水分含量(84.85-95.27%)和元素含量(mg/kg):Al(122-657)、Ca(145-14,229)、Cu(8.3-18.81)、Fe(177-586)、K(12.46-34.50%)、Mg(157-1,552)、Mn(16.85-84.96)、Na(1,107-23,775)、P(2,535-6,127)、Si(189-1,695)、Sr(25.56-104.63)和 Zn(0.3-72.31)。确定了 9 种酚类生物活性化合物(1-2,147)和 3 种类黄酮(1-2,042 mg/kg)。PCA 和 HCA 将富含矿物质的样品(爪哇人参、芫荽、薄荷和印度琉璃苣)进行了分组。薄荷中含有高水平的反式肉桂酸、山奈酚和槲皮素。本研究为 UEP 的科学开发和利用做出了贡献。
