Spirulina is a popular food supplement known for its high antioxidant activity. Several studies have shown that antioxidant activity fluctuates depending on the combination of ingredients in the food. Fresh spirulina is a growing market trend; however, pure spirulina short shelf life is a strong limitation. This study aims to investigate antioxidant activity of various novel commercial fresh spirulina-containing products and the factors affecting it. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of each ingredient and binary combinations of spirulina and apple juices, Japanese quince syrup, or cranberry syrup were measured. Synergic, antagonistic, and additive interactions between samples were determined and expressed using the synergy coefficient. FRAP assay showed apparent synergism of spirulina and all the studied ingredients whereas ABTS and Folin-Ciocalteu methods revealed an antagonistic interaction between spirulina and apple juice. Despite the antagonistic interactions, all the products demonstrated at least the same antioxidant activity as pure fresh spirulina and had longer shelf life than, pointing to their commercial potential.
螺旋藻是一种颇受欢迎的食品补充剂,以其高抗氧化活性而闻名。多项研究表明,抗氧化活性会根据食物中成分的组合而波动。新鲜螺旋藻是一个不断增长的市场趋势;然而,纯螺旋藻的短保质期是一个很大的限制。本研究旨在调查各种新型商业新鲜螺旋藻产品的抗氧化活性及其影响因素。测量了每种成分以及螺旋藻和苹果汁、日本榅桲汁或蔓越莓汁的二元组合的抗氧化活性和总酚含量。使用协同系数确定了样品之间的协同、拮抗和相加相互作用。FRAP 测定表明,螺旋藻与所有研究成分表现出明显的协同作用,而 ABTS 和 Folin-Ciocalteu 方法则表明螺旋藻与苹果汁之间存在拮抗相互作用。尽管存在拮抗作用,但所有产品都表现出至少与纯新鲜螺旋藻相同的抗氧化活性,并且保质期比螺旋藻长,这表明它们具有商业潜力。
