Blackcurrant ( L.) is a berry bush widely cultivated in Europe for producing juices, jams, jellies, and syrups. In addition to berries, blackcurrant leaves and pomace, as byproducts, have also been shown to have health-promoting effects. Static digestion, simulating oral, gastric, and small intestinal digestion, was applied, and blackcurrant leaves, fruits, and pomace and the polyphenol bioaccessibility were evaluated in terms of recovery index. The results were related to sample type, and the recovery index presented higher values in the case of fruits, indicating this morphological part of blackcurrant as the most bioaccessible. The antioxidant potential of blackcurrant was evaluated using four different methods, with the leaves proving to be a significant and powerful antioxidant compared to fruits and pomace. The counteracting potential of inhibiting the oxidation process was evaluated using in vitro-induced lipid peroxidation and the inhibition potential of superoxide and hydroxyl anions. The antioxidant evaluation and the inhibition of biological and non-biological radicals indicate the leaf extract is the most powerful antioxidant studied. Also, the results proved that not only fruits but also the blackcurrant byproducts (pomace and leaves) are promising sources of bioaccessible antioxidants with potential benefits in animal nutrition.
黑加仑(学名:Ribes nigrum L.)是一种浆果灌木,在欧洲广泛种植,用于生产果汁、果酱、果冻和糖浆。除了浆果,黑加仑叶和果渣作为副产品,也已被证明具有促进健康的作用。采用模拟口腔、胃和小肠消化的静态消化法,从回收率指标方面评估了黑加仑叶、果实、果渣及其中多酚的生物可及性。结果与样品类型有关,果实的回收率指标值更高,表明黑加仑的这一形态部分生物可及性最高。采用四种不同方法评估了黑加仑的抗氧化潜力,结果表明与果实和果渣相比,叶片是一种显著且强大的抗氧化剂。利用体外诱导的脂质过氧化以及超氧阴离子和羟自由基的抑制潜力评估了抑制氧化过程的对抗潜力。抗氧化评估以及对生物和非生物自由基的抑制表明,叶提取物是所研究的最强大的抗氧化剂。此外,结果证明,不仅果实,而且黑加仑副产品(果渣和叶片)都是生物可及抗氧化剂的潜在来源,在动物营养方面具有潜在益处。
