The aim of this study was to determine the profile and contents of carotenoids, tocols and B1 and B2 vitamins in different parts of two wild edible plants (WEPs), and . Results showed interesting amounts of these bioactive compounds in the leaves, with intakes higher than the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamin A and vitamin E after consumption of 100 g. and leaves evidenced high amounts of carotenoids, such as lutein (about 8 mg/100 g and 5 mg, respectively) and β-carotene (about 8 mg/100 g and 4 mg/100 g, respectively). Even when not present at high amounts, the investigated plants can also contribute to the daily intake of thiamine and riboflavin. The rich profile and high contents of bioactive compounds in these WEPs clearly justify their potential use as food ingredients in a healthy and sustainable modern cuisine and in the development of new functional foods.
本研究旨在确定两种野生食用植物(WEP)不同部位的类胡萝卜素、生育酚和 B1、B2 维生素的特征和含量。结果表明,食用 100 克后,这些植物的叶片中含有大量具有生物活性的化合物,摄入的维生素 A 和维生素 E 达到了每日推荐摄入量(RDA)以上。和 的叶片含有大量的类胡萝卜素,如叶黄素(分别约为 8 毫克/100 克和 5 毫克)和β-胡萝卜素(分别约为 8 毫克/100 克和 4 毫克/100 克)。即使含量不高,这些被调查的植物也可以为人体提供每日所需的硫胺素和核黄素。这些 WEP 中丰富的生物活性化合物特征和高含量,明确证明了它们具有作为健康可持续现代烹饪中的食品成分以及开发新型功能性食品的潜力。
