Because the use of drying at high temperatures might negatively affect the functional properties of fruits, the effect of air-drying at 60°C on the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AOC) of cape gooseberry fruit was evaluated at three ripeness stages. The AOC was evaluated with 2,2'-azino-bis(3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS ), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and b-carotene-linoleate assays. The TPC and AOC increased in the fresh fruit as the ripeness stage increased. The TPC increased from 401.8±19.8 to 569.3±22.3 mg GA E/100 g dry weight (DW). The AOC values obtained with ABTS in the fresh fruit (ranging from 79.4±4.5 to 132.7±12.9 mmol trolox/g fruit DW) were comparable to those obtained with FRAP (ranging from 82.9±16.3 to 153.9±31.7 mmol trolox/g fruit DW). The values assessed with DPPH ranged from 21.0±3.2 to 34.1±5.1 mmol trolox/g fruit DW. The b-carotene-linoleate assay gave values ranging from 5.8±1.1 to 12.7±2.0 mmol a-tocoferol/g fruit DW. Air-drying the cape gooseberry fruit had a small influence on the TPC. The air-dried fruit had AOC values ranging from 27 to 164% of the value of the fresh fruit. While the ABTS assay produced higher values in the air-dried fruit than in the fresh fruit, the FRAP, DPPH, and b-carotene-linoleate assays resulted in lower values in the air-dried fruit.
Debido a que el secado a altas temperaturas puede afectar negativamente las propiedades funcionales de las frutas, se evaluó el efecto del secado con aire a 60°C sobre el contenido total de fenoles (CTF) y la capacidad antioxidante (CAO) de frutos de uchuva en tres estados de madurez. CAO se evaluó por los métodos ácido 2,2'-azino-bis(3-etilbenzotiazolin-6-sulfonico) (ABTS), habilidad reductora de hierro en plasma (FRAP), 1,1-difenil-2-picrilhidrazil (DPPH) y b-caroteno-linoleato. En la fruta fresca los valores de CTF y CAO se incrementaron al aumentar el estado de madurez. CTF se incrementó desde 401,8±19,8 hasta 569,3±22,3 mg GA E/100 g peso seco, PS. Los valores de CAO obtenidos por ABTS en la fruta fresca (desde 79,4±4,5 hasta 132,7±12,9 mmol trolox/g fruta PS) fueron similares a los obtenidos por FRAP (desde 82,9±16,3 hasta 153,9±31,7 mmol trolox/g fruta PS). Los valores obtenidos por DPPH variaron entre 21,0±3,2 a 34,1±5,1 mmol trolox/g fruta PS. El ensayo de b-caroteno-linoleato arrojó valores entre 5,8±1,1 a 12,7±2,0 mmol a-tocoferol/g fruta PS. El secado con aire tuvo una influencia pequeña en los valores de CTF. La fruta seca tuvo valores de CAO que representaron entre 27 a 164% de los valores obtenidos en la fruta fresca, con valores mayores en la fruta seca que en la fresca para ABTS y valores menores para FRAP, DPPH y b-caroteno-linoleato.
