Published: September 2011

The effect of storage on the total polyphenol content and individual phenolic compounds as well as on the hydrophilic antioxidant capacity of ketchups and tomato juices was studied. The total polyphenol content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay, and the antioxidant capacity of the hydrophilic fraction was determined using DPPH and ABTS(+) assays. Individual polyphenols were identified and quantified using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry on a triple quadrupole. All analyses were carried out for ketchups and tomato juices after storage for 3, 6, and 9 months. The total polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity of the hydrophilic fraction decreased during storage of ketchups and tomato juices. Ketchups, in general, showed a slightly greater stability during storage than tomato juices. The most significant decrease was observed for quercetin followed by caffeic and ferulic acids, whereas glycosilated polyphenols showed greater stability during storage.

Background/objectives: This study explores the significance of beetroot and tomato juices, two prominent health-promoting foods known for their rich nutrient content and bioactive compounds. The growing consumer awareness of the link between diet and well-being emphasizes the need for food producers to align their products with health-conscious preferences. The aim of this research was to assess the composition, color, and sensory attributes-specifically color, taste, and odor-of various commercially available beetroot and tomato juices and to evaluate their acceptability among consumers.

Article Synopsis
  • * Key volatile compounds, including isobutyric acid and isovaleric acid, produced by various ACB species during spoilage, contribute to unpleasant odors in fruit juices, which negatively affect product quality.
  • * The study indicates that ACB species previously deemed non-spoilage threats may actually pose risks to the juice, beverage, and dairy sectors, suggesting a need to update current identification methods for ACB control.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how different types and frequencies of beverage consumption relate to erectile dysfunction (ED) in American men, using data from the NHANES 2003-2004.
  • The results showed that men who consume grape juice regularly (5 or more times a week) had a significantly lower likelihood of experiencing ED, especially in those over 40 years old.
  • While grape juice was the most notable beverage linked to reduced ED prevalence, other beverages like tomato, orange, and soft drinks also showed initial correlations with ED.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how different types of fruit and vegetable consumption affect frailty in a large U.S. population, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005-2020.
  • Researchers used dietary recalls to measure fruit and vegetable intake and assessed frailty using a frailty index, employing various statistical methods to analyze the results.
  • Findings indicate that higher daily intakes of specific fruits (especially citrus, melons, and berries) and dark green vegetables are associated with a lower risk of frailty, with notable effects observed in individuals under 60 years and females.
