This study aimed to evaluate the effects of microwave (MW) treatment on polyphenol forms in safflower seeds and polyphenol compositions in safflower seed oil (SSO) extracted using pressing and subcritical dimethylether extraction (SDE) methods. Results revealed that polyphenols in safflower seeds were predominantly present in free forms (89.51 %), followed by insoluble- (6.19 %) and soluble-bound (4.30 %) forms. MW treatment resulted in a significant increase in the content of free-form phenolics and total phenolic content (TPC). In the untreated and MW-treated samples, 58 phenolics were identified, with45 polyphenols detected in both types of samples. After the MW treatment, N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin content increased but N-feruloyl serotonin content decreased in safflower seeds. MW treatment significantly increased the acacetin content, TPC, and oxidative stability of SSO. Additionally, the combined effect of MW treatment and SDE significantly improved polyphenol content in SSO, addressing the issue of poor oxidative stability that limits its applications.

Uncovering phenolic profiles of different forms in safflower seeds and their antioxidant capacity, and biological activity.

J Food Sci

College of Food Science and Engineering & Institute of Special Oilseed Processing and Technology, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou, China.

In this study, free, soluble bound (glycosylated, esterified), and insoluble-bound phenolic compounds from safflower seeds were identified and quantified by UPLC-MS/MS. The four phenolic fractions were assessed for their antioxidant capacity and inhibition of α-amylase and tyrosinase. In four phenolic fractions, 55 phenolic compounds, mainly flavonoids (19) and phenolic acids (16), were identified.

This study explores the development of diversified legume-oilseed cropping systems aimed at enhancing yield and water-use efficiency in rainfed areas of semi-arid tropics. Dryland agriculture, often limited by mono-cropping practices and erratic rainfall, necessitates innovative approaches for crop intensification and sustainability for the future. The integration of legumes and oilseeds into double cropping systems offers a viable solution for optimizing land use and improving productivity under precipitation-limited conditions.

Department of Food Technology and Assessment, Institute of Food Sciences, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Str. Nowoursynowska 159C, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland.

Article Synopsis
  • Oil cakes, a byproduct of oilseed processing, have high fat and protein content, making them valuable in animal feed and biotechnological applications.
  • The article explores using five types of oil cakes to produce GDDL, a cyclic ester with a creamy-peach aroma, focusing on rapeseed cake due to its high oleic acid content.
  • The biotransformation process involves three steps and successfully produces about 1.7 g of GDDL/dm, demonstrating the potential for waste valorization and supporting circular economy practices in food processing.
