Improving bioactive compounds extractability of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson
چکیده انگلیسی


• Elephant foot yam was analyzed raw and processed (lyophilized and boiled).
• Phenolics contents were higher in hydroalcoholic extracts of lyophilized samples.
• Ethanolic extracts of lyophilized samples were richer in flavonoids.
• Ferric reducing power was higher in hydroalcoholic extracts of lyophilized yam.
• Anti-radical activity was higher in ethanolic extracts of lyophilized samples.

Elephant foot yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson) is an underground, unbranched deciduous plant that produces a large tubercle (rhizome) with recognized health effects. In this study, the influence of solvent nature (water, water/etanol (1:1) and absolute ethanol) and processing type (fresh, lyophilized and boiled) on the antioxidant activity and bioactive compounds extractability of elephant foot yam was evaluated. Extracts were compared for their contents in total phenolics, flavonoids and tannins. Moreover, their antioxidant capacity was assessed by the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging capacity assays. Phenolics (154 mg GAE/L) and tannins (109 mg GAE/L) were maximized in lyophilized samples extracted with the hydroalcoholic solvent, which attained also the highest FRAP value (711 mg FSE/L). In turn, flavonoids reached the highest yields in lyophilized samples (95 mg ECE/L) extracted with pure ethanol, as well as the highest DPPH scavenging activity. These findings might have practical applications to define the best processing methodology regarding the enhancement of elephant foot yam, either for prompt consumption, as well as to develop food supplements or pharmaceutical related products.
