Nutritional and bioactive constituents and scavenging capacity of radicals in Amaranthus hypochondriacus
2020
Overview
A. hypochondriacus
leaves contained ample phytopigments including betalain, anthocyanin, β-xanthin, β-cyanin, and bioactive phytochemicals of interest in the industry of food. We have been evaluating the possibility of utilizing phytopigments of amaranth and bioactive constituents for making drinks. Therefore, we evaluated bioactive phytopigments and compounds including the potentiality of antioxidants in
A. hypochondriacus
leaves.
A. hypochondriacus
leaves have abundant protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. We found considerable levels of inorganic minerals including magnesium, calcium, potassium (3.88, 3.01, 8.56 mg g
−1
), zinc, manganese, copper, iron (16.23, 15.51, 2.26, 20.57 µg g
−1
), chlorophyll

(271.08, 905.21, 636.87 μg g

), scavenging capacity of radicals (DPPH, ABTS

) (33.46, 62.92 TEAC μg g

FW), β-xanthin, betalain, β-cyanin (584.71, 1,121.93, 537.21 ng g

), total flavonoids (170.97 RE μg g
−1
DW), vitamin C, β-carotene, carotenoids (184.77, 82.34, 105.08 mg 100 g
−1
) in
A. hypochondriacus
leaves. The genotypes AHC6, AHC4, AHC11, AHC5, and AHC10 had a good scavenging capacity of radicals. Polyphenols, phytopigments, flavonoids, and β-carotene of
A. hypochondriacus
had potential antioxidant activity. Extracted juice of
A. hypochondriacus
can be an ample source of phytopigments and compounds for detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attaining nutritional and antioxidant sufficiency.
