STUDIES REGARDING BIOACTIVE FINGERPRINT OF CAULIFLOWER VERSUS BROCCOLI
Abstract
This study aims to determine the specific fingerprints of cauliflower and broccoli available on the Romanian market based on mathematical models and chemical analysis (moisture content, minerals content, total antioxidant capacity and total polyphenols content). These vegetables (cauliflower and broccoli) are considered essential for the human diet due to their bioactive content and nutritional value. The content of minerals and antioxidant compounds varies depending on their varieties, environmental conditions, ripening stage, collecting and storage methods. The studied vegetables are high in essential micronutrients copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), nutrients which are associated with enzymatic activities. Research shows that eating cruciferous vegetables brings many health benefits due to their active sulfur and nitrogen-containing compounds. The obtained results were compared to literature and database data and the graphical fingerprint were created. The generalized linear model was applied for analyzed vegetables, cauliflower and broccoli samples and the correspondence equation were obtained. The Mantel correlogram was used to test the hypothesis that innovative food products and or diets can be created based on the nutritional content of the vegetables and the nutritional needs of the consumer.
