Phytochemical profiling of different genotypes of strawberries Sara Tulipani, Marche Polytechnic University Ancona, Italy
Material: List of cultivars STORAGE Short refrigeration (3 days at 4°C + 1 day at RT)
PhD Project NUTRITIONAL QUALITY of STRAWBERRY fruits: From the characteristics of the FRUIT to the effects on HUMAN BODY • Phytochemical and antioxidant profiling of the fruits • Studies on Bioavailability • Studies on Bioefficacy
PhD Project • Phytochemical and antioxidant profiling of the fruits STSM • Studies on Bioavailability • Studies on Bioefficacy
Before the STSM........ • Already available informations: • Total antioxidant capacity and vitamin C contribution • Data about total anthocyanins, total phenolics, total folate content • Preliminary studies on human volunteers
STSM at PRI Institute • Moisture Content (Oven method) • Vit C content (HPLC) • Phytochemical & Antioxidant profile (HPLC coupled to online antioxidant analysis) • Additional analysis • Technical explorations
1. Moisture level (Oven method) • Range from 87.4% to 94.2%
2. Vitamin C content (HPLC) Genotype-to-genotype differences
2. Vitamin C content (HPLC) Effect of storage
3. HPLC coupled to on-line antioxidant analysis Koleva I I et al. Anal Chemistry 2001, 73, 3373-3381

3. Phenolic composition by HPLC-PDA • 254 nm: ellagic acid derivatives • 280 nm: phenolic acids • 312 nm: phenolic acids (p-coumaric acid derivatives) • 360 nm: flavonols • 512 nm: anthocyanins
Genotype-to-genotype differences RT = 13.8 p-coumaric acid glucoside RT = 14.7 p-coumaric acid glycoside M D B
Genotype-to-genotype differences Pg-glucoside Cy-glucoside A Pg-rutinoside Pg-malonyl glucoside G B
HPLC On-line antioxidant analysis Pg-glucoside: 25 to 40% of the total antioxidant contribution (excluding vitamin C)
Phytochemical composition and antioxidant contributions Effect of storage • No common trends on the variation of compounds in all clones • (No relevant effects, increase, decrease of single classes of compounds)
Conclusions 9 strawberry genotypes: • Dry matter content variation • 2-fold differences on the vitamin C content • Variability on the phenolic composition on a qualitative and quantitative basis • Anthocyanins: the main contribution to TAC (vitamin C excluded) • Others polyphenols: variation on the relative antioxidant contribution
