Characterisation of acylated anthocyanins from red cabbage, purple sweet potato, and Tradescantia pallida leaves as natural food colourants by HPLC-DAD-ESI(+)-QTOF-MS/MS and ESI(+)-MSn analysis
(2023)
Anthocyanins in red cabbage, sweet potato, and Tradescantia pallida leaves were characterised. A total of 18 non–, mono-, and diacylated cyanidins was identified in red cabbage by high performance liquid chromatography-diode ...
Phytochemical and mineral composition of fruits and seeds of wild-growing Bactris guineensis (L.) H.E. Moore palms from Costa Rica
(2020-12)
In the present study, nutritionally relevant constituents of wild-growing B. guineensis palm fruit from Costa Rica were assessed. In the edible exo- and mesocarp, 24 soluble free and six insoluble bound phenolic compounds ...
Functional properties of coffee and coffee by-products
(2012-05)
Coffee, one of the most popular beverages, is consumed by millions of people every day. Traditionally, coffee beneficial effects have been attributed solely to its most intriguing and investigated ingredient, caffeine, but ...
Vitamin E profiles in Acrocomia aculeata from three regions in Costa Rica
(2021)
Acrocomia aculeata is a promising crop for agroforestry systems in subtropical regions and investigated as an alternative to oil palm. Since significant regional differences in morphology and chemical composition have been ...
Characterization of Mesocarp and Kernel Lipids from Jacq., [Kunth] Cortés, and Their Interspecific Hybrids
(2017)
Morphological traits, total lipid contents, and fatty acid profiles were assessed in fruits of several accessions of Elaeis oleifera [Kunth] Cortes,́ Elaeis guineensis Jacq., and their interspecific hybrids. The latter ...
Effect of processing on biofunctionality of selected tropical fruit juices
(2022)
This review compiles the current state of knowledge on the effects of processing using thermal and nonthermal technologies and fermentation on selected compounds in potentially health-promoting tropical fruit juices, ...
HPLC-DAD-APCI/ESI-MSn analysis of carotenoids and α-tocopherol in Costa Rican Acrocomia aculeata fruits of varying maturity stages
(2018-03)
Carotenoids and tocopherols were characterised in the meso- and exocarp of wild-growing Costa Rican Acrocomia aculeata fruits. Comprehensive profiling of these lipophilic micronutrients in fruits of three varying maturity ...
Identification of phenolic compounds in soursop (Annona muricata) pulp by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array and electrospray ionization mass spectrometric detection
(2014-11)
Soursop (Annona muricata L., Annonaceae) is a neotropical fruit species producing large fruits that can be consumed fresh and mainly processed. While the leaves, roots and stems of this species have been the subject of ...
11'-α-Tocomonoenol is the major α-tocomonoenol isomer in cyanobacteria and microalgae from Costa Rica
(2022)
α-Tocomonoenols are vitamin E-derivatives with a single double-bond in the tocochromanol sidechain. Currently, two congeners are known: 11′-α-tocomonoenol and 12′-α-tocomonoenol, the later better known as “marine-derived ...
Characterization of phenolic compounds in jocote (Spondias purpurea L.) peels by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
(2012-05)
Phenolic acids and flavonol O-glycosides were extracted from the peels of jocote fruits (Spondias purpureaL.,Anacardiaceae) harvested in Costa Rica and characterized using ultra high-performance liquid chromatog-raphy ...
