The complex of bilberry polyphenols, sorbed on the buckwheat flour as a functional food ingredient

Abstract

Blueberries, which contain a wide range of polyphenolic compounds, are used in traditional medicine for prevention and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. However, the high content of mono- and disaccharides in the juice significantly reduces the possibility of using in preventive nutrition by persons with impaired carbohydrate metabolism. In this regard, it is necessary to search for technological approaches aimed at obtaining functional food ingredients with a higher content of polyphenols and a low content of mono - and disaccharides, for subsequent inclusion in corresponding therapeutic foods. The aim of this study was to develop a technological approach to obtain a food matrix by enriching buckwheat flour with polyphenolic compounds extracted from blueberries.

Material and methods. The work presents a method for producing a food matrix by sorption of polyphenolic compounds from an aqueous-alcoholic extract of blueberries on buckwheat flour. The concentration of total polyphenols and anthocyanins in the extract and their content in the food matrix was determined by spectrophotometric methods. The content of mono- and disaccharides and profile of individual anthocyanins was determined by HPLC.

Results and discussion. The sorption on buckwheat flour was 45% of the total polyphenol content and 48% of anthocyanin content in the initial blueberry fruit extract. The profile of anthocyanins sorbed on a food matrix did not differ significantly from the profile of blueberry extract. The results of determining the content of mono- and disaccharides indicate the absence of their sorption from the extract of blueberries on buckwheat flour.

Conclusion. The results obtained are of significant interest, indicating that the sorption approach allows targeted concentration of polyphenols in the food matrix with a minimum amount of easily digestible carbohydrates, which significantly increases the efficiency of its use as a functional food ingredient in dietetic products for people with carbohydrate metabolism disorders.
