Abstract(s)
The profile of the strawberry polyphenols was analysed on fresh strawberry, immediately after freezing or after pasteurization and during frozen storage of strawberry at -20 A degrees C for 360 days. Freezing increased the extractability of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (60 %), (-)-epicatechin (48 %) and ellagic acid (51 %) and decreased the pelargonidin-3-glucoside (18 %). Direct pasteurization of fresh strawberry increased the extractability for (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (73 %), (-)-epicatechin (45 %) and ellagic acid (143 %) and decreased for pelargonidin-3-glucoside (16 %). During storage at -20 A degrees C for 360 days the extractable levels of pelargonidin-3-rutinoside, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin and ellagic acid decreased by 17, 20, 37, 65 and 80 %, respectively, while those of pelargonidin-3-glucoside increased 13 %. Changes in polyphenols content, produced by pasteurization after 360 days frozen storage, were minimal. Polyphenols content decreased during storage of strawberry pieces at -20 A degrees C for 360 days, while the thermal treatment applied after freezing storage did not induce any significant change.
