o:6223 Physico-Chemical Properties, Bioactive compounds, and In Vitro Biological Activities of Goji Berry Juice en Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) is a rich source of bioactive compounds with long-term use in diet and for medicinal purposes. The aim of the study is to analyze the physico-chemical properties and bioactive compounds of goji berry juice from L. barbarum fruits cultivated in Serbia. In addition, the antioxidant activities were investigated using five different spectrophotometric micro assays (DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP and beta-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching inhibition) and the antidiabetic potential towards two enzymes (alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase). Apart from good sensory acceptability, the results suggest that goji berry juice can be used as a good source of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols (194.5 ± 3.88 mg GAE/100 mL), flavonoids (70.30 ± 5.11 mg CE/100 mL), carotenoids (204.6 ± 0.06 mg/100 mL), polysaccharides (375.2 ± 12.46 mg Gl/100 mL) and minerals, especially potassium and copper. The study showed that juice has good antioxidant activity and a dose-dependent antidiabetic potential. Obtained results suggest that consumption of goji berry juice can provide natural antioxidant compounds and can be considered as a functional ingredient with good sensory quality, especially for people with diabetes. 2024-11-27T11:47:18.811Z 44 no 46 Tijana Ilić Department of Bromatology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade 46 Nemanja Krgović Institute for Medicinal Plant Research, ''Dr. Josif Pančić'', Belgrade 0000-0003-3611-9911 46 Milan Milenković Institute of Public Health of Serbia Dr Milan Jovanovic Batut, Center for Hygiene and Human Ecology, Belgrade 46 Igor Kodranov Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, University of Belgrade 46 Bojana Vidović Department of Bromatology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Belgrade application/pdf 3962935 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:6223 no yes 1 70 92000004 71A10 ABSTRACT BOOK 635 636 22nd World Congress of Food Science and Technology 2024
