Abstract
Ultrasound processing can result in cell wall disruption, facilitating the release of the cellular content. Therefore, we hypothesized that sonication of vegetables could be used as a pre-treatment to increase the bioaccessibility of phenolic and antioxidant compounds. Overall, sonication (40 kHz, 250 W, 4 °C, 20 min) did not affect the main physicochemical parameters of tomato, lettuce, zucchini, and green and red pepper (p < 0.05). The polyphenolic content and antioxidant activity of digestive enzymatic extracts was higher than that of water:methanol extracts (p < 0.05). In addition, sonication resulted in increased bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds in lettuce and green pepper (p < 0.05), while no effect was observed for tomato, red pepper, and zucchini samples suggesting a matrix-dependent effect. The amount of phenolic compounds and antioxidants released by vegetables during a simulated gastrointestinal digestion may be higher than the one that can be expected from measurements in usual aqueous-organic extracts.
