Phenolic and antioxidant capacity retention of potato peel waste as a function of cultivar, pretreatment and drying procedure

Drying procedures employed for potato peels (both raw and boiled) may adversely affect the useful bioactivecomponents present in them. This study envisaged identification of a feasible drying procedure handlingbulk peel waste maximising retention phytochemicals powder. The total phenols (TP), flavonoids (TF) antioxidant capacity (TAC) were assessed three commercial one newly developed anthocyanin rich Indian cultivars response to boiling pretreatment varying procedures. Microwave (600W) was best terms rate both boiled peels. It yielded greatest amount TP TF dried peel, irrespective cultivar. Dried an thocyanin Kufri Neelkanth cultivar exhibited maximum TAC. Retention TF, metal scavenging activity reducing power followed almost similar pattern as cultivar, procedure. Our shows that from (raw) Frysona are source phenolics can serve suitable matrix extraction bioactive compounds which holds promise use food industry.
