Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Microwaving increased l-dopa content of faba leaves by 24%.
- Intervention effect Steaming increased l-dopa content of faba leaves by 19%.
- Intervention effect Roasting increased flavonol content of faba leaves.
- Intervention effect Roasting increased kaempferol-3-O-arabinoside-7-O-rhamnoside of faba leaves by 28%.
- Intervention effect Boiling decreased about 50% of most phytochemicals evaluated in faba leaves.
- Intervention effect Microwaving significantly increased antioxidant activities of faba leaves.
- Intervention effect Steaming significantly increased antioxidant activities of faba leaves.
- Association The l-dopa content was strongly positively correlated with DPPH radical scavenging activity (R2 = 0.863).
- Association The l-dopa content was strongly positively correlated with ABTS radical scavenging activity (R2 = 0.856).
- Mechanism L-dopa was a key antioxidant in the processed faba leaves.
- Intervention effect All cooking methods potentially improved the flavor of cooked faba leaves compared with fresh leaves.
- Observation VOCs were the main components (>90%) of fresh faba leaves.
- Intervention effect Microwaving newly formed aromatic hydrocarbons in faba leaves, typically producing p-xylene.
- Intervention effect Aromatic hydrocarbons were not detected in faba leaves processed by the other cooking methods.
