6 Bob Durst Linus Pauling Institute Bob.Durst@OregonState.edu Canned and Frozen Cling Peach Study

7 Linus Pauling Institute Mission Statement Determine the function and role of vitamins and essential minerals (micronutrients) and chemicals from plants (phytochemicals) in promoting optimum health and preventing or treating disease. Determine the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in human health and disease, and the protective effects of dietary factors with anti-oxidant or anti-inflammatory properties. Help people everywhere achieve a healthy and productive life, full of vitality, with minimal suffering, and free of cancer and other debilitating diseases.

8 LPI Prescription for Health  Healthy Eating –5 servings Fruits and Vegetables (9 is better) –Increase Omega-3 fatty acids –Reduce saturated and trans-fat –Avoid soft drinks, sugar-coated cereal, candy  Healthy Lifestyle –Healthy bodyweight –30 minutes moderate, daily exercise  Supplements –Multi-vitamins, C, D, E, calcium

9 Fruits & Vegetables  Vitamins  Essential Minerals  Fiber  Phytochemicals –Flavonoids/Polyphenols –Carotenoids –Chlorophyll –Etc.

10 Peach Storage Study  California Cling Peach Board  Nutrient content of peach products  How do processed peaches compare to fresh?  How does processing impact nutrients?  How does storage affect nutrients?  Promote healthy aspect of canned peaches

11 Peach Samples  Canned in syrup (CS)  Canned in (pear) juice (CJ)  Frozen (Frzn)  Fresh (Fresh)  Storage Time –0, 3, 6 and 12 months –Fresh samples 2007 & 2008

12 Analytes  Vitamin E  Carotenoids (Vitamin A)  Phenolics –Profile –Total (F-C)  Antioxidants –Vitamin C –FRAP  Sugars  Fiber for 2009

13 Vitamin E  Processing increases levels –Canned in juice 2x higher –Canned in syrup 3x higher –Frozen 4x higher  Retention during storage –Canned in juice retained 67% –Canned in syrup retained 50% –Frozen retained 73%  4-17% RDA (fresh 2-5%) for 2009

14

15 Carotenoids (Vitamin A)  Processing increases levels –Canned in juice 7x higher –Canned in syrup 6.5x higher –Frozen 10x higher  Retention during storage –Canned in juice retained 64% –Canned in syrup retained 75% –Frozen retained 65%  6-20% RDA (fresh 1%) for 2009

19 Phenolics  No scientific proof that flavonoids exert physiologically relevant antioxidant effects in humans!  Good scientific evidence that flavonoids exert (non-antioxidant) physiological effects, and have possible health benefits, in humans!

20 Phenolics in Peaches  Phenolic fingerprint –Dozens of unique compounds –Changes with processing  Changes in profile and Increase in amounts –Minor changes with storage  Total phenolics –Frozen is highest (?Vit C interference) –No changes with storage

21 Fresh Freestone Canned in Juice (t12)

22

23 Vitamin C  Retention during storage –CJ samples after 12 months storage retain over 70% –CS samples had 106% –Frozen sample had 90%  Difference between canned & frozen –Frozen samples had added ascorbic acid (and citric acid) –Significant addition compared to what's naturally present  Fresh had higher levels than processed –Losses occurred during canning process  Little change during storage  15-40% RDA (fresh 35-75%) (frozen 5-10x) for 2009

24 Canned in juiceCanned in syrup Frozen Fresh

25

26 Antioxidants (FRAP)  Range of values measured is quite large  No change during storage in canned samples –CS is 24% greater than CJ  Frozen samples significantly greater –Due to added ascorbic acid –>50% loss during storage  Not fully accounted for by decrease in ascorbic for 2009

27 Canned in juice Canned in syrup Frozen Fresh

28 Conclusions  Processing Preserves and Increases Nutrients!  Canned peaches are sources of (/100g) –Vitamin C  15-40% RDA (fresh 35-75%) (frozen 5-10x) –Antioxidants  No RDA –Carotenoids (Vitamin A)  6-20% RDA (fresh 1%); Canned in syrup 6.5x higher! –Vitamin E  4-17% RDA (fresh 2-5%)
