Purple potato introduction
Sweet potato is annual herb, while purple potato is cultivated in unique genetic traits and characterized by economic value varietal type. These tuberous roots are among the most nutritious foods in the vegetable kingdom. They are packed with calcium, potassium, and vitamins A and C. This is why one colonial physician called them the "vegetable indispensable."Sweet potatoes contain an enzyme that converts most of its starches into sugars as the potato matures. This sweetness continues to increase during storage and when they are cooked.
At present, anthocyanin is mainly extracted from purple potato king. As purple potato anthocyanin is more stable under acidic conditions, extraction of anthocyanin mainly use the means of solvent. The extraction agents include ethanol, citric acid, etc. After filtration, concentration and other processes, the final product can be gotten.Because of its bright color of anthocyanin, antioxidant and other health care functions, will put into industrial production, to enrich people's work and life.
The advantages:
1. The application in the food industry
Anthocyanin of Purple potato has strong heat resistance so that it can withstand the pasteurization disinfection on food industry and can dissolve in water solution. Therefore, it mainly used as food coloring agent, ranging from red to purple, added to ice cream, dairy drinks, cheeses, seafood, fruit juice, jelly, cereal and other foods. Belonging to the natural non-toxic product and with no limit provisions, they can meet the requirement of color degree.
2. The application in medicine industry
In medicine production, people also add artificial coloring to make the drugs identify and distinguish easily. But these are the synthetic pigment, which are certain hazards to human. If people use them for long term, they will produce some side effects. Therefore, people can use natural pigments from purple potato to replace the synthetic pigment to make color pills.
3. The application in cosmetics industry
Skin care products containing anthocyanin can inhibit peroxide formation which due to oxygen free radicals generated by UV radiation. And they play a role on improving skin inflammation and anti-oxidation. In addition, purple potato anthocyanin can be substituted for industrial synthetic pigments which are now widely used in lipstick, rouge, shampoo and other cosmetics.
Japanese researchers prepared extracts of baked sweet potato and studied its anti-cancer activities. They found that extracts containing high phenolic compounds showed significant radical scavenging effects against the DPPH radicals. In addition, these extracts suppressed the proliferation of human myelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells with apoptosis induction in a dose-dependent manner. These extracts also blocked TPA-induced cell transformation in muse skin JB6 cell line.
Ludvik B and co-workers from University of Vienna, Austria have
reported the beneficial effects of Caiapo, the extract of white-skinned sweet potato (ipomoea batatas), on fasting plasma glucose, as well as on total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in type 2 diabetic patients. They further noticed that short-term treatment with 4 g/d of the nutraceutical Caiapo consistently improved metabolic control in type 2 diabetic patients by decreasing insulin resistance without affecting body weight, glucose effectiveness, or insulin dynamics. They also did not notice any side effects during the study.
A study of rats have shown a significant increase in the activity of
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the rats fed phytic extract
from sweet potato compared to the other groups. Phytic acid extract consumption from sweet potato and commercial phytic acid plus zinc supplement lowered blood glucose levels. Thus, consumption of sweet potato diets is linked to blood glucose level lowering.
