Abstract

Introduction. The research aim – to determine the effect of two herbal mixtures on herb bread properties. The influence was established of the herbals on the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of herbal mixtures, herbal-flour mixtures and herb breads.
Materials and methods. It was used two herbal mixtures (1 – thyme, oregano and lemon balm; 2 – thyme, oregano, lemon balm and fenugreek) with wheat flour for herb bread production. Total polyphenol content was determined following the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant activities of sample extracts were evaluated by four methods: ABTS•+, CUPRAC, FRAP and DPPH assay.
Results and discussion. The highest total phenolic content from all investigated herbs showed oregano (30.43 mg GAE/g dw), herbal mixtures 1 and herbal mixtures 2 – 19.18 mg GAE/g dw and 17.47 mg GAE/g dw, respectively. In herbal-flour mixture and prepared breads the level of total phenolic content were in the range from 0.31mg GAE/g dw to
0.37 mg GAE/g dw. Therefore, the content of these bioactive compounds didn`t changed significantly during the baking process. The highest antioxidant activity of herbal mixtures, herbal-flour mixtures and breads were obtained by two of the used methods – ABTS and FRAP assay. The highest antioxidant potential was demonstrated by herbal mixture 1 consisted of 3 herbs – 16829.73 mM TE/100 g dw, followed by the herbal mixture 2 with 4 herbs – 14693.75 mM TE/100 g dw, respectively, both evaluated by the ABTS method. For the FRAP method, the antioxidant activity values were: 15997.65 mM TE/100 g dw for the herbal mixture 1 with 3 herbs and 14136.82 mM TE/100 g dw for the herbal mixture 2 of 4 herbs.
Conclusions. Herbs added to flour increased the total phenolics and antioxidant values of flour-mixtures and breads. Insignifiant differences in the antioxidant potentials were observed between breads with three and four herbs.
