Descripción
The effect of leaf position on phytochemical distribution in butterhead lettuce was assessed by rings (from ring 1: outer leaves, to ring 6: inner leaves) or by zones (external, middle, internal). Maximum ascorbic acid was found in middle rings while chlorophyll and carotenoids gradually decreased from external to internal rings. Outermost leaves accumulate more phenolics and present more antioxidant activity as determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity methods. However, the presence of phenolics in this zone also contributes to the enzymatic browning. Quantitative but not qualitative differences were found in the phenolic profiles between inner and outer lettuce zones. The major phenolic compounds identified were the phenolic acids chicoric, chlorogenic and isochlorogenic. For all phenolic compounds, greater content was always found in the external zone except for caffeic acid. A high correlation between DPPH and total phenolics, chlorophyll and carotenes indicated that these compounds were major contributors of antioxidant activity in lettuce.
