Resumo
Tagetes patula L. (Asteraceae), are French marigold native
from Mexico and Central America, which are also popularly
known and disseminated throughout the world. Furthermore,
the French marigold flowers are used in culinary
preparations, being also acknowledged for their
phytochemical and medicinal properties. Edible flowers have
been increasingly used in culinary preparations, which
require new approaches to improve their conservation and
safety. Nowadays, food irradiation as a Phytosanitary
application is an economically and viable technology to
extend shelf life of many vegetables. The purpose of this
study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of T. patula
flowers submitted to electron beam and gamma irradiation
doses of 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 kGy, as also non-irradiated samples
(control). The antioxidant activity was evaluated through
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity assay (ORAC), 2,2-
diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging and Ferric
Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP). The results show that the
process by ionizing radiation in the flowers T. patula
preservation can be feasible alternative ensured the
properties of edible flowers.
