Storage is a crucial component of a sustainable and efficient food supply system. Reduction of postharvest losses and waste is a vital strategy to improve efficiency, ensure product availability, and reduce environ-mental impact. Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) boasts a high nutritional value and complex of phytonutrients. Yet, the storage period for fresh asparagus is quite short, leading to rapid quality deterioration. An effective method to extend storage periods involves postharvest treatments using the natural biopolymer chitosan. The aim of the research was to assess the effectiveness of applying sustainable postharvest treatments based on chitosan and rutin, with a focus on losses and waste reduction during asparagus storage. The impact of the applied storage technology on the visual appeal and sensory attributes of asparagus, along with its effects on respiratory metabolism, weight loss, soluble solids, soluble carbohydrates, chlorophylls, and carotenoids, was systematically assessed. The findings indicate that the post-harvest treatment using chitosan and rutin effectively preserves the visual characteristics of asparaguswhen the storage period is prolonged to a week. A major advantage of this technology is a substantial reduction in waste, achieving the levels of 1.0-1.5%. The proportion of standard products post-storage ranged from 94.4% to 96.0%. The treatment with chitosan and rutin efficiently reduces weight loss by half and suppresses the respiration rate, leading to decreased losses in soluble solids, carbohydrates, chlorophylls, and carotenoids during storage. These outcomes underscore the effectiveness of the applied coating in impeding metabolic processes, resulting in minimized quantitative and qualitative losses in the product quality during a prolonged storage.

Przechowywanie jest istotnym elementem zrównoważonego i skutecznego łańcucha dostaw żywności. Redukcja strat i odpadów po zbiorze stanowi ważną strategię, której celem jest ulepszenie skuteczności, zapewnienie dostępności produktów oraz zmniejszenie wpływu na środowisko. Szparaga (Asparagus officinalis L.) posiada wysokie wartości odżywcze oraz kompleks fitozwiązków. Jednak okres przechowywania świeżej szparagi jest dosyć krótki, za czym idzie gwałtowne pogorszenie jakości. Skuteczna metoda wydłużająca okres przechowywania polega na zastosowaniu po zbiorze zabiegów z użyciem naturalnego chitozanu polimerowego. Niniejsze badanie miało na celu ocenę skuteczności stosowania zrównoważonych zabiegów po zbiorze z zastosowaniem chitozanu i rutyny skupiając się na redukcji strat i odpadów podczas przechowywania szparagi. Systematycznie oceniano wpływ zastosowanej technologii przechowywania na wygląd zewnętrzny i cechy sensoryczne szparagi razem z wpływem na metabolizm oddechowy, straty wagi, rozpuszczalnych cząstek stałych, rozpuszczalnych węglowodanów, chlorofilu i karotenoidów. Wyniki wskazują na to, że zabiegi przeprowadzone po zbiorze z użyciem chitozanu i rutyny skutecznie podtrzymują charakterystykę wizualną szparagi podczas gdy okres przechowywania wydłużony jest o tydzień. Główną korzyścią tej technologii jest widoczna redukcja odpadów na poziomie 1-1-5%. Proporcja standardowych produktów po przechowywaniu wahała się między 94,4 a 96%. Użycie chitozanu i rutyny skutecznie zmniejsza stratę wagi o połowę i hamuje tempo zmniejszając w ten sposób straty rozpuszczalnych części stałych, węglowodanów, chlorofilu i karotenoidów podczas przechowywania. Niniejsze wyniki potwierdzają skuteczność zastosowanej powłoki w blokowaniu procesu metabolicznego, co skutkuje zmniejszonymi stratami ilościowymi i jakościowymi produktu podczas przedłużonego przechowywania.

Flavonoids commonly can be found in plants. They protect them against various microorganisms or insects [1]. Flavonoids demonstrate not only antioxidant properties, but also prevent the development of cancer [2]. This is attributed to their ability to induce apoptosis of tumor cells. The structure of this type of compound is based mainly on the flavone skeleton with the keto group in position 4 (Fig. 2). The difference in structure of flavonoids consists mainly in the number and nature of the substituents. Flavonoid compounds have a 15-carbon atoms skeleton, consisting of two aromatic rings (A and B) connected to 3 carbon atoms, by oxygen contained within the heterocyclic ring C (Fig. 2) [5]. Structural difference of the pyranose ring C and position of the phenyl ring B are the basis for the division flavonoids into seven groups (Fig. 3) [6]. In recent years a number of work focused on the study of flavonoids complexes with ions of copper(II) or iron(II) were published [20–22]. One of the most important flavonoids is rutoside, which has a number of important biological activities. One of the most important function of this compound is inhibition hyaluronidase activity by reducing the permeation and improveing the flexibility of blood vessels. It is used to treat diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose, atherosclerotic diseases or disorders of the venous circulation. Rutoside forms a relatively stable complex with ions of iron(II) or calcium(II) as well as nickel(II) and especially with copper(II). This type of complex protect from rapid degradation/oxidation of L-ascorbic acid [14, 15]. In 2011, Sak-Bosnar and colleagues proposed the structure of rutoside complex with ions of copper (II) (Fig. 9) [20]. In the same year was published work suggesting that a key role in this type of mechanism play hydroxyl group at the 3 ‚carbon atom, which becomes a „carrier” of the electron/radical (Fig. 5) [19].

An ultrasensitive and rapid method for the determination of epicatechin, rutin, and quercetin was developed using capillary zone electrophoresis with on-line chemiluminescence detection. Under the optimal conditions, the analytes were baseline separated within 12 min. The limits of detection in turn were 0.60 pg mL-1 for epicatechin, 0.50 pg mL-1 for rutin, and 1.0 pg mL-1 for quercetin. The developed method was an easy and reliable method of determining these analytes concentrations in tea, extract Ginkgo biloba, and rutin tablet, demonstrating the feasibility and reliability of the proposed method.

A HPLC-DAD method for simultaneous analysis of five flavonoids (rutin, quercitrin, quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin) in diabetic rat plasma has been developed and validated. Separation of the five flavonoids was accomplished on a C 18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5-µm particle) and detection was performed at 350 nm. The best resolution was achieved with a methanol-0.1% formic acid gradient at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min −1 . The correlation coefficients for all the calibration plots ( r > 0.999) showed linearity was good over the range tested. The relative standard deviation of the method was less than 7% and 10% for intra- and inter-day assays, and average recovery was between 77.2 and 99.2%. Sensitivity was high and detection limits were between 0.006 and 0.02 µg mL −1 . The method has been successfully used to determine drug concentrations in diabetic rat plasma samples and the pharmacokinetics of the drugs.

Reversed-phase HPLC has been used to monitor the concentration of the two major Chamomile components rutin and quercetin during rat liver microsomal treatment. The possibility of microsomal oxidative metabolism or stability of these two components was examined using a guard-column without any clean-up. The concentration of quercetin decreased when exposed to rat liver microsomal media whereas the rutin concentration did not change significantly over one hour of treatment.
