Ethanol extracts of Chardonnay grape and black raspberry seed flours were evaluated for their capacity to suppress lipid oxidation, preserve important fatty acids, and inhibit microbial growth. They were also tested for radical scavenging activity against DPPH and peroxyl radicals as reflected in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and total phenolic content (TPC). Both tested seed flour extracts suppressed lipid oxidation and rancidity development in fish oil. Black raspberry seed flour extract significantly reduced the degradation of biologically important n - 3 PUFA under accelerated oxidative conditions. Black raspberry and Chardonnay seed flour extracts at 165 and 160 mu g seed flour equivalents/mL, respectively exhibited bacteriocidal activity against Escherichia coli and growth inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes under experimental conditions. Both seed flour extracts exhibited DPPH radical quenching activity and Chardonnay had the stronger ORAC of 663 mu mol Trolox equivalents per gram seed flour and the higher TPC of 99 mg gallic acid equivalents/g flour. The data from this study suggest the potential for developing natural food preservatives from these seed flours for improving food stability, quality, safety, and consumer acceptance.
