AbstractIn this study, lecithin (as a surfactant) was added to promote the inhibitory-mechanism of γ-oryzanol, ethyl-ferulate and ferulic acid (based on the interfacial phenomena) so as to inhibit the oxidation of stripped sunflower oil. Monitoring the amount of water production as a byproduct of oxidation showed that the water content of the lipid system increased remarkably through the oxidation progress. Lecithin enhanced the critical concentration of hydroperoxides in reverse micelles, compared to the basic state (14.8 vs. 9.2 mM), thereby improving the hydrogen-donating mechanism of antioxidants. The size of reverse micelles increased progressively during the oxidation, while two breakpoints were pointed out in the micelles growth, i.e. at the end of the initiation and the propagation phases. Based on the kinetic data, ferulic acid showed the highest antioxidant activity (23.4), compared to ethyl-ferulate (15.5) and γ-oryzanol (13.7). Generally, lecithin enhanced antioxidant activity (~ 65%) by improving the interfacial performance of antioxidants.

Ferulyl oleins were synthesized from ethyl ferulate and triolein with Lipopan lipase. The influence of reaction parameters, such as reaction system and water activity were evaluated. Among the tested lipases in different reaction system, Lipopan S BG appeared to be the most appropriate resulting in a overall yield of ferulyl oleins 28.31% within 120h in toluene system, whereas transesterification degree with other lipases did not exceed 20% in any condition. Similarly, the Lipopan lipase expressed the highest transesterification yield at aw = 0.33. The inhibition of nitrosamine by ferulyl oleins in vitro experiments were performed. The results showed that ferulyl oleins had a greater ability to inhibit the N-nitrosodimethylamine formation than ferulic acid and ethyl ferulate did. Ferulyl oleins showed an inhibition rate as high as 76.9%. In the case of nitrite, the extent of the inhibition by ferulyl oleins was slightly lower than EF. They all exhibited the highest inhibition rate at the concentration of 1.5mg/mL. The results suggest that ferulyl oleins can inhibite nitrosamine formation efficiently.

India is the second-largest producer of fruit and vegetable producers. Usually, after fruit intake, fruit peel is left as waste. The main bioactive components of pineapple are phenolic compounds, β-carotene, ascorbic acid, and flavonoids. Ferulic acid is a phenolic acid widely used in the nutritional and cosmetic fields. In this study, pineapple peel was dried, powdered, and vitamin content (A, B, B1, B2, B6, B12 & C), calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, zinc and food fiber were analyzed. Moreover, in the present study, traditional and non-conventional processes such as Soxhlet extraction, supreme fluid extraction, and normal solvent extraction was used for the extraction of ferulic acid, which is a precursor for vanillin synthesis. The quantification of ferulic acid was done by High performance fluid chromatographic (HPL C) method. After the above-mentioned extraction process overall phenolic and antioxidant activity were also evaluated and compared. The highest concentrations of ferulic acid (0.7696g/100 g), phenolic compound (2.365mg / GAE), antioxidant activity (45 percent), and yield (90.5 %) were obtained for Soxhlet extraction using methanol.

Phenolic compounds play a very crucial role as antioxidant that can prevent various diseases caused by free radicals in human body. Although, lots of natural phenolic compounds having antioxidant activity are available nowadays, the modeling of compounds with naturally available phenolics as building blocks is very important in order to get enhanced antioxidant activity. In this study, Ferulic acid (FA), one natural phenolic acid present in coffee, apples, orange, etc., is taken as building block and its ester derivatives with different alkyl groups are subjected to measure the antioxidant activity by using density functional theory (DFT). Various parameters like bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), vertical ionization potential (IP[Formula: see text]), reactivity descriptors, metal chelation ability, etc. are used to measure the antioxidant activity. All the parameters suggest that the ester derivatives are superior antioxidants to the parent FA. Since FA has been reported to be present as esters in many herbs and plants, hence our study provides a route to study the structure activity relationship of this class of natural phenolics with antioxidant activity.

Tragopogon graminifoliusDC. (TG), Compositae family, is traditionally used for the treatment of various diseases like gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders. The aim of the present study is to standardize extracts from TG used for preparation of different dosage forms in traditional Iranian medicine (TIM) based on phenolic compounds. For this purpose, total phenolic content and some phenolic compounds were determined in ethanolic extracts from aerial part and root of TG by HPLC method. Furthermore, antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH-HPLC methods. Caffeic acid, gallic acid,ρ-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and catechin were detected in root and aerial part of TG.ρ-Coumaric acid (6.357 ± 0.014 mg·g−1) was dominant phenolic compound in aerial part followed by ferulic acid (1.24 ± 0.018 mg·g−1). Also,ρ-coumaric acid (2.685 ± 0.031 mg·g−1) was highly abundant in root, followed by catechin (2.067 ± 0.021 mg·g−1). Antioxidant activity of root extract (460.45 ± 0.78 µg Vit.E.E·mL−1) was better than that of aerial part. Generally, phenolic compounds are one of the major constituents of TG and could be used as markers for standardization of dosage forms prepared from this plant. Also, TG demonstrated significant antioxidant activity using DPPH-HPLC method. Phenolic compounds of TG may be responsible for its marked antioxidant properties.
