Phenolic Components

The phenolic content and the radical scavenging activity were compared in leaves of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) cultivars Shimon-1, Kyushu-119 and Elegant Summer grown under different temperature and shading conditions. Compared to cultivar differences, there was less effect of temperature and shading on the total phenolic content in sweetpotato leaves, however certain polyphenolic components differed widely among the treatments. The positive correlation between the radical scavenging activity and the level of total phenolics (r = 0.62) suggests that phenolic compounds are important antioxidant components of sweetpotato leaves. All the reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) profiles of the cultivars tested showed peaks at the same retention times but peak areas of individual phenolic compounds differed with respective temperature and shading treatments. The phenolic compounds identified in the sweetpotato leaf were caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid. Most of the phenolic compounds were highest in leaves from plants grown at 20 °C without shading except 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid. The results indicate that growing leaves under moderately high temperatures and in full sun enhances the accumulation of phenolic components. These phenolic components have possible value in enhancing human health.

H. perforatum, which is widely used in traditional medicine due to its bioactive compounds was extracted with ethanol-water (3:7). The extract was encapsulated with maltodextrin and gum arabic in a spray dryer in order to protect the phenolic compounds in its structure. Different amounts of microcapsules were added to our traditional drink, i.e. ayran (drinking yoghurt). The total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the microcapsules, extract of HP, and ayran samples were determined. The amount of total phenolic compounds in the microcapsule provided a superior effect than the extract. The ayran samples were supplemented with 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% of H. perforatum (HP) microcapsules and it is observed that total phenolic content (TPC) and DPPH radical scavenging activity indicated an increase with concentration. TPC and DPPH activity were determined as 256.94 mg GAE / 100mL and 78.05% for 6% of HP microcapsules supplemented samples. As a result of the sensory analysis, ayran samples which supplemented with 4% of HS microcapsule gained the highest scores by the panellists and received more appreciation than the control group. According to sensory analysis, HP4 (ayran produced with 4% HP added microcapsule) sample was determined as the best sample, while the HP6 (Ayran produced with 6% HP added microcapsule) sample had the highest scores in terms of DPPH scavenging activity and TPC results. The overall results of this study revealed that 4% HP supplemented ayran can be produced with its increased health benefits and desirable properties. In this study, the use of H. perforatum microcapsules in ayran, its effect on antioxidant and phenolic components, the usage rates and acceptability of microcapsules were investigated.

PurposeSolid-state fermentation (SSF) has been highlighted as an alternative to obtain valuable compounds using agro-industrial wastes as a substrate. The present study evaluated the impact of extrusion combined with SSF on the production of phenolic compounds and their antioxidant activity using pecan nut shell (PWS) as a substrate.Design/methodology/approachPWS and extruded pecan nut shell (PWSE) were fermented for 120 h at 30°C using Aspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae). Samples were withdrawn from incubator at 6 h, 12 h and then every 12 h until 120 h fermentation. PWS and PWSE samples were extracted. The total phenolic content (TPC) and radical scavenging activity (RSA) extracts were characterized from the resulting extracts.FindingsThe use of PWSE yielded higher A. oryzae biomass and at a higher rate after 120 h of fermentation (PWS 75.74% vs PWSE 87.50%). In general, the TPC and the RSA increased with fermentation time. However, the PWSE yielded significantly higher (p < 0.05) TPC and RSA values after SSF in comparison to the nonextruded PWS. Condensed tannins showed different trends depending on the fermented substrate. Overall, results showed that the extrusion pretreatment joint with the SSF represents a good alternative to raise the phenolic content and antiradical activity of lignocellulosic materials such as PWSs.Originality/valueThis study offers valuable information that may be used by the pecan walnut industry to valorize the shell coproduct as a substrate to produce functional ingredients or fungal enzymes.

Byproducts obtained after wine production constitute an important source for the extraction of antioxidant compounds. Phenolic compounds showed a wide spectrum of biological actions for the human health, often associated with neuroprotective, cardioprotective, antimicrobial and other health-related effects. The aim of the present study was to determine the phenolic compounds content and antioxidant activity of grape marc from selected grapes from Iaşi vineyard. The total phenolic content of the extracts was measured using the Folin-Ciocâlteu method, with some modifications. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay was used to evaluate radical scavenging activity, by bleaching of purple methanolic solution of the stable radical. All extracts were able to reduce DPPH radical with different degrees of scavenging activity. The highest radical scavenging activity was determined for the extract obtained from Merlot and Fetească Neagră (98.142 μg/mL, and 115.78 μg/mL respectively), with positive correlation between scavenging activity on DPPH and total phenolic content. The total phenolic content varied among the analysed extracts, with a higher concentration in extracts obtained from Merlot, Fetească Neagră and Traminer rosé (2.42 GAE/mL, 1.45 GAE/mL and 1.24 GAE/mL respectively), followed by Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat Ottonel extracts with comparable amounts. The FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) method relies on the color change of a complex with Fe+3 ion of the 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl) – 1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) radical due to the reduction of the ferric ion to the ferrous iron (Fe+2) in this complex. The highest radical scavenging activity was determined in the extract obtained from Merlot and Fetească Neagră (1164.22 μM Trolox/100 mL and 782.09 μM Trolox/100 mL respectively), a positive correlation between scavenging activity determined by FRAP method and total phenolic content being observed.Statistical analysis showed a close relationship between content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity, the marc of Merlot and Fetească Neagră had the highest contents of anthocyanins. The results suggested that grape pomace may be exploited as antioxindant source.

Radical scavenging activity (RSA), antioxidant content (TEAC), total phenolic compounds content (TPCC) and volatile profile (VOCs) were measured in 26 honeys obtained from the Valparaíso Region (Chile). Persea americana honey was the most interesting sample according to these evaluated parameters. A Projection to Latent Structures (PLS) based algorithm was used to model the possible relationship between antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds content and volatile profile. Concerning the volatile profile, only nine volatile compounds, of a total of fifty, showed dependence on antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds content.

Plum wines made from two cultivars of Prunus domestica L. (Pozegaca and Crvena ranka) and one cultivar of Prunus insititia L. (Trnovaca) were evaluated for their total phenolic and anthocyanin contents. LC?MS/MS analysis based on specific MS transitions in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used for the identification and quantification of selected phenolic compounds. Catechin, chlorogenic and caffeic acids, as well as quercetin, were identified as the main polyphenols in plum wines. The total amount of phenolic compounds ranged from 1.24 to 1.58 g gallic acid equivalent per L. Among the examined wines, the Crvena ranka wine had a higher content of anthocyanins (12.31 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent per L). The antioxidant capacity of the wines was determined using the DPPH assay. The variations in the physicochemical characteristics, phenolic composition and DPPH radical scavenging activity of these wines are related to differences due to the different plum cultivars used in the preparation of each wine.

The present study was to analyze the antioxidant activity and the responsible chemical constituents in Cephalotaxus oliveri Mast. aerial parts. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl), ABTS [2,2?-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid)], reducing power and total phenolic content assays indicate that the methanol extract of the aerial parts is the most potent radical-scavenger and reducing agent with the highest level of phenolic content among the test extracts. The highly positive linear correlations implicate that the four assays have similar capacity to predict the antioxidant potential of the aerial parts and phenolic compounds present contribute significantly to DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing power of the extracts. The plant also displayed considerable superoxide anion radical scavenging activity. LC-MS/MS and GC-MS analyses resulted in the identification of 22 compounds in the methanol extract, among which are 15 phenolic compounds. The total amount of the phenolic compounds in the methanol extract determined by HPLC method was more than 5622.39 ?g/g dry weight. The considerable antioxidant potential and a high content of phenolic antioxidants suggest that C. oliveri aerial parts are a potential source of natural antioxidants.
