Phenolic profiles and cellular antioxidant activity of longan pulp of 24 representative Chinese cultivars

The phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of fruits are associated with their health benefits. Longan is a traditional Chinese edible and medicinal fruit, but its varietal differences in phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activity were unknown. Twenty-four longan cultivars from southern China were investigated in this study. Their total phenolic and flavonoid contents in pulp were 22.09–132.47 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g and 2.48–14.26 mg catechin equivalents/100 g, respectively. The mean contributions of free phenolics and ?avonoids to the total were 82.5% and 94.0%, respectively. Among 10 individual phenolics detected by HPLC, the contents of epicatechin, 4-methylcatechol, chlorogenic, and vanillic acids were relatively higher. The cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) of longan pulp showed significant varietal discrepancies and positive correlation with phenolic and flavonoid contents. Phenolics in longan pulp of 24 cultivars showed lower CAA potential than many other fruits with the CAA qualities from 0.35 to 1.21 µmol quercetin equivalent/100 µmol total phenolics. Longan cultivars were classified into six groups by hierarchical clustering analysis. Six cultivars in group 4 and 6 had higher phytochemical contents and CAA activity.     

Antioxidant and anticancer activities of high pressure-assisted extract of longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) fruit pericarp

Longan fruit pericarp was extracted with 50% ethanol employing high pressure (500 MPa) and conventional extraction methods. Total phenolic contents of high pressure-assisted extract of longan (HPEL) and conventional extract of longan (CEL) were 20.8 and 14.6 mg gallic acid equivalents/g dry weight, respectively. Subsequently, the antioxidant activities of these extracts were analyzed employing various antioxidant model systems including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant capacity, and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity. In addition, anticancer activity was also tested using HepG2, A549, and SGC 7901 cancer cell lines. HPEL showed excellent antioxidant and anticancer activities and were higher than CEL. Three phenolic compounds, namely gallic acid, corilagin, and ellagic acid, were identified and quantified by external standard methods. Compared with CEL, HPEL exhibited higher extraction effectiveness in terms of higher extraction yield, higher phenolic content, and higher antioxidant and anticancer activity with shorter extraction time.

Industrial relevance

This study was focused to evaluate the antioxidant and anticancer activity of longan fruit pericarp by high-pressure treatment. The high-pressure treatment provided a better way of utilizing longan fruit pericarp as a readily accessible source of the natural anticancer and antioxidant in food and pharmaceutical industry.     

Antioxidant capacities of phenolic compounds and tocopherols from Tunisian pomegranate (Punica granatum) fruits

This article aims to determine the phenolic, tocopherol contents, and antioxidant capacities from fruits (juices, peels, and seed oils) of 6 Tunisian pomegranate ecotypes. Total anthocyanins were determined by a differential pH method. Hydrolyzable tannins were determined with potassium iodate. The tocopherol (α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, and δ-tocopherol) contents were, respectively, 165.77, 107.38, and 27.29 mg/100 g from dry seed. Four phenolic compounds were identified and quantified in pomegranate peel and pulp using the high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet method: 2 hydroxybenzoic acids (gallic and ellagic acids) and 2 hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic and p-coumaric acids). Juice, peel, and seed oil antioxidants were confirmed by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) methods. The highest values were recorded in peels with 25.63 mmol trolox equivalent/100 g and 22.08 mmol TE/100 g for FRAP and ORAC assay, respectively. Results showed that the antioxidant potency of pomegranate extracts was correlated with their phenolic compound content. In particular, the highest correlation was reported in peels. High correlations were also found between peel hydroxybenzoic acids and FRAP ORAC antioxidant capacities. Identified tocopherols seem to contribute in major part to the antioxidant activity of seed oil. The results implied that bioactive compounds from the peel might be potential resources for the development of antioxidant function dietary food.

The phenolic composition and antioxidant capacity of soluble and bound extracts in selected dietary spices and medicinal herbs

Phenolic compounds, commonly found in plant‐based foods, exist in free or bound form. Despite much research on the soluble phenolics in spices and herbs, their bound phenolics have not been intensively investigated. In this study, six common dietary spices and medicinal herbs (Padang cassia, oregano, clove, Chinese cassia, Japanese knotweed and peel of pomegranate) were selected to evaluate and compare their phenolic composition and antioxidant capacity in soluble extracts (SEs) and bound extracts (BEs). Generally, the samples had high total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, with lower levels in the BEs. From the HPLC results, (+)‐catechin, (?)‐epicatechin, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and carvacrol were the major phenolic compounds in the SEs, and gallic acid, p‐coumaric acid and ellagic acid in the BEs. Phenolic compounds are likely the major contributors to the antioxidant capacity of these plant samples. Overall, these dietary spices and medicinal herbs can be excellent sources of natural antioxidant phenolics.     

Antioxidant compounds and antioxidant capacity of Peruvian camu camu (Myrciaria dubia (H.B.K.) McVaugh) fruit at different maturity stages

The antioxidant capacities of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds present in camu camu fruit were screened during ripening. Ascorbic acid decreased, and anthocyanin, flavonol and flavanol contents, and DPPH antioxidant capacity increased during ripening. Antioxidant compounds from camu camu were fractionated in two fractions: an ascorbic acid-rich fraction (F-I) and a phenolics-rich fraction (F-II). F-I was the major contributor to the DPPH antioxidant capacity (67.5–79.3%) and F-II played a minor role (20.7–32.5%). A total of 30 different phenolic compounds were detected by HPLC-PAD. The presence of catechin, delphinidin 3-glucoside, cyanidin 3-glucoside, ellagic acid and rutin was elucidated. Other phenolic compounds, such as flavan-3-ol, flavonol, flavanone and ellagic acid derivatives, were also present. For the three ripening stages the flavan-3-ols and ellagic acid group were the most representative phenolic compounds in this fruit. Acid hydrolysis of F-II revealed the presence mainly of gallic and ellagic acids, suggesting that camu camu fruit possesses important quantities of hydrolysed tannins (gallo- and/or ellagitannins). These results confirm that camu camu fruit is a promising source of antioxidant phenolics.     

Quantification of gallic acid and ellagic acid from longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) seed and mango (Mangifera indica L.) kernel and their effects on antioxidant activity

Gallic acid (GA) and ellagic acid (EA) have been identified in longan seed and mango kernel by the use of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled with photodiode array detection (DAD). The ethanolic extract of longan seed contained 23.3 and 156 mg/100 seeds of GA and EA, respectively. The ethanolic extracts of mango kernel contained approximately 87% more GA than the longan seed ethanolic extracts but about 32% less EA. After heat treatment and acid hydrolysis, mango kernel had higher concentrations of GA and EA, contributing to more potent antioxidant activity. The results demonstrated rich sources of GA and EA in longan seed and mango kernel which might provide a novel source of these natural antioxidants.     

Salt effect on phenolics and antioxidant activities of Tunisian and Canadian sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) shoots

BACKGROUND: Two varieties of Origanum majorana (Canadian and Tunisian) were evaluated for their phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents, individual phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities under NaCl constraint. RESULTS: The results showed a significant variability in phenolic composition and antioxidant behavior between the two varieties under salt stress. The phenolic composition of methanolic extracts was determined by reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography. Amentoflavone was the predominant flavonoid compound; in addition, trans‐2‐hydrocinnamic acid became the major phenolic acid with salt treatment of the Tunisian variety. In the control, Canadian variety extract was characterized by high levels of gallic acid and amentoflavone. However, under 75 mmol L^?1 NaCl, gallic acid content doubled, whereas amentoflavone content was maintained in the Canadian variety. Stimulation of phenolic acid biosynthesis was observed in these two varieties under salt treatment despite the fact that shoots of the Tunisian variety showed higher antioxidant activities compared to those from the Canadian variety. Tunisian O. majorana might have developed tolerance to salinity and avoided tissue damage by activating enzymes involved in the galactosylation of quercetin into quercetin‐3‐galactoside and quercetin‐3‐rhamnoside. CONCLUSION: Our results confirmed the tolerance of Tunisian O. majorana plants. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

Organic acids,antioxidant capacity,phenolic content and lipid characterisation of Georgia-grown underutilized fruit crops

Four underutilized Georgia-grown fruit crops, namely loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), mayhaw (Crataegus sp.), fig (Ficus carica), and pawpaw (Asimina triloba), and their leaves were analysed for total polyphenols by Folin–Ciocalteau method, and antioxidant capacity by ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assays. Organic acids and phenolic compounds were identified by RP-HPLC. For lipid profile, fruits were separated into two fractions – seed and fruit (i.e., without seed); lipid was extracted using the Folch method and analysed for fatty acids, phytosterols, tocopherols, and phospholipids. The major organic acid identified in all samples was malic acid (177–1918 mg/100 g FW). The predominant phenolic acids in all the fruits were gallic (1.5–6.4 mg/100 g FW) and ellagic (0.2–33.8 mg/100 g FW), and the most abundant flavonoid was catechin (12.2–37.8 mg/100 g FW). Total lipid content varied from 0.1% in mayhaw fruit to 21.5% in pawpaw seed. Linoleic acid was the predominant fatty acid in all of the samples (28.2–55.7%).     

Bioactive compounds and in vitro antioxidant activities of peel,flesh and seed powder of kiwi fruit

The aim of this work was to assess the bioactive compounds and antioxidant potential of powder obtained by the lyophilisation of the peel, flesh and seeds of kiwi fruit. Eight typical varieties of kiwi fruit in Shaanxi, China, were selected, and the pH value, content of Vc, total polyphenols, and flavonoids of different parts of the kiwi fruit were analysed. The content of phenols was determined by HPLC. The results revealed that phenolic compounds, such as protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, p‐hydroxybenzoic acid and quercetin, were rich in different parts of kiwi fruit and highest in the peel. The Vc content was highest in the flesh. The antioxidant activities show the same trend as the total polyphenol content. The kiwi fruit peel and seed can be used to reduce agro‐industrial waste and are promising ingredients for use in the enrichment of products providing dietary fibre, bioactive compounds and antioxidant action.

HPLC-DAD-ESIMS analysis of phenolic compounds in bayberries (Myrica rubra Sieb. et Zucc.)

Qualitative analysis of the ethyl acetate extracts from three bayberry cultivars, Xiangshan, Biqi and Dongkui, was performed by means of a hyphenated technique of HPLC coupled to photodiode array detection and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-ESIMS). Three phenolic compounds were identified (gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and quercetin 3-glucoside) and seven others (two myricetin hexoside and two myricetin deoxyhexoside derivatives; quercetin hexoside and quercetin deoxyhexoside derivatives; kaempferol hexoside derivative) partially identified. Quantification of phenolic compounds was performed by HPLC-DAD, which revealed that gallic acid (2.6–7.0 mg/kg FW) was the major phenolic acid in all analysed cultivars. Myricetin glycosides (71.1 mg/kg FW) were the major flavonol glycosides in cultivar Xiangshan and quercetin glycosides (117.8 mg/kg FW) were the major ones in cultivar Biqi. Cultivar Dongkui had medium contents of quercetin glycosides (48.0 mg/kg FW) and myricetin glycosides (53.2 mg/kg FW). Kaempferol glyosides (3.1–4.6 mg/kg FW) were the lowest contents of flavonol glycosides in the assayed bayberries. These results are relevant not only from a nutritional point of view, but also in the control of color stability and haze formation during bayberry juice processing and storage.     

Internal corrosion of tinplate container in canned mango (Mangifera indica) L. Nectar

Mango nectar prepared from Banganapalli variety caused less corrosion than nectar prepared from Badami or Raspuri variety. Degree of corrosion was inversely proportional to the viscosity of nectar. Among different fractions of mango pulp, only organic acid fractions were responsible for corrosion. β-carotene did not contribute to corrosion. Corrosion was more in pulp and nectar prepared from unpeeled mangoes. The peel contains gallic acid and ellagic acid of which the former acts as accelerator of corrosion. Rutin, catechin and pyracatechol acted as accelerators of corrosion but not quercetin. Leucopetunidin and leucopelargonidin have been tentatively identified in the mango peel and they did not affect the process of corrosion.     

Phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of different fruit fractions (peel,pulp, aril and seed) of Thai gac (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng)

Three fractions (peel, pulp and aril) of gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng) were investigated for their phytochemicals (lycopene, beta-carotene, lutein and phenolic compounds) and their antioxidant activity. The results showed that the aril had the highest contents for both lycopene and beta-carotene, whilst peel (yellow) contained the highest amount of lutein. Two major phenolic acid groups: hydroxybenzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic were identified and quantified. Gallic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were found in all fractions. Ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were most evident in pulp. Myricetin was the only flavonoid found in all fractions. Apigenin was the most predominant flavonoid in pulp (red), whereas rutin and luteolin gave the highest content in aril. The extracts of different fractions exhibited different levels of antioxidant activity in the systems tested. The aril extract showed the highest FRAP value. The greatest antioxidant activities of peel and pulp extracts were at immature stage, whereas those in the seed extracts increased from mature stage to ripe stage. The contents of total phenolic and total flavonoid in peel and pulp decreased during the fruit development stage (immature > ripe fruit) and subsequently displayed lower antioxidant capacity, except for the seed.     

Identification and quantification of major phenolic compounds from mango (Mangifera indica, cv. Ataulfo) fruit by HPLC–DAD–MS/MS-ESI and their individual contribution to the antioxidant activity during ripening

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important fruit throughout the world. ‘Ataulfo’ mango, a leading cultivar in Mexico, has the highest content of phenolic compounds among several commercial varieties of mango. However, the individual identification and antioxidant contribution of these phenols during ripening of mango fruit is unknown. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the major phenolic compounds found in ‘Ataulfo’ mango fruit pulp was conducted in four stages of ripeness, using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The antioxidant contribution of each of the major phenolic compounds was calculated. The major compounds identified were chlorogenic acid (28–301 mg/100 g DW), gallic acid (94.6–98.7 mg/100 g DW), vanillic acid (16.9–24.4 mg/100 g DW), and protocatechuic acid (0.48–1.1 mg/100 g DW). The antioxidant contribution of the four phenolic acids increased during ripening. Gallic acid accounted for the highest contribution (39% maximum value), followed by chlorogenic acid (21% maximum value). This could indicate that these phenolic compounds may have an important role in the antioxidant metabolism in ‘Ataulfo’ mango fruit during ripening, and promoting health benefits to consumers.     

Purification and identification of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) peel phenolics with evaluation of antioxidant and antiglycation activities in vitro

The crude rambutan peel phenolic (RPP) extracts were purified by resin adsorption technology. NKA‐9 resin with the best adsorption capacity and desorption ratio was chosen to dynamically purify crude RPP. Adsorption capacity and desorption ratio of NKA‐9 resin were 91.85 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) g^?1 and 90.45%, respectively. Purification processes enriched total phenolic content, and the contents in crude and purified RPP were 579.72 and 877.11 mg GAE g^?1 extract powder, respectively. Phytochemical compounds of RPP were qualitatively and quantitatively indentified by mass spectrometry. Purification of the resin as expected elevated the concentrations of major phenolic compounds, especially geraniin and ellagic acid. Antioxidant and antiglycation activities of crude and purified fractions were evaluated in vitro. Crude and purified RPP had high inhibitory effects on oxidation and glycation, and purified RPP showed stronger bioactivity than crude RPP (P < 0.05), which might be due to their differences in phenolic profiles.     

Phenolic composition,antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of free and bound phenolic extracts of Moringa oleifera seed flour

Phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of defatted Moringa oleifera seed flour (DMF) were investigated. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were measured using colorimetric methods. Free phenolic acid and flavonoid profiles were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, while antioxidant capacities were evaluated using scavenging assays of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power and total antioxidant capacity. The results showed that extractability of phenolic compounds was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in bound phenolic extract (4173.00 ± 32.22 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g) than in free phenolic extract (780.00 ± 14.2 mg GAE/100 g) and it showed higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The IC₅₀ value for DPPH radical scavenging activity was 0.9 ± 0.05 and 14.9 ± 0.07 mg/mL for bound phenolic and free phenolic extracts, respectively. Bound phenolic extract was more effective (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), 0.06–0.157%) than free phenolic extract (MIC, 0.117–0.191%) against tested bacteria. Ten phenolic compounds (gallic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, cinnamic acid, catechin, epicatechin, vanillin and quercetin) were identified and quantified in both extracts. These natural plant phenolics from Moringa seeds could be a good source of antioxidants and antibacterials for food and pharmaceutical industries.     

In Vitro Hypoglycemic Activity of the Phenolic Compounds in Longan Fruit (Dimocarpus longan var. Fen Ke) Shell Against α-Glucosidase and β-Galactosidase

The in vitro hypoglycemic effect of longan fruit (Dimocarpus longan var. Fen Ke) shell extracts was evaluated by inhibiting α-glucosidase and β-galactosidase activities. The IC₅₀ values of hot water and 50% ethanol ultrasonic extracts against the α-glucosidase were 9.2 and 13.4 mg/mL, and those against the β-galactosidase were 12.9 and 19.7 mg/mL, respectively. The hot water extracts (20 mg/mL) with aid of ultrasound-assisted extraction may enhance the inhibitory rates of α-glucosidase and β-galactosidase by 10.6 and 12.0% as compared with conventional extraction, respectively. Two phenolic compounds, gallic acid and ellagic acid, were identified as the major phenolic in hot water extracts from longan fruit shell against α-glucosidase and β-galactosidase. Inhibition of α-glucosidase and β-galactosidase were proven to be as a therapeutic approach for decreasing postprandial hyperglycemia. As a result, the longan fruit shell extracts may develop to be as a potential strategy for early treatment of postprandial hyperglycemia.
