Total Phenolics of Virgin Olive Oils Highly Correlate with the Hydrogen Atom Transfer Mechanism of Antioxidant Capacity

Polar extracts of extra‐virgin olive oils (EVOO) contain a large number of phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. The antioxidant capacity can be measured by different reaction mechanisms, as the single electron transfer (SET) or the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). In this work, the total phenolic content (TPC) by the Folin‐Ciocalteu method and its correlation with four antioxidant capacity assays (FRAP, ABTS, DPPH^? and ORAC) were evaluated for EVOO polar extracts. It was observed that the higher the total phenolic compounds in the EVOO extracts, the higher the antioxidant capacities, regardless of the method employed. The reaction mechanism observed for TPC by Folin‐Ciocalteu method and also for FRAP, ABTS and DPPH^? antioxidant capacity assays is a single electron transfer, thus, a high correlation among their results is expected. However, the correlation between TPC and ORAC results was also high and significant, allowing to conclude that EVOO phenolic compounds are able to react by the hydrogen atom transfer mechanism, which indicates that they can act as effective radical chain‐breaking antioxidants. These results suggest that, for the EVOO polar extracts, TPC by Folin‐Ciocalteu and ORAC assays could be sufficient to evaluate their in vitro antioxidant capacity.     

Pine Bark and Green Tea Concentrated Extracts: Antioxidant Activity and Comprehensive Characterization of Bioactive Compounds by HPLC–ESI-QTOF-MS

The consumption of polyphenols has frequently been associated with low incidence of degenerative diseases. Most of these natural antioxidants come from fruits, vegetables, spices, grains and herbs. For this reason, there has been increasing interest in identifying plant extract compounds. Polymeric tannins and monomeric flavonoids, such as catechin and epicatechin, in pine bark and green tea extracts could be responsible for the higher antioxidant activities of these extracts. The aim of the present study was to characterize the phenolic compounds in pine bark and green tea concentrated extracts using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI-QTOF-MS). A total of 37 and 35 compounds from pine bark and green tea extracts, respectively, were identified as belonging to various structural classes, mainly flavan-3-ol and its derivatives (including procyanidins). The antioxidant capacity of both extracts was evaluated by three complementary antioxidant activity methods: Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Higher antioxidant activity values by each method were obtained. In addition, total polyphenol and flavan-3-ol contents, which were determined by Folin–Ciocalteu and vanillin assays, respectively, exhibited higher amounts of gallic acid and (+)-catechin equivalents.     

Improvement of quality and antioxidant properties of dried mulberry leaves with combined far-infrared radiation and air convection in Thai tea process

Combined far-infrared radiation with hot-air convection (FIR-HA) drying was used for improving colour and antioxidant properties of mulberry leaf tea. Antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds of FIR-HA dried mulberry tea were determined and compared with the commercial product and with fresh leaves. We found that a smaller decrease in L and b values of the FIR-HA dried tea than those of commercial tea was observed. FIR-HA tea was found to have similar colour to fresh leaf while the commercial tea had darker colour. A significant decrease in total phenolic acid content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) was found in hot-air (HA) dried commercial tea compared to fresh leaves, while TPC in FIR-HA dried tea was significantly increased. Similar results were found in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical activities. However, the results were different for ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Both teas had lower FRAP values compared to fresh leaves. Eleven phenolic compounds were identified in fresh leaf and in mulberry tea, namely p-coumaric acid, benzoic acid, (+)-catechin, chlorogenic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, sinapic acid, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid and caffeic acid. The total content of phenolic compounds (TPCC) increased in FIR-HA dried samples compared to those of HA dried tea, except for chlorogenic and syringic acids, which were found in greater amounts in HA dried commercial tea. Our results have demonstrated that FIR-HA should be considered as a suitable drying method for mulberry tea with respect to preserving its antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds.     

Evaluation of natural and synthetic compounds according to their antioxidant activity using a multivariate approach

The antioxidant activity of natural and synthetic compounds was evaluated using five in vitro methods: ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydradzyl (DPPH), oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC), oxidation of an aqueous dispersion of linoleic acid accelerated by azo‐initiators (LAOX), and oxidation of a meat homogenate submitted to a thermal treatment (TBARS). All results were expressed as Trolox equivalents. The application of multivariate statistical techniques suggested that the phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, carnosic acid, genistein and resveratrol), beyond their high antioxidant activity measured by the DPPH, FRAP and TBARS methods, showed the highest ability to react with the radicals in the ORAC methodology, compared to the other compounds evaluated in this study (ascorbic acid, erythorbate, tocopherol, BHT, Trolox, tryptophan, citric acid, EDTA, glutathione, lecithin, methionine and tyrosine). This property was significantly correlated with the number of phenolic rings and catecholic structure present in the molecule. Based on a multivariate analysis, it is possible to select compounds from different clusters and explore their antioxidant activity interactions in food products.     

Cultivar Characterization of Tea Seed Oils by Their Active Components and Antioxidant Capacity

Cultivar characterization of tea seed oils based on their active components and antioxidant capacity was carried out, providing fundamental data for authentication. The seeds were collected from 28 cultivars grown under the same conditions in the region of Anxi county of Fujian province and their oils were analyzed. The results showed that total phenols content (TPC), total flavonoids content, α-tocopherol contents, γ-tocopherol content and δ-tocopherol content were 16.7–529.3 mg GAE/kg of oil, 4.4–208.7 mg rutin/kg of oil, 7.7–347.1 mg/kg of oil, 1.8–106.7 mg/kg of oil, 0.003–35.769 mg/kg of oil, respectively. The antioxidant capacity measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity (DPPH), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), absorbance of protein carbonyl (APC) and the absorbance of protein hydroperoxides (APH) were 91.0–2,164.5 μmol/100 g of oil, 251.0–1,209.5 μmol/100 g of oil, 0.014–0.135, 0.034–0.458, respectively. The correlation analysis revealed that the presence of phenolic compounds was significantly correlated with the antioxidant capacity of tea seed oil. Principal Component Analysis revealed the first three components accounted for 81.31 % of the total variance within the data and the main contributor parameters were DPPH, ORAC, APC, APH and TPC. Hierarchical cluster analysis classified the cultivars into three groups, which were in line with the genetic relationship among the cultivars. Our results supplied basic data for the antioxidant mechanism research of tea seed oil and provided necessary information to develop a breeding program directed to tea seed cultivar selections with the high nutraceutical value of tea seed oil.

Lipid characterization and antioxidant status of the seeds and meals of Camelina sativa and flax

Four different antioxidant activity assays including 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid (ABTS), 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were performed on the methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of Camelina seeds (CS), flaxseeds (FS), Camelina meal low fat (CMLF, 9.9% fat), Camelina meal high fat (CMHF, 24.6% fat), and flaxseed meal (FSM, 2.7% fat). In addition, the fatty acid profile, and phenolic, tocopherol, flavonoid, and glucosinolate contents of CS, FS, CMLF, CMHF, and FSM were studied. The major fatty acid was α‐linolenic acid (C18:3 n‐3) which was 33.2, 29.4, 30.2, 60.1, and 39.3% in CS, CMLF, CMHF, FS, and FSM, respectively. The methanolic extract of CMLF showed the highest values of ABTS, DPPH and FRAP and the highest content of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and glucosinolates. The methanolic and ethylacetate extracts of CMHF showed the highest values for ORAC and α‐ and γ‐tocopherols. The ethylacetate extracts of seeds and meals of Camelina sativa and flax showed lower values for antioxidant activity, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids than the methanolic extracts. In general, Camelina and FS meals showed higher antioxidant activities, and phenolic and flavonoid contents than their respective seeds. Practical applications: Camelina sativa seeds (CS) and flaxseeds (FS) are rich sources of omega 3 oils. Their by‐products after oil extraction are an attractive source of proteins, lipids, fiber, and natural bioactive compounds such as antioxidants. These by‐products may be used to improve nutritional value and prevent lipid oxidation in feed or food systems.

Effect of Different Drying Methods on the Microwave Extraction of Phenolic Components and Antioxidant Activity of Highbush Blueberry Leaves

In the last few decades, researchers have found blueberry leaves to be an interesting source of different phenolic compounds, and drying is an important part of their postharvest and sample preparation processes. In the current study, blueberry leaves were dried using microwave-assisted hot air drying or hot air drying alone at 45, 60, and 75°C to 10–15% wet basis. Corresponding drying characteristics were determined by fitting the moisture ratio obtained in each case with eight theoretical and semitheoretical models for hot air and microwave drying stages. It was observed that best fitting drying models for blueberry leaves depended not only on the nature of the biomaterial but also on the method of drying and the temperature of drying. Phenolic content, monomeric anthocyanin content, and the corresponding antioxidant activity in terms of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition activity and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) activity were evaluated for the leaf extract obtained following microwave extraction of the dried samples obtained using the above-mentioned drying methods and were compared to the corresponding bioactive compositional characteristics of freeze-dried blueberry leaves. It was observed that the freeze-dried sample had the highest content of total phenolics and total monomeric anthocyanins along with high antioxidant activity. Furthermore, extracts obtained from the microwave-dried leaf samples obtained with a drying temperature of 60°C had highest total phenolic content and highest total monomeric anthocyanin content among all other drying methods and the extract had an antioxidant activity similar to the freeze-dried blueberry leaf samples, implying that microwave drying at 60°C is a potential alternative to freeze drying for preservation of the phenolic components and antioxidant activity of dried blueberry leaves.

Comparison of Two Analytical Methods for Assessing Antioxidant Capacity of Rapeseed and Olive Oils

The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods were used for the determination of antioxidant capacities (AC) of rapeseed oils at different steps of technological process and olive oils. The mean ORAC and FRAP results obtained for rapeseed oils (1,106–160 and 552–95.6 μmol TE/100 g) were higher than for olive oils (949–123 and 167–32.1 μmol TE/100 g). Although, FRAP values were lower than ORAC values for all studied oils, there is a linear and significant correlation between these two analytical methods (r = 0.9665 and 0.9298, P < 0.0005) for rapeseed and olive oils, respectively). Also, total phenolic compounds in rapeseed oils and olives correlated with antioxidant capacities (correlation coefficient ranged between 0.9470 and 0.8049). The refining process of rapeseed oils decreased the total phenolics content and antioxidant capacities by about 80%.

Dietary total antioxidant capacity from different assays in relation to serum C-reactive protein among young Japanese women

Background

The association between dietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) from different assays and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has not been assessed in non-Western populations. We examined the association between dietary TAC and serum CRP concentration in young Japanese women using different four TAC assays.

Methods

The subjects were 443 young Japanese women aged 18?C22?years. Dietary TAC was assessed with a self-administered diet history questionnaire and the TAC value of each food using the following four assays: ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP); oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC); Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC); and total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP). Serum CRP concentrations were measured by highly sensitive nephelometry.

Results

The major contributor to dietary TAC was green, barley, and oolong tea (FRAP: 53%, ORAC: 45%, TEAC: 36%, and TRAP: 44%). The prevalence of elevated CRP concentrations (?? 1?mg/L) was 5.6%. TAC from FRAP was inversely associated with serum CRP concentrations (adjusted odds ratio [OR] for elevated CRP concentration in high [compared with low] dietary TAC group: 0.39 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.16-0.98]; P?=?0.04). TAC from ORAC was inversely associated with CRP, although the association was not significant (OR: 0.48 [95% CI: 0.20-1.14]; P?=?0.10). TAC from TEAC was inversely associated with CRP (OR: 0.32 [95% CI: 0.12-0.82]; P?=?0.02), as was TAC from TRAP (OR: 0.31 [95% CI: 0.12-0.81]; P?=?0.02).

Conclusions

Dietary TAC was inversely associated with serum CRP concentration in young Japanese women regardless of assay. Further studies are needed in other populations to confirm these results.
