葡萄酒中酚类物质抗氧化活性及构效关系

<正>酚类物质是芳香环上连有一个或多个羟基的低分子量有机化合物,其不但决定了葡萄酒的口感、色泽、贮藏寿命及稳定性,而且具有很强的抗氧化活性。葡萄酒中酚类物质对机体的防御作用归功于它特有的化学结构——酚羟基结构,它们具有供电子作用,通过提供活泼的氢捕捉机体内活性氧等自由基,阳断了自由基对机体的损伤。另外,葡萄酒中酚类物质也具有络合过渡金属离子能力、激活抗氧化酶的活性、减少α-生育酚自由基及降低氧化酶活性的能力。然而,尽管现在不同实验模式已证实了酚类化合物的这种多功效作用,但对于它们的构效关系的描述还不尽一致,因此,本文总结了酚类化合物(以类黄酮酚为例,见图1)在自由基清除作用和金属离子络合作用中关键的化学结构特征及影响,以旨为葡萄酒中酚类物质构效关系研究提供理论参考。

Phenolic Compounds Antioxidants in Wine and Structure-activity Relationships

It is an important role of phenolic compounds in wine not only for wine quality, but also with significant antioxidant and chelating properties. Their cardioprotective effects stem from the ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation, chelate redox-active metals, and attenuate other processes involving reactive oxygen species. Phenolic compounds occur in grape and wine primarily asglycosides and polymers that are degraded to variable extents in the digestive tract. The propensity of phenolic compounds grape and wine to inhibit free-radical mediated events is governed by its chemical structure.
