Antioxidant Activity of Nontocopherol Hazelnut (Corylus spp.) Phenolics
نویسنده
چکیده
Hazelnuts were investigated for the presence of antioxidant compounds other than tocopherol. Hazelnuts from 2 regions were extracted with methanol:water (2:1 ; v/v). Extracts were subjected to either acid or alkaline hydrolysis but neither improved the separation quality during high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Nonhydrolyzed extracts of hazelnut had greater antioxidant activity in comparison to hydrolyzed extracts. The 1st 10 minute eluent in the HPLC had greater antioxidant activity relative to the later eluting fractions. Gallic acid, p-hydroxyl benzoic acid, caffeic acid and/or epicatechin, sinapic acid, and quercetin were tentatively identified using HPLC.

Iran has suitable conditions for cultivating high-quality varieties of hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.). Most of hazelnut orchards in Iran have been established by planting native genotypes. Aspergillus flavus Link. (AF) is a filamentous fungus affecting hazelnut kernels in orchards and during storage conditions. The most widely explored strategy for reducing aflatoxin contamin...

Turkey is the biggest producer of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) in the world, with a total cultivation area of more than 600,000 hectares, a total annual yield over 800,000 tonnes, and an average yield of around 1.2 tonnes ha in 2008 (FAO, 2008). Several bio-constraints negatively affect hazelnut production, such as pests, diseases and weeds (Anonymous, 1995). Among them Pestalotiopsis guepini...

In Europe, hazelnuts (Corylus avellana) are a frequent cause of food allergies. Several important hazelnut allergens have been previously identified and characterized. Specific N-glycans are known to induce strong IgE responses of uncertain clinical relevance, but so far the allergenic potential of glycoproteins from hazelnut has not been investigated. The aim of the study was the molecular cha...
