Phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of culms and sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) products
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work reports amounts of flavonoids and phenylpropanoids of culms of three sugarcane varieties and of raw juice, syrup, molasse and VHP sugar. The antioxidant activity of those materials was evaluated by the DPPH and b-carotene/linoleic acid methods. The predominant phenolics in culms were phenylpropanoids (caffeic, chlorogenic and coumaric acids), while flavones (apigenin, tricin and luteolin derivatives) appeared in lower amounts. Differences were noted either among phenolic profiles of sugarcane culms or between culms and sugarcane products. The antioxidant activities of solutions from most samples were similar or higher than a 80 lM Trolox solution. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: Sugarcane is widely consumed by people of the tropics and subtropics. Antioxidants in concentrated sugarcane extracts extracted from sugarcane products using resins are highly stable, and their antioxidant activity is not significantly reduced by prolonged heating or clarification. Methods and Results: This study investigated the extraction processing and evaluated the antioxidant a...
متن کاملAntioxidant and nitrite-scavenging capacities of phenolic compounds from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) tops.
Sugarcane tops were extracted with 50% ethanol and fractionated by petroleum ether, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and n-butyl alcohol successively. Eight phenolic compounds in EtOAc extracts were purified through silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies, and then identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectra. The results showed that eight phenolic compo...
