Fractionation processes based on physical separation are a good strategy to produce enriched cereal flours. Therefore, the aim of this work is to evaluate the suitability of sieving of buckwheat flours to produce protein and phenolic (especially rutin) enriched fractions. Because of that, dehulled whole buckwheat flour (GSTQ) was sieved obtaining fractions with a particle size of 215 µm, 160 µm, 85 µm, and 45 µm (GS215, GS160, GS85, and GS45). For that purpose, the determination of protein, ash, and total starch content and free and bound phenolic compounds was carried out. The highest content of total phenolic compounds was obtained in GS215 (3118.84 mg kg−1 d.w.), followed by GS160 (2499.11 mg kg−1 d.w.), GS85 (989.46 mg kg−1 d.w.), GSTQ (983.15 mg kg−1 d.w.), and GS45 (481.31 mg kg−1 d.w.). Therefore, the phenolic content decreased with the particle size decrease from 215 µm to 45 µm. Besides, there were no significant differences between the total phenolic content in GS85 and GSTQ. The fraction with 215 µm reported the highest protein and mineral salt content and presented rutin amounts four times higher than GSTQ.

Objective: This research used the Pressurized Liquid Extraction process (PLE) to obtain cambuci extracts rich in phenolic compounds and, consequently, with high antioxidant activity. Methods: We determined the centesimal composition and the mean particle size of the dried and crushed sample for characterization of the fixed bed extractor. Extractions with pressurized ethanol were performed following a Central Composite Design (CCD) with temperature (60 °C at the center point with ± 10 °C amplitude) and the contact time between the solvent and the matrix (6 min at the center point with ± 2 min amplitude) as independent variables in the process. The Total Phenolic Content (TPC) of compounds and antioxidant activity were determined. Results: The mean particle size of the cambuci in the PLE was 263.4 μm with apparent and real densities of 32.42 g/cm3 and 1.62 g/cm3, respectively, resulting in a fixed bed porosity of 0.43. The centesimal composition of the comminuted and dried sample was 12.5 ± 0.1% moisture, 3.2 ± 0.2% ash, 3.35 ± 0.07% crude protein, 10.32 ± 0.08% crude fiber and 0.35 ± 0.04% ethereal extract. The highest extraction yield (41.7%) was obtained by using the binomial 70 ºC with 8 min of solvent contact in three batches. Extracts with the highest TPC (6501.10 mg AGE/100 g sample) were obtained by the binomial 74 °C with 6 min of contact; the binomial 50 °C with 4 min of contact gave rise to the extract with the highest antioxidant activity. The CCD showed high yield extracts with high antioxidant activity and a high total phenolic compound content. Conclusion: With the use of the proposed experimental design, it was possible to optimize the extraction of total phenolic compounds from the sample.

Moringa oleifera L. have good nutritional content including phenolic compounds which can be used as antioxidants and can grow in lowlands and highlands. The purpose of this study was to determine the total phenolic content of the ethanol extract of M. oleifera leaves with variations in the area of ​​collection. The 50% ethanol extract was obtained from the simplicia of M. oleifera leaves by using the maceration method. Analysis of total phenolic content in the extract was carried out using a spectrophotometer instrument with the addition of reagent Folin-Ciocalteu and gallic acid as standard. The results of total phenolic content in Sleman, Wonosari, and Wonosobo areas were (127.87 ± 2.71) mg GAE / g extract, (99.40 ± 2.68) mg GAE / g extract, and (142 , 92 ± 1.81) mg GAE / g extract. The highest phenolic content in the ethanol extract of moringa leaves was found in Wonosobo areas.

Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has been nutritionally highlighted when compared to other grains. In recent years the research on this pseudocereal has increased. In this work, six quinoa samples were studied: three from Peru, one from Brazil and two commercial samples. The samples were physically and physicochemically characterized, including macro- and micronutrient analysis, phenolic compounds content and antioxidant activity. Black, red and white samples showed as main difference the size, weight, ashes and dietary fibre content. Black samples were the smallest and lightest and had the lowest starch content but presented the highest levels of ashes and dietary fibre. The protein content (16.9 %) in the white Brazilian variety was higher than the others. Red and black samples had the highest levels of most minerals analysed. The antioxidant capacity measured by the DPPH method was higher for black and red samples in comparison with the white ones. However, the white Brazilian variety showed a significantly higher antioxidant capacity measured by the ABTS assay. With regard to the phenolic content, a difference was found between the samples which ranged from 55.5 to 95.5 g GAE 100 g−1. The colour of the grain was found as not related to a higher content of phenolic compounds. Because their compositions are generally similar to light-coloured grains, and in some parameters such as dietary fibre and content of some micronutrients are superior, the grains of dark-coloured quinoa varieties (RPP, BCP) would have to be explored to develop foods that take advantage of this colour diversity.

This study describes the determination of some phenolic compounds in four different vegetables of Kerman in Iran including Carrots, Celery, Lettuce and red cabbage .The  phenolic compounds analyzed were (Ascorbate, Ferulic acid, Naringin) using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPUPLC). The results of analysis showed in vegetables ranged between 90 and 1080mg /kg. A high and significant correlation between antioxidant activity and total phenolic content was determined in vegetables (r2 = 0.9461 P < 0.06). However, flavonoid content was not significantly correlated with antioxidant activity in vegetables. It was observed that total phenolic content is the major contributor to the antioxidant activity of vegetables.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v9i5.12712

The study focused on the determination of phenolic acids, flavonoids and organic acids in five tulip cultivars ‘Barcelona’, ‘Columbus’, ‘Strong Gold’, ‘Super Parrot’ and ‘Tropicana’. The cultivars grown in field and in a greenhouse were exposed after cutting to different times of storage (0, 3 and 6 days). The phenolic profile contained 4-hydroxybenzoic, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic, gallic, vanillic, syringic, salicylic, protocatechuic, trans-cinnamic, p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, chlorogenic and sinapic acids, as well as quercetin, rutin, luteonin, catechin and vitexin. The mean phenolic acid content was in the following order: ‘Columbus’ and ‘Tropicana’ > ’Barcelona’ > ’Strong Gold’ > ’Super Parrot’, while the levels of flavonoids were as follows: ‘Strong Gold’ > ’Barcelona’ > ’Tropicana’ > ’Columbus’ > ’Super Parrot’. The highest content of phenolic acids was confirmed for Columbus and Tropicana, while the lowest was for Super Parrot. However total phenolic content was very similar, observed between the place of cultivation, time of storage and cultivars. Malonic, succinic, acetic and citric acids were the major organic acid components in tulip petals. More organic acids (except malonic) were accumulated in tulip petals from fields than those from the greenhouse, while changes during storage were strictly correlated with cultivars.

This work aims the development of an analytical alternative to determine phenolic compounds in fruits exploiting a greener microwave-assisted extraction and photometric detection by smartphone-based colorimetry. Acerola cherry (Malpighia emarginata) was selected as a model and the extraction was optimized by the Doehlert design, taking into account temperature, solvent composition, and extraction time. The Folin–Ciocalteau method was used to determine total phenolic content in the extracts, with a 5-fold reduction in reagent amount and waste generation. The optimal extraction was achieved with 17% v/v ethanol, at 38 °C, for 50 min. The total phenolic content determined by the proposed procedure (146 ± 4 mg GAE g−1 dry weight) agreed with the reference procedure (145.0 ± 0.7 mg GAE g−1 dry weight) at the 95% of confidence level. Due to these characteristics, the proposed approach is an alternative for screening fruits in research with bioactive compounds.
