Abstract The composition of propolis, a resinous hive product collected by honeybees from various plant sources, depends on various factors such as season and vegetation of the area. Based on standards (either isolated from Brazilian propolis or reported from propolis) including chromane, diterpenes and phenolic compounds, different Brazilian propolis were analysed by LC-MS in order to determine their chemical constituents. Dicaffeoylquinic acids were detected in almost all water extracts of Brazilian propolis, whereas diterpenes, flavonoids and prenylated phenolic compounds were found in their methanol extracts. Based on the identified chemical constituents and their biological activities, it was determined that the quality of Brazilian propolis could be directly related to the phenolic constituents. Moreover, Baccharis dracunculifolia was concluded to be an important source of Brazilian propolis. Propolis samples from Peru, China and the Netherlands were also studied.

Methodology Optimization for Quantification of Total Phenolics and Individual Phenolic Acids in Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Roots

JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 7 2007
M.S. Padda
ABSTRACT:, Phenolic acids are one of the several classes of naturally occurring antioxidant compounds found in sweetpotatoes. Simplified, robust, and rapid methodologies were optimized to quantify total and individual phenolic acids in sweetpotato roots. Total phenolic acid content was quantified spectrophotometrically using both Folin,Denis and Folin,Ciocalteu reagents. The Folin,Ciocalteu reagent gave an overestimation of total phenolic acids due to the absorbance of interfering compounds (that is, reducing sugars and ascorbic acid). Individual phenolic acids were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using the latest in column technology. Four reversed-phase C18 analytical columns with different properties (dimensions, particle size, particle shape, pore size, and carbon load) were compared. Three different mobile phases using isocratic conditions were also evaluated. A column (4.6 × 150 mm) packed with 5-,m spherical silica particles of pore size 110 Å combined with 14% carbon load provided the best and fast separation of individual phenolic acids (that is, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and 3 isomers of dicaffeoylquinic acid) with a total analysis time of less than 7 min. Among the 3 mobile phases tested, a mobile phase consisting of 1% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution: acetonitrile: 2-propanol, pH 2.5 (70:22:8, v/v/v) gave adequate separation. Among the solvents tested, aqueous mixtures (80:20, solvent:water) of methanol and ethanol provided higher phenolic acid extraction efficiency than the aqueous mixture of acetone. [source]

Identification of isomeric dicaffeoylquinic acids from Eleutherococcus senticosus using HPLC-ESI/TOF/MS and 1H-NMR methods

PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS, Issue 6 2002

Abstract Liquid chromatography,electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI/TOF/MS) and a novel NMR technique, developed to maximise the sensitivity obtained from the standard NMR spectrometer, have been applied to the identification of the phenolic constituents of Eleutherococcus senticosus. In addition, molecular modelling and dihedral bond angle calculations based on the vicinal 3JHH -coupling constants have been used in the unambiguous assignment of signals in the 1H-NMR spectra. 5,- O -Caffeoylquinic acid and three isomeric compounds, 1,,5,- O -dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,,5,- O -dicaffeoylquinic acid and 4,,5,- O -dicaffeoylquinic acid, have been isolated and identified from a sample. The isolation and structure determination of the latter two compounds are reported for the first time from this plant. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
