Changes in Phenolic Compounds During Plum Processing

Natural antimicrobials from plants

“…Indeed the antimicrobial action of the naturally occurring phenolics from olives, tea and coffee have been studied in more detail than those from other sources (see Table 4.3) (Toda et al, 1989(Toda et al, , 1991Diker et al, 1991;Table 4.3 Naturally occurring phenols and phenolic compounds from different plants; Oleaceae (1), skin and seeds of wine grapes (2), avocado (3), tea (4), spices (5), Brassica oilseeds (6), artichoke (7), Berberis (8), hops (9), thymol (10), chicory (11), vanilla (12), sesame oil (13) Based on Ragazzi and Veronese (1967);Vazquez Roncero et al (1974);Fedeli and Camurati (1974);Fedeli (1977), Fleuriet et al (1984); Amiot et al (1986); Gariboldi et al (1986); Robichaud and Noble (1990); Torres et al (1987);Liang et al (1990);Terazawa (1986);Shahidi (1992); Omar (1992); Fu et al (1992); Spanos et al (1990); Babic et al (1993).

“…Based on Fleming et al (1973). Fu et al, 1992;Babic et al, 1993;Tassou, 1993). Moreover, it has been reported that nonenzymatic autoxidative reaction of phenolic compounds (polyphenolic) could occur under certain conditions of storage (Cilliers and Singleton, 1990).…”
