“…Some of the main phenolics found in hemp include cannflavins A and B, cannabichromene (CBC), and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds have been shown to have potential health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties [ 43 , 44 ]. The solubility of the phenolic compounds found in hemp can vary depending on the specific compound.…”

This study addressed the need for a more accessible and efficient method of analyzing phenolic content in vegetable oils. The research aimed to develop a method that could be widely adopted by both researchers and industry professionals, ultimately revolutionizing the way phenolic content in vegetable oils is analyzed. This study developed a method of determining the total phenolic content (TPC) in vegetable oils using smartphone image analysis in the RGB color model. The method employed a gallic acid calibration solution and demonstrated exceptional determination coefficients for the RGB colors. The R—red color was selected as the basis for the analyses, and the method was statistically equivalent to standard UV/Vis spectrophotometry. The highest TPC was determined in hemp and olive oils, while the lowest was found in rice bran, grapeseed, and macadamia nut oils. This study concluded that smartphone image analysis, mainly using the R component of the RGB color model, was a superior alternative to traditional spectrophotometric methods for determining the TPC in vegetable oils. This innovative approach could revolutionize phenolic content analysis by providing researchers and industry professionals with a cost-effective, safe, and efficient tool. The estimated limit of detection (LOD) of 1.254 mg L−1 and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 3.801 mg L−1 further confirmed the reliability and comparability of the method. With these findings, it was expected that the method would be widely adopted in the future.
