Composição do conteúdo de ácidos fenólicos no bagaço de maçã (Malus sp)

Abstract

The present work aimed the study of phenolic acids composition in apple pomace of Gala and Fuji cultivars. Phenolic acids were fractionated in phenolic acids, esterified and insoluble and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Sixteen phenolic acids were identified in apple pomace samples. Total phenolic acids in apple pomace from Gala and Fuji cultivars were, in dry weight, 93.94 mg/ g and 68.38 mg/g, respectively. Content of free phenolic acids in apple pomace from Gala cultivar was 29.11 mg/g and the following acids were identified: salicylic, protocatequinic, quinic, p-coumaric, gallic, propylgallate and synapic. Content of free phenolic acids in apple pomace from Fuji cultivar was 16.03 mg/g and the following acids were identified: salicylic, protocatequinic, gallic, ferulic and sinapic. Salicylic was the predominant free phenolic acids found in both cultivars, consisting of 91.67% and 63.57% of the free phenolic acids in Gala and Fuji cultivars, respectively. Chlorogenic acid (1.147 mg/g) was found only in apple pomace from Fuji cultivar. Content of esterified phenolic acids in apple pomace from Gala and Fuji cultivars were 53.75 mg/g and 48.29 mg/g, respectively. It was verified that the predominant esterified phenolic acid in pomace from apple Gala is derived from salicylic acid (52.76 mg/g). Acids derived from gallic acid (0.175 mg/g), propylgallate acid (0.198 mg/g), ferulic acid (0.159 mg/g) and sinapic acid (0.140 mg/g) were also found in Gala cultivar. Regarding to pomace from cultivar Fuji, the main esterified phenolic acid found is also derived from salicylic acid (47.42 mg/g) followed by gallic acid (0.270 mg/g), benzoic acid (0.194 mg/g) and sinapic acid (0.115 mg/g). Content of insoluble phenolic acids in apple pomace from Gala and Fugi cultivars were, in dry weight, 11.08 mg/g and 4.05 mg/g, respectively. Insoluble phenolic acids derived from salicylic acid were found in higher concentrations in apple pomace from both cultivars.

Os ácidos fenólicos foram fracionados em ácidos fenólicos, esterificados e insolúveis e analisados por cromatografia a gás e espectrometria de massa (CG-MS). Foram identificados dezesseis ácidos fenólicos nas amostras de bagaço de maçã. Os teores de ácidos fenólicos totais nos bagaços de maçã dos cultivares Gala e Fuji foram respectivamente 93,94 e 68,38 mg/g (massa seca). O conteúdo de ácidos fenólicos livres no bagaço de maçã Gala foi 29,11 mg/g, sendo identificados os ácidos salicílico, protocatequínico, quínico, p-cumárico, gálico, propilgalato, sináptico. O teor de ácidos fenólicos livres no bagaço de maçã Fuji foi 16,03 mg/g, sendo identificados cinco (salicílico, protocatequínico, gálico, ferúlico, sináptico). O ácido salicílico foi o ácido fenólico livre predominante nas amostras de bagaço de maçã Gala e Fuji, constituindo 91,67% e 63,57% dos ácidos fenólicos livres, respectivamente. O á...

Quality Control of Fresh-Cut Apples after Coating Application

“…Apples, as well as many other vegetable products, represent a source of healthy compounds, such as phenols, molecules associated with antioxidant activity [38]. Chlorogenic, p-coumaric and caffeic acid, as well as quercetin, epicatechin, catechin, rutin, phlorizin are among the main phenolic compounds present in apples [39].…”

Effect of incremental levels of apple pomace and multi enzyme on performance, immune response, gut development and blood biochemical parameters of broiler chickens

“…Apple by-products are known as a rich source of polyphenolic compounds (Soares et al 2008), and these compounds are able to protect LDL lipids from oxidative stress and enhance their resistance to damage happened by oxidants (Noll et al 2009). The findings of Nobakht (2013) showed that inclusion of different levels of dried lemon pulp just affected LDL concentration in blood serum of broilers (P < 0.05).…”

Variability in Catechin and Rutin Contents and Their Antioxidant Potential in Diverse Apple Genotypes

“…Polyphenolic compounds are responsible for the aroma and organoleptic properties of apples. Phenolic acids in apples are subdivided into benzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic acids [ 11 , 12 ]. Flavonoids possess a nucleus comprising two phenolic rings and oxygenated heterocycle compounds, and they can be categorized into different types, e.g., anthocyanins, flavonols, flavanols (e.g., catechins), flavones, and chalcones [ 13 ].…”
