The polyphenol profile of two Tunisian varieties of dates including flavanols, flavonols, flavones, and hydroxycinnamates was characterized. Three tissue zones (flesh, peel, and stone) and three maturity stages were considered. Phenolic compounds were analyzed using reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to UV-visible and electrospray mass spectrometry. Procyanidin oligomers and polymers were characterized and quantified using phloroglucinolysis prior to HPLC analysis. Procyanidin polymers based on (-)-epicatechin structure were by far the most concentrated polyphenols in ripe dates, accounting for 95% of total polyphenols with an average concentration of 14 g/kg in the fresh edible parts of the fruit. Interestingly, procyanidins were also highly concentrated in the stones. The concentration and average degree of polymerization (DPn) of the procyanidins decreased according to maturity. Other phenolics, including caffeoylshikimic acid hexoside, caffeoyl-sinapoyl monohexoside and dihexoside, and acetylated flavonols, were tentatively identified for the first time in the fruit.
本文对两种突尼斯枣品种的多酚组成进行了研究,包括黄烷醇、黄酮醇、黄酮和羟基肉桂酸。研究了三个组织区域(果肉、果皮和果核)和三个成熟阶段。采用反相高效液相色谱法与紫外可见分光光度法和电喷雾质谱法联用对酚类化合物进行了分析。在 HPLC 分析之前,使用间苯三酚裂解法对原花青素低聚物和聚合物进行了表征和定量。基于(-)-儿茶素结构的原花青素聚合物是成熟枣中最集中的多酚,占总多酚的 95%,在新鲜可食用部分的果实中平均浓度为 14 g/kg。有趣的是,原花青素在果核中也高度集中。原花青素的浓度和平均聚合度(DPn)随着成熟度的增加而降低。其他酚类化合物,包括咖啡酰莽草酸己糖苷、咖啡酰丁香酰单己糖苷和二己糖苷以及乙酰化黄酮醇,首次在果实中被鉴定出来。
