Purification and bioassay-guided fractionation were employed to isolate proanthocyanidins with antioxidant activity from peanut skin (Arachis hypogaea Runner 886). The crude extract was prepared acetone (60% v/v) purified using chromatographic methods, including a semipreparative HPLC technique. As result, two isolated identified NMR, epicatechin-(2 β → O 7, 4 8)-catechin (proanthocyanidin A1) epicatechin-(β 2 8)-epicatechin A2). Despite the structural similarity, differences observed in...

Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa exhibits high content of phenolic compounds, among which trans ‐resveratrol stands out, associated with several bioactive activities such as antioxidant properties. Chocolate contains reduced amounts these compounds due to losses during the production process. Therefore, this study aimed assess changes in total content, and specifically ‐resveratrol, well activity cocoa its products industrial chocolate. RESULTS A ten different were analyzed. The processes...
