          Abstract

          Durango es uno de los estados con mayor riqueza forestal, siendo el pino el género dominante en sus bosques, de ahí el interés por evaluar química y biológicamente extractos de acículas de Pinus cooperi (COO), P durangensis (DUR), P engelmanii (ENG) y P teocote (TEO). Se practicaron extracciones sucesivas con acetona y metanol acuosos de acículas de pino desengrasadas previamente con hexano, en las cuales DUR y ENG mostraron respectivamente los mejores rendimientos. Los valores más altos del contenido de fenoles totales fueron los extraíbles acetónicos de TEO y los metanólicos de ENG. Se realizó una purificación cromatográfica a los extraíbles acetónicos de TEO, generando cinco fracciones; F3-TEO con 489,6 EC presentó el mayor contenido fenólico. Los extractos acetónicos y metanólicos de TEO y la fracción purificada F3-TEO presentaron la mayor concentración de taninos condensados. En el ensayo de DPPH, los extractos más relevantes según su concentración efectiva media (CE50) fueron los acetónicos de TEO (223,5 ppm) y las fracciones F3-TEO (145,0 ppm) y F4-TEO (150,8 ppm). De manera similar, en el ensayo de ABTS, los extractos de TEO en acetona (27,7%) y en metanol (18,2%), así como las fracciones F3-TEO (60,1%) y F4-TEO (55,8%) mostraron la supresión más elevada de la oxidación. En el ensayo de la oxidación de LDL, la mayor actividad inhibitoria fue mostrada por extractos acetónicos, particularmente por ENG (99,4%) a una concentración de 90 ppm. Los extractos acetónicos de TEO y de ENG presentan potencial como fuente de polifenoles bioactivos.

          Coniferous trees are a vast resource in Durango, Mexico forests and a potential nontimber source of these chemicals, thus, our study for analyzing phenolic content and biological activity in needle extracts from Pinus cooperi (COO), P. durangensis (DUR), P. engelmanii (ENG) and P. teocote (TEO). Pine needles were dewaxed with hexane and extracted with aqueous acetone and methanol. DUR and ENG extracts showed the higher yields, while acetone TEO and methanol ENG extracts showed the highest catechin equivalent (CE) contents. A partial chromatographic purification on acetone TEO extracts produced five fractions, the third one (F3-TEO) had the highest phenolic content (489,6 CE). In condensed tannins contents, acetone and methanol TEO extracts, as well fraction F3-TEO were the best (24,3, 15.7 and 44,4 mg/g extract, respectively). In DPPH activity, the more effective CE50 were obtained from TEO acetone extract (223,5 ppm) and fractions F3-TEO (145,0 ppm) and F4-TEO (150,8 ppm). In ABTS assay, TEO acetone (27,7%) and methanolic (18,2%) extracts, and fractions F3-TEO (60,1%) and F4-TEO (55,8%) were the best. In LDL assay the highest inhibitory activity was shown by acetone extracts, particularly ENG (99,4%) at 90 ppm. Therefore acetone extracts from TEO and ENG may have utilization as a potential source of bioactive phenolics.

              Determination of total content of phenolic compounds and their antioxidant activity in vegetables--evaluation of spectrophotometric methods.

              This research studies in detail the contents of phenolic compounds determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and the antioxidant activities determined by the TEAC (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity), DPPH (using diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl radical), and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) methods, and their correlations for used standards with these methods (catechine, gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, Trolox, ascorbic acid, and ferrous sulfate) and extracts from several species of commonly consumed vegetables were studied in detail. The comparison of absolute values of absorption coefficients for used standards and for individual methods allows one to choose optimal common standards for methods to be compared. The procedures applied for the same sets of the extracts using identical calibration procedures and common standards allowed better comparison of the results obtained by the TEAC, DPPH, and FRAP methods. The values of content of phenolic substances and total antioxidant activity of the sets of samples correlate very well for all used methods. The very high values of antioxidant activity were found in intensely colored vegetables (red cabbage, red onion, etc.), and the values were very low in watery vegetables such as potato, marrow, and cucumber.
