Utilization of Biomass Resources(II) Analysis of Polyphenol Components and Antioxidative Activities from Chestnut Inner Bark

For the utilization of chestnut inner bark as forest biomass, this studies have been carried out cleary investigated about phenolic compounds from the diethyl ether solubles and ethyl acetate solubles of hot water extract from chestnut inner bark. 3 compound were isolated and their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. They were known compounds, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4,5-trihydrixybenzoic acid and catechin. Electron donating ability (EDA) of 3 compounds were investigated. Gallic acid and catechin were found to higher EDA than control, ascorbic acid and $\alpha$-tocopherol in 10 ppm, and especially gallic acid has very higher EDA, 21 times than ascorbic acid. This gallic acid of chemical structure were substituted with free phenolic hydroxyl groups at meta and para position. It was supposed that phenolic hydroxyl groups in chemical structure was a EDA factor.

Biomass 자원의 활용(II) 율추로부터 폴리페놀 성분의 분석과 항산화활성

임산바이오매스 자원 이용의 일환으로 율추(栗皺) 열수추출물의 디에틸에테르 가용부 및 초산에틸 가용부로부터 칼럼크로마토그래피 등을 이용하여 3종의 물질을 단리하여 화학구조를 동정한 결과, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid 그리고 (+)-catechin을 확인하였다. 이들 단리화합물의 항산화활성을 DPPH 라디칼 전자공여능(EDA)으로 측정한 결과, 10 ppm에서 화합물 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (gallic acid)와 (+)-catechin은 대조구인 ascorbic acid와 $\alpha$-tocopherol 보다 높게 나타났고, 특히 화합물 gallic acid는 ascorbic acid보다 약 21배, $\alpha$-tocopherol보다 약 6배 높게 나타났으며 화합물 catechin보다 약 2.7배 높게 나타났다.
