POLYPHENOL COLORATION OBJECTIVES 1 Polyphenols classification and representatives
POLYPHENOL COLORATION OBJECTIVES 1. Polyphenols – classification and representatives; 2. Non-enzymatic polyphenol coloration; 3. Enzymatic polyphenol coloration;
POLYPHENOL COLORATION 1 Polyphenol coloration (non-enzymatic) – mostly due to complexation with metal cations, changes of the р. Н, disintegration or formation of some pigments during food processing. Polyphenol coloration (enzymatic) – due to action of polyphenol oxidases (PPO). Type of polyphenols Structure Type С 6 Simple phenols С 6 – С 1 Phenolic acids and aldehydes С 6 – С 2 Derivatives of phenylacetic acid and acetophenone С 6 – С 3 Derivatives of cinnamic acid С 6 – С 3 Coumarins and isocoumarins С 6 – С 3 – С 6 Flavonoids С 6–С 1–С 6; С 6–С 2–С 6 Benzophenons, xanthons and stilbenes С 6, С 10, С 14 Quinones Dimers and oligomers Lignans Polymer Lignin Dimers and oligomers Tannins !

POLYPHENOL COLORATION 4 Lignans and lignin coniferyl alcohol р-coumaril alcohol Oligomeric and polymeric structures Sinapyl alcohol
POLYPHENOL COLORATION 5 Flavonoids General structure: γ-benzopyron linked to benzene ring flavonoids isoflavonoids neoflavonoids
POLYPHENOL COLORATION 6 Flavonoids Depending from the degree of saturation of the heterocycle (O-containing ring) the flavonoids could be: 1). Derivatives of phenylbenzo-γ-pyron (flavons, flavonols, flavanols and flavanonols) 2). Derivatives of phenylbenzo-γ-pyran (flavan-3 -ols, anthocyanindins and flavan-3, 4 -diols) Flavons luteolin apigenin
POLYPHENOL COLORATION 7 Flavonoids Flavonols beside the characteristic for the flavons keto-groups and C=C bond have OH group at 3 rd place. Flavonols are much more distributed in nature than flavons. kaempferol quercetin myricetin
POLYPHENOL COLORATION 8 Flavonoids Flavanons The flavanons have keto-group but didn’t have C=C bond in the heterocycle naringenin Flavanonols taxifolin
POLYPHENOL COLORATION Flavonoids Flavan-3 -ols (cathehins) The name cathehin comes from catechu, which is the tannic juice or boiled The name cathehin comes from extract of Mimosa catechu (Acacia catechu L. f). The cathehins could form esters with gallic acid – esterification of the OH group at 3’ position cathehin gallocathehin 9
POLYPHENOL COLORATION 10 Flavonoids Flavan-3, 4 -diols (leucoanthocyanidins) The leucoanthocyanidins are synthesized from flavanonols by reduction of the ketogroup. They are found in the wood where they play a role in forming the condensed tannins. leucocyanidin leucodelphinidin
! POLYPHENOL COLORATION 11 Flavonoids Anthocyanidins In the nature the most often found are 6 anthocyanidins which after glycosylation give a great variety of anthocyanins (glycosides of anthocyanidins). They have pronounced Pvitamin activity, lower the fragility and permeability of the capillary. They have anti inflammatory, hypotonic and collagen-stabilizing action. The anthocyanins intake is beneficial for the capillary system and improvement of the vision. They play important role in the collagen crosslinking and inhibit its enzymatic degradation during inflammatory processes. Anthocyanins are applied successfully for prophylaxis and treatment of glaucoma and other ophthalmic diseases. In model systems extracts rich in anthocyanins show cardio-protective effect and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

POLYPHENOL COLORATION Complexation and color formation The flavonoids – found in almost all fruits and vegetables. Complexation with metals like Fe 3+, Ca 2+, Al 3+, Sn 2+, Cu 2+ are the reason for coloration. Fe 3+ - the complexes with tannins are used for tannins measurements in beers. The observed coloration of potatoes after boiling – complexation of Fe 3+ with ophenols. Sometimes coloration of processed cauliflower – complexes of Fe 2+ kaempferol and quercetin. The canned cauliflower could give yellow colored complexes with tin. Formation of pink coloration (pinking) of pears and peaches after thermal treatments (and subsequent slow cooling) – due to formation of cyanidin complexes with copper, iron and zinc.

POLYPHENOL COLORATION Complexation and color formation Coloration of canned asparagus shoots (dark-greenish to black) – complexes of rutin (quercetin-3 -O-rutinoside) with Fe 2+ (EDTA or presence of Sn 2+ - eliminate the coloration problems). Generally use of sequestrants is the solution for complexation of polyphenols with metals and obtaining of unusual coloration or discoloration The formation of the color of ripe olives – dark-brown to black is due to formation of oxidative products of flavonoids (luteolin 7 -glycoside). Other compounds responsible: peonidin-3 -glucoside, cyanidin-3 -rhamnoglucoside (acylated with caffeic acide), hydroxytyrosol, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, pcoumaric acid etc. 13

POLYPHENOL COLORATION 18 Degradation of antocyanins Polymeric brown degradation products Glycoside bonds and presence of sugars – stabilizing effect on anthocyanins; but the products formed (cyclic aldehydes, carbonyls) when Maillard reaction takes place lead to condensation reaction with anthocyanins and formation of brown colored products
