In the French West Indies, to cope with the yam disease anthracnose, new hybrids were selected for their resistance to this disease. However, some of them have quality flaws. The new hybrids of Dioscorea alata exhibited contrasted susceptibility to browning in relation to their total phenolic content (r = 0.91). The detailed polyphenol profiles of “INRA15”, highly susceptible to browning, and of “Kabusah”, with moderate susceptibility to this flaw, were achieved by HPLC coupled to UV-Visible and mass spectrometry. For the first time, total procyanidins of yam were finely characterized and quantified using HPLC after phloroglucinolysis, revealing that those compounds are by far the main polyphenols in the two cultivars. Differences in terms of browning susceptibilities of the two cultivars are clearly explained by their contrasted polyphenol profiles: (i) absence vs. presence of catechin which is a substrate of polyphenol oxidase (PPO). – (ii) significant differences in procyanidin levels and in their average d.p. potentially involved in PPO inhibition. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (2R,2’R,3R,3’R,4R)-2,2′-Bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-[4,8′-bichromane]-3,3′,5,5′,7,7′-hexaol (cas: 29106-49-8Electric Literature of C30H26O12).
(2R,2’R,3R,3’R,4R)-2,2′-Bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-[4,8′-bichromane]-3,3′,5,5′,7,7′-hexaol (cas: 29106-49-8) belongs to alcohols. Similar to water, an alcohol can be pictured as having an sp3 hybridized tetrahedral oxygen atom with nonbonding pairs of electrons occupying two of the four sp3 hybrid orbitals. A multistep synthesis may use Grignard-like reactions to form an alcohol with the desired carbon structure, followed by reactions to convert the hydroxyl group of the alcohol to the desired functionality.Electric Literature of C30H26O12
