In this study, the effect of continuous assisted extraction (CUAE) and pulsed ultrasound assisted extraction (PUAE) of phenolic compounds from cocoa beans was evaluated. Frequency (25/45 kHz) and extraction time (15/30 min) were varied. Phenolic acids were identified as catechin-(+), epicatechin-(+), procyanidin B1 and procyanidin B2 were quantified on each extract by HPLC-DAD. Then, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC), flavan-3-ols, non-flavonoids content (NF) and proanthocyanidins (PAC) were determined The exptl. findings indicated the highest extraction yields of TPC and flavonoids subclasses when prolonged PUAE was used. Addnl., an increase of 282% in epicatechin yield was obtained compared with CUAE. However, the prolonged use of continuous sonication increased the non-flavonoids extraction yield in 23% compared with pulsed sonication. The scavenging and iron chelating activity depended on the chem. composition of each extract and was not correlated directly to TPC. 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: 29106-49-8Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks).
(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. Alcohols are weak acids. The most acidic simple alcohols (methanol and ethanol) are about as acidic as water, and most other alcohols are somewhat less acidic. Converting an alcohol to an alkene requires removal of the hydroxyl group and a hydrogen atom on the neighbouring carbon atom. Dehydrations are most commonly carried out by warming the alcohol in the presence of a strong dehydrating acid, such as concentrated sulfuric acid.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks
