Title: | Polyphenol contents and antioxidant activity of soybean seed extracts | Authors: | Malenčić, Đorđe Maksimović Z. Popović M. Miladinović J. |
Issue Date: | 1-Sep-2008 | Journal: | Bioresource Technology | Abstract: | The antioxidant activity and contents of various polyphenol classes in the seeds of 20 soybean hybrids were evaluated. Total polyphenols, tannins and proanthocyanidins were determined after extraction of plant material with 70% aqueous acetone. In addition, flavonoid content was determined. Antioxidant activity of seed extracts was evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity assay. A positive linear correlation between antioxidant activity and contents of total phenols, tannins and proanthocyanidins was established. The highest antioxidant activity was observed in the extracts of hybrids which have higher levels of all polyphenol classes examined. The most of the single-cross hybrids were poor in tannins which recommend them as good source for ensiled livestock feed. Results suggested that polyphenol content should be considered as an important feature of the soybean seed. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
