claimRutin is a flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular-protective effects; Gallic acid and Protocatechuic acid are phenolic acids with antimicrobial and radical-scavenging properties; and P-coumaric acid and Ferulic acid are hydroxycinnamic acids that contribute to antioxidant capacity and metabolic pathway modulation.
procedureThe standard stock solution for UPLC-PDA analysis of phenolic acids and flavonoids is formulated at a concentration of 1 mg/mL by dissolving standards in LC-MS grade methanol, filtering through a 0.22 μm syringe filter, and storing at 4 °C.
claimThe phenolic acids and flavonoids analyzed via UPLC-PDA include P-coumaric acid, Gallic acid, Pro-catechuic acid, Vanillic acid, Rutin, Syringic acid, Caffeic acid, Epicatechin, EGCG, Ferulic acid, Quercetin, and Kaempferol.
procedureQuantification of phenolic acids and flavonoids is performed using a Waters Acquity UPLC H-class system with an ACE Ultra Core 2.5 Super C18 column (2.1 mm X 100 mm, 2.5 μm) and detection set at 270 nm.
claimGallic acid is a phenolic acid with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, while Epicatechin is a flavonoid known for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects.
