Phenolic Profile and In Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Different Corn and Rice Varieties / C. Bani, C.M. DI LORENZO, P.A. Restani, F. Mercogliano, F. Colombo. - In: PLANTS. - ISSN 2223-7747. - 12:3(2023), pp. 448.1-448.14. [10.3390/plants12030448]
Abstract:
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease. To date, the only universally recognized
treatment for CD is the gluten-free diet (GFD). Despite the GFD, a state of inflammation and oxidative
stress could remain at the intestinal level of celiac patients. Several components of the diet, such
as phenolic compounds with known antioxidant properties, could play a protective role in the
inflammatory state of patients with CD. The objective of this study was the characterization of the
phenolic profile and the antioxidant capacity of pigmented cereals (rice and corn) from the Italian
market and farms. Different in vitro methods were applied: Folin–Ciocalteu assay, pH differential
method, DPPH assay, TEAC assay, and High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography technique.
According to the results, pigmented varieties are possible valuable sources of phenolic compounds
and anthocyanins with high antioxidant activity. They could be used as alternative ingredients for
the formulation of gluten-free products.
