“…Besides, a total of 24 phenolic compounds were identified in SUN (Table 3): 18 phenolic acids, 5 flavonoids and 1 hydroxycoumarin. Phenolic acids, and particularly quinic derivatives of caffeic or ferulic acids, have been previously reported as the main phenolic compounds in sunflower kernel and shell [33] and, specifically, in sunflower meal [34,35]. These acids were detected in this study, together with some additional phenolic acids (hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, sinapic acid, a quinolactone from caffeic acid, 1,2-disinapoylgentiobiose and the hydroxyphenylpropionic acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-2-oxypropanoic acid), which, as far as we know, had not been reported in sunflower products before.…”
