Functional Properties of Polyphenols in Grains and Effects of Physicochemical Processing on Polyphenols

Abstract: Phenolic compounds are important products of secondary metabolism in plants. They cannot be synthesized in the human body and are mainly taken from food. Cereals, especially whole grains, are important sources of dietary polyphenols. Compared with vegetables and fruits, the content and biological activities of polyphenols in cereals have long been underestimated. Polyphenols in whole grains are non-nutritive compounds, which are distributed in all structural areas of cereal substances, mainly phenolic acids, f… Show more

“…Already, the antioxidant and free radical-scavenging activities of CVE are well documented [ 32 , 80 82 ] Again, the literature has shown polyphenols (consisting of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and anthocyanins) to freely scavenge free radicals in the body [ 83 86 ]. Among the secondary metabolites identified, the most prevailing compounds which have been reported for eliciting potent antioxidant activities for other plant extracts were tetradecanoic acid [ 87 ], n-hexadecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid methyl and ethyl esters [ 88 ], phytol [ 89 ], and gamma-tocopherol [ 90 ]. These antioxidant compounds are known to possess redox properties through their free radical adsorption and neutralization [ 91 , 92 ].…”

“…Tannin levels may be reduced as a result of lactic acid fermentation, leading to increased absorption of iron, except in some high tannin cereals, where little or no improvement in iron availability has been reported (Ray and Didier 2014). Reduction in polyphenols may be because of the presence of phenolic oxidase during germination (Tian et al 2019;Tajoddin et al 2014). In most of the cereals, Lactobacillus spp.…”

“…Several authors consider that the dilution of polyphenols by adding unmalted wheat as a part of the mash, leads to the increased colloidal stability, due to the fact that wheat contains no haze-active polyphenols and adds less protein to the wort than barley malt [23][24][25]. However, a combination of wheat with maize grits actually results in increased total polyphenols since maize is much richer in polyphenols than wheat [26].…”
