RESUMO
Data concerning physiological recovery of whole peanut major phenolics throughout the gastrointestinal tract are scarce. In our study, the bioaccessibility and intestinal permeability of peanuts major phenolics were predicted by simulated digestion followed by Caco-2 cells monolayer model. Phenolics identification and quantification were performed by HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS and HPLC-PDA, respectively. As results, p-coumaroyl conjugates with tartaric, sinapic and ferulic acids, and p-coumaric acid were the major phenolics found in the non-digested extract and in the digested and transported fractions. The in vitro bioaccessibility and Caco-2 cell transport of p-coumaric acid was 370% and 127%, respectively, while it was much lower for p-coumaroyl derivatives (7-100% and 14-31%, respectively). Nonetheless, the peroxyl scavenging activity remained unaltered, likely, at least partly, due to synergies between some phenolics, which concentration proportions changed throughout the experiment. Hence, there is indication that whole peanut is a source of bioavailable antioxidant phenolics.

Nowadays, the agro-industrial processing produces millions of tons of wastes. Many of them are rich in bioactive compounds, being a potential natural source of these substances. This study aimed to evaluate the content of total phenolics, antioxidant activity and phenolic composition of residues generated by three Brazilian agribusiness: Isabel grape pomace (PI) (Vitis labrusca), Verdejo grape pomace (PV) (Vitis vinifera) and guava pomace (PG) (Psidium guajava). The results of total phenolics content (mg GAE g-1) found in the ethanol and aqueous extracts of residues were: PV (20.94±0.46; 8.03±0.43)>PI (16.57±0.19; 4.41±0.01)>PG (3.41±0.09; 1.88±0.06). High antioxidant activity of these extracts, particularly PV and PI, was found by the methods DPPH , ABTS and beta-carotene bleaching method. A strong positive correlation between antioxidant activity and content of total phenolic compounds was found. The following phenolic compounds were found by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS): gallic acid, epicatechin, quercetin (PV, PI and PG); isovanilic acid (PI, PG), p-coumaric acid (PI), caffeic acid and resveratrol (PV, PI). The results show that these residues, particularly the wineries, are rich in bioactive substances and should be exploited by the food industry and pharmaceuticals.
Atualmente, são produzidas milhões de toneladas de resíduos provenientes do processamento agroindustrial. Muitos deles são ricos em compostos bioativos sendo potenciais fontes naturais dessas substâncias. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o teor de compostos fenólicos totais, a atividade antioxidante e a composição fenólica de três resíduos gerados por agroindústrias brasileiras: bagaço de uva Isabel (BI) (Vitis labrusca), bagaço de uva Verdejo (BV) (Vitis vinifera) e bagaço de goiaba (BG) (Psidium guajava). Os resultados do teor de compostos fenólicos totais (mg GAE g-1) encontrados nos extratos etanólicos e aquosos dos resíduos foram, respectivamente: BV (20,94±0,46; 8,03±0,43)> BI (16,57±0,19; 4,41±0,01)> BG (3,41±0,09; 1,88±0,06). Alta atividade antioxidante, principalmente em BV e BI, foi verificada nos ensaios realizados (ABTS , DPPH e auto-oxidação do sistema beta-caroteno/ácido linoléico). Uma forte correlação positiva entre atividade antioxidante e o teor de compostos fenólicos totais foi encontrada. Os compostos fenólicos encontrados, por cromatografia gasosa com espectrometria de massas (CG-EM), foram: ácido gálico, epicatequina, quercetina (BV, BI e BG); ácido isovanílico (BI, BG); ácido p-cumárico (BI); ácido caféico e resveratrol (BV, BI). Esses resultados mostram que os resíduos agroindustriais analisados, particularmente os vinícolas, são ricos em substâncias bioativas e podem ser explorados pela indústria de alimentos e farmacêutica.
