Abstract
Background and Objectives
Foxtail millet bran (FMB), a by-product of foxtail millet milling, contains significant polyphenols and dietary fiber. This study aims to explore the forms of phenolic compounds, their content, antioxidant activity, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity present in FMB.
Findings
The FMB extract is rich in phenolic compounds, although it contains relatively low levels of total flavonoids and tannins. Notably, insoluble ester phenols (IEP) are the most abundant phenolic compounds in FMB and show a strong correlation with antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Additionally, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, and vanillic acid are the main phenolic acids in FMB, highlighting its potential for functional food applications.
Conclusions
The high content of insoluble esterified phenols (IEP) in FMB is associated with significant antioxidant properties and tyrosinase inhibitory activity. These findings highlight the potential of FMB as a valuable source of bioactive compounds for health applications.
Significance and Novelty
These findings emphasize opportunities to enhance the biological efficacy of these bioactive compounds in dietary applications, positioning FMB as a promising source for health-related benefits.
期刊介绍:
Cereal Chemistry publishes high-quality papers reporting novel research and significant conceptual advances in genetics, biotechnology, composition, processing, and utilization of cereal grains (barley, maize, millet, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, triticale, and wheat), pulses (beans, lentils, peas, etc.), oilseeds, and specialty crops (amaranth, flax, quinoa, etc.). Papers advancing grain science in relation to health, nutrition, pet and animal food, and safety, along with new methodologies, instrumentation, and analysis relating to these areas are welcome, as are research notes and topical review papers.
The journal generally does not accept papers that focus on nongrain ingredients, technology of a commercial or proprietary nature, or that confirm previous research without extending knowledge. Papers that describe product development should include discussion of underlying theoretical principles.
