e1“In addition, 50% acetone and ethanol were compared for their effects on wheat ORAC values. The ORAC value of 50% acetone extracts was 3-20-fold greater than that of the ethanol extracts, indicating that 50% acetone may be a better solvent system for monitoring antioxidant properties of wheat”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Antioxidant properties, TPC and phenolic acid composition may significantly differ among micronized aleurone, aleurone, bran and grain of Swiss Red Wheat.
- Observation Micronized aleurone of Swiss Red Wheat had the greatest antioxidant activities, TPC and concentrations of all identified phenolic acids.
- Observation Ferulic acid was the predominant phenolic acid in Swiss red wheat, about 57-77% of total phenolic acids on a weight basis.
- Association Ferulic acid concentration was well correlated with scavenging activities against radical cation and superoxide anion.
- Association Ferulic acid concentration was well correlated with TPC and other phenolic acid concentrations in wheat.
- Method / resource 50% acetone may be a better solvent system than ethanol for monitoring antioxidant properties of wheat.
- Recommendation Postharvest treatment or processing may improve antioxidant release from wheat-based food ingredients.
