Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Chemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Food Science

Background:

  • Sugarcane tips are rich in phenolic compounds.
  • Previous research focused on free polyphenols, neglecting bound polyphenols.
  • Bound polyphenols represent a largely unexplored source of bioactive compounds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify and characterize free and bound polyphenols in sugarcane tips.
  • To evaluate the antioxidant potential of bound polyphenols.
  • To investigate the in vivo effects of bound polyphenols on Caenorhabditis elegans.

Main Methods:

  • Quantification of free and bound polyphenols using spectrophotometry.
  • Identification and characterization of phenolic compounds via UPLC-EIS-QTOF-MS/MS.
Sugarcane tip
  • Assessment of antioxidant activity using ABTS+ and DPPH assays.
  • In vivo antioxidant assays using Caenorhabditis elegans.
  • Main Results:

    • Bound polyphenols (SPB) content (31.9 mg GAE/g DW) was significantly higher than free polyphenols (SPF) (3.4 mg GAE/g DW).
    • 44 free and 31 bound phenolics were identified, with SPB showing higher tannin content.
    • SPB exhibited stronger ABTS+ and DPPH radical scavenging activity.
    • SPB significantly improved Caenorhabditis elegans survival, antioxidant enzyme activity, and reduced ROS levels, comparable to Vitamin C at high concentrations.

    Conclusions:

    • Sugarcane tip bound polyphenols are more abundant and possess greater antioxidant capacity than free polyphenols.
    • Bound polyphenols from sugarcane tips show significant in vivo antioxidant effects.
    • Sugarcane tip bound polyphenols represent a promising source for natural antioxidant development.
