An Overview of Plant Phenolics Measurement
Journal Title: Advances in Food Technology and Nutritional Sciences - Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Plant phenolics are widely distributed in nature and are well known for their remarkable antioxidative properties in biological systems such as plants and non-biological systems such as foods. Substantial work has been done to measure plant phenolics in different matrices; the four common steps involved in a measurement process are sampling, sample preservation, sample preparation, and analysis. This review addresses how sampling and sample preservation affect phenolic compounds levels and stability in different plant materials. Other important measurement factors including various sample extraction techniques and analysis methods are also reviewed in this paper.
