Background technology
Procyanidin (Proanthocyanidins), also be called condensed tannin (condensed tannins), a kind ofly to be polymerized by several catechin compounds, plant polyphenol compounds with flavan-3-alcohol structure, be present in the nature various plants, all contain procyanidin in the plants such as ginkgo leaf, grape pip, cowberry, pine bark, lotus pod, rose.Confirm that after deliberation procyanidin has very strong anti-oxidant and radical scavenging activity, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular is had preferably protective effect.
Because procyanidin is the element of the first species and complicated compound thereof, lack again simultaneously commercial available contrast, therefore, the content assaying method of procyanidin mostly is colourimetry at present, comprises acid butanols method, vanillin method, 4-di methyl amino cinnamaldehyde method, ammonium molybdate method, ammonium ceric sulfate, ferric salt-potassium ferricyanide etc.Acid butanols ratio juris is that procyanidin is transformed into the coloured anthocyanidin of tool under acid condition, thereby calculates the content of procyanidin by measuring absorbance; The vanillic aldehyde ratio juris is that vanillic aldehyde is transformed into cationic molecule under acid condition, and are combined and form coloured material in the phloroglucin of A ring or resorcinol nucleophilic site in the flavan-3-alcohol structure, utilize absorbance to calculate the content of procyanidin; 4-di methyl amino cinnamaldehyde ratio juris is similar to vanillin method, the 4-di methyl amino cinnamaldehyde is transformed into cationic molecule under acid condition, are combined and form coloured material in the phloroglucin of A ring or resorcinol nucleophilic site in the flavan-3-alcohol structure, utilize absorbance to calculate the content of procyanidin.And mostly additive method is to detect the method for polyphenol, contains the higher product of flavones ingredient for those, and the measured value of these methods can be significantly higher.But the acid butanols method that specificity is relatively high and vanillin method are when measuring the ginkgo procyanidin, and also exist obvious deficiency: acid butanols method is vulnerable to the impact of anthocyanidin and accessory substance, and result's repeatability and reliability are relatively poor; Although 4-di methyl amino cinnamaldehyde method is highly sensitive in vanillin method, because the absorption coefficient of monomer is apparently higher than polymeric absorption coefficient, so its measurement result is subject to the impact of monomer and obviously higher easily.
The most frequently used assay method is vanillin method at present, but the method for bibliographical information exists obvious deficiency equally, and method is various, and is also ununified so far.Vanillin-sulfuric acid method [Bao Junzhu, Chen Yuekun, Xu Guihua. measure the method for Proanthocyanidin from Grape-seed Extracts. research of agricultural science, 2005,26 (1): 43-45.] in testing process, can produce very large heat when adding sulfuric acid, so its measurement result is subject to the oxidative degradation of procyanidin and obviously on the low side; Initial vanillic aldehyde-salt acid system [Zhao Yi, Huang Yumei, Yang Yanping. the progress of grape seed procyanidine content assaying method. Gansu college of traditional Chinese medicine journal, 2006,23 (6): 43-46.], developer is the vanillic aldehyde methanol solution of 6mL 4% and the concentrated hydrochloric acid mixed solution of 3mL, lucifuge reaction 15 hours; By improvement [Chunyang LI, Xu Shiying, Wang Zhang. low concentration vanillic aldehyde-salt acid system is measured the research of procyanidin content in grape pip, the stalk. food industry science and technology, 2004,25 (6): 128-130.], the hydrochloric acid of employing 4% and 0.5% vanillic aldehyde methanol solution develop the color, 30 ℃ of control temperature of reaction, 30 minutes reaction time.But the reaction dissolvent of above-mentioned vanillin method is methyl alcohol, and toxicity is large, is used for very inconvenience of On-line Product production testing, needs to carry out under special laboratory environment; And this several method is all very long detection time, and the reaction time all more than half an hour, can not be accomplished fast detecting, because speed and accuracy are particular about in online detection, this several method all can not satisfy the demand of online detection at present.
