Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Virgin argan oil possesses high antioxidant capacity (AC), which may be partially explained by its high content in antioxidant molecules like polyphenols and tocopherols. However, the content in other antioxidant molecules, e.g. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), Coenzyme Q9 (CoQ9) and Melatonin (Mel), which have been identified in other vegetable edible oils, have not been evaluated in virgin argan oil. Consequently, we decided to evaluate the content on CoQ10, CoQ9 and Mel in virgin argan oils, and compare the results to those obtained in extra virgin olive oils and some varieties of seed's oils. By the use of sensitive HPLC-EC/F methods, the results showed that virgin argan oil is a rich source of CoQ10 and Mel, but no CoQ9 was detected. Extra virgin olive oil showed higher levels of CoQ10 and lower levels of Mel than virgin argan oil. Between the seed's oils samples, only virgin soybean oil showed higher CoQ10 and Mel levels than virgin argan oil. Our results may be relevant for the contribution of CoQ10 and Mel to the biological activities of virgin argan oil. |
