Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A new chemical structure, the 4,2',4",2'''-tetrahydroxy-6',6'''-dimethoxy-4'-O-4'''- bichalcone, named achyrobichalcone was isolated and identified from an Achyrocline satureioides spray-dried powder (SDP80). The thermal and photo stability of this new compound as well as that of the main polyphenols present in the spray dried powder, quercetin, luteolin, 3-O-metylquercetin and the corresponding kinetics of degradation are reported. In the long-term testing (30 +/- 2 degrees C/75 +/- 5% RH, 12 months), the total polyphenols contained in SDP80 demonstrated to be stable, remaining higher than 90% after a 12 month exposure. The photo stability testing revealed that all polyphenols were stable for 48 h when SDP80 was conditioned in amber or transparent flasks and exposed to UV-C radiation (light express LE UV, 254 nm, 30W). In contrast, when unprotected, the polyphenols demonstrated to be sensitive to both, thermal stress testing (80 +/- 2 degrees C), for 14 days and to UV-C radiation. Luteolin showed to be the most stable against UVC light and 3-O-methylquercetin against temperature. The achyrobichalcone demonstrated to be the more unstable against both, temperature and light. The kinetics of polyphenol thermal degradation (80 +/- 2 degrees C, 49 days) and photodegradation (UV-C radiation, 96 h) followed, 2nd and 1st order reaction, respectively.
