Pp. Mouly et al., BLOOD ORANGE JUICE AUTHENTICATION USING CINNAMIC ACID-DERIVATIVES - VARIETY DIFFERENTIATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FLAVANONE GLYCOSIDE CONTENT, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 45(2), 1997, pp. 373-377
A phenyl propanoid glycoside, cinnamoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (GIN),
characteristic of blood oranges, was isolated by column and thin layer
chromatographies. The structure of this compound was established usin
g H-1 and C-13 NMR spectral data and by analysis of its components upo
n hydrolysis. Flavanone glycosides (FGs) [narirutin (NAT), hesperidin
(HES), and didymin (DID)] and cinnamic derivatives [CIN and trans-cinn
amic acid (TCA)] of four blood orange varieties (47 samples) were anal
yzed by HPLC. Differences in the polyphenol profiles clearly showed va
riety differentiation.
