    Antioxidant Activity of Biphenolic Compounds Anchored on Mesoporous Alumina.

    Phenolic antioxidants are used in the industry to delay the oxidation of fats, with the most used being butyl hydroxy anisole (BHA) and butyl hydroxy toluene (BHT). However, the consumer concern regarding their safety has motived the study of natural alternatives. In this sense, the aim of this work was to evaluate the behavior of 3,3′-dimethoxy-5,5′-di-2-propenyl-1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-diol and 6,6′-dihidroxi-5,5′-dimethoxy-(1,1′-biphenyl)-3,3′-dicarbaldehyde free and supported on mesoporous alumina. Biphenolic compounds were synthetized by radical coupling and then anchored on alumina by microwave assisted process. The antioxidant activity of these compounds was investigated by phosphomolybdenum method. The results showed that biphenolic compounds anchored on mesoporous alumina have a marked antioxidant activity, better than free antioxidants. Biphenolic compounds supported on alumina display antioxidant properties allowing a new opportunity for the developing in food and cosmetics packaging.

    Synthesis and encapsulation of bis-eugenol in a mesoporous solid material: Enhancement of the antioxidant activity of a natural compound from Clove Oil.
    (2018) Guntero, Vanina A.; Ferretti, Cristian Alejandro; Mancini, Pedro M. E.; Kneeteman, María N.
    In the present work, microwave extraction conditions to recover high eugenol content in the crude extract from clove were investigated. The effect of factors like temperature, stirring, time, liquid: Solid ratio and solutions of solvent were evaluated with Taguchi’s method. The eugenol content was determined by gas chromatography. From the isolated eugenol, the bis-phenol was synthesized by the dimerization of eugenol. The encapsulation of bis-eugenol on the mesoporous silica was carried out by a microwave assisted process. Previously, mesoporous silica SBA-15 was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using Pluronic P123 triblock copolymer as a surfactant. The bis-eugenol encapsulated in SBA-15 was characterized by physicochemical techniques. The results indicated that the encapsulation of bis-eugenol in the pores of silica occurred through weak interactions of an electrostatic nature without producing chemical changes in the antioxidant property. The antioxidative activity of eugenol, bis-eugenol and bis-eugenol/SBA-15 system was examined by phosphomolybdenum assay. Among these materials, a remarkably high antioxidant activity was found in bis-eugenol encapsulated in SBA-15. These resultas suggest the possibility of applying this system as an antioxidant active packaging in the future.
