Canola bioactive extraction

Rapeseed phenolics isolated by Vuorela et al. (2004) were tested for radical scavenging and for liposome and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) model systems. The inhibition of hexanal and conjugated diene hydroperoxides formation was reported (>90% and >80%, respectively). All isolates also exhibited inhibition of LDL particles oxidation by >90%. The antioxidant activity of methanol and acetone extracts of canola hulls in a P-carotene-linoleate model system was comparable to that displayed by butylated hydroxyanisole (Naczk et al., 2005). These extracts showed more than 95% scavenging effects (at 40 p/assay on DPPH radical). Vuorela et al. (2005a,b) indicated that rapeseed phenolics were excellent antioxidants towards oxidation of phosphatidylcholine membrane (liposomes) and rapeseed oil (crude) phenolics were effective radical scavengers (DPPH test). The authors suggested that these phenolic isolates from rapeseed are safe and bioactive for possible food applications including functional foods intended for health benefit.
