Chlorogen acid

Soybeans contain only 1—25 ppm of phenofic acids (33) whereas defatted sunflower meal contains 2.7% chlorogenic acid, 0.38% quinic acid, and 0.2% caffeic acid (34). Chlorogenic acid turns from yellow to green and finally to brown as the pH is raised from 7 to 11. Interaction of chlorogenic acid... 

Sundower Seed. Compared to the FAO/WHO/UNU recommendations for essential amino acids, sunflower proteins are low in lysine, leucine, and threonine for 2 to 5-year-olds but meet all the requirements for adults (see Table 3). There are no principal antinutritional factors known to exist in raw sunflower seed (35). However, moist heat treatment increases the growth rate of rats, thereby suggesting the presence of heat-sensitive material responsible for growth inhibitions in raw meal (72). Oxidation of chlorogenic acid may involve reaction with the S-amino group of lysine, thus further reducing the amount of available lysine. 

Numerous organic acids iu coffee iuclude acids of metaboHc origin, eg, acetic lactic, citric, malic, and oxaUc free quiuic acid [77-95-2], and various chlorogenic acid (CGA) isomers that appear to be species specific.

Colored substance zones were obtained which could be analyzed quantitatively. The (visual) detection limits were hypericin 1 ng, rutin and chlorogenic acid 5 ng, hyperoside — quercetin 10 ng per mm chromatogram zone. The detection limits for densitometric analysis are between 20 and 50% of those for visual detection. 

Some kinds of fish and Crustacea contain thiaminases. These enzymes cleave thiamin and thus inactivate the vitamin. Some plant phenols, e.g., chlorogenic acid, may possess antithiaminic properties, too, though their mechanism of action is so far not well understood. 

The following fiRf values were obtained quercetin 90 — 95, hypericin 75 — 80, quercitrin 60 — 65, quercetin-3-arabinoside 55 — 60, isoquercitrin 45 — 50, hyperoside 40—45, chlorogenic acid 30 — 35, rutin 20—25 (Fig. 1).

Chlorogenic acid enhanced the colors of strawberry and chokeberry juices in concentrations higher than those of the anthocyanins present. However, the effects on purified pigments were lower, indicating the presence of other stabilizing compounds in the juices. ...

Nutrient deficiencies may also influence the production of allelochemics. The compounds studied in great detail have been the phenolic compounds and scopolin-related chemicals. Deficiencies of boron, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur have all been reported to enhance the concentration of chlorogenic acids and scopolin in a variety of plants (4). In other species, chlorogenic acids have decreased in plants that are deficient in magnesium or potassium.

Parthenin (19) has at a concentration of 50 ppm no effect on the germination of the bean Phaseolus vulgaris but inhibits the development of radicles and hypocotyls (41). Similar effects were observed by Kanchan for Parthenlum hysteropherus and Eleusine coracana coleoptiles (42) and it was shown that besides parthenin (19), caffeic acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid an3 anisic acid were major constituents in P. hysteropherus (43). 

Chlorogenic acid forms a 1 1 complex with caffeine, which can be crystallized from aqueous alcohol and yields very little free caffeine on extraction with chloroform. Other compounds with which caffeine will complex in this way include isoeugenol, coumarin, indole-acetic acid, and anthocyanidin. The basis for this selection was the requirement for a substituted aromatic ring and a conjugated double bond in forming such a complex. This kind of complex does modify the physiological effects of caffeine.14 Complex formation will also increase the apparent aqueous solubility of caffeine in the presence of alkali benzoates, cinnamates, citrates, and salicylates.9...
