Identification and Antioxidant Abilities of Enzymatic-Transesterification (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate Stearyl Derivatives in Non-Aqueous Systems

Sumario: | Vinyl stearate was added to enzymatic transesterification of (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) to enhance its lipophilicity and antioxidant ability in a non-aqueous system. The lipase DF “Amano” 15 was used as the catalyst. The optimal reaction conditions were: acetonitrile as the solvent, the molar ratio of vinyl stearate: EGCG as 3:1, an enzyme amount of 4.0% (ratio of substrate mass), and a reaction temperature and time of 50 °C and 96 h, respectively, achieving 65.2% EGCG conversion. HPLC–MS and NMR were used to determine the structure of EGCG stearyl derivative (3″,5″-2-O-stearyl-EGCG). The lipophilicity of EGCG stearyl derivatives (3.49 ± 0.34) was higher (5.06 times) than that of the parent EGCG (0.69 ± 0.08). Furthermore, EGCG stearyl derivatives had excellent lipid oxidation compared with BHT, BHA, and parent EGCG. The POVs of soybean oil with EGCG stearyl derivatives (18.17 ± 0.92 mEq/kg) were significantly reduced (by 62.5%) at 21 d compared with those of EGCG (48.50 ± 1.23 mEq/kg). These results indicate that EGCG derivatives have broad antioxidant application prospects in lipophilic environments/high-fat food. |
