CASTANEA SATIVA MILL. HYDROPHILIC AND LIPID EXTRACTS: ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY, KINETICS, FATTY ACID PROFILE AND CYCLODEXTRIN NANOENCAPSULATION
Abstract
The goal of the study was the obtaining of Castanea sativa Mill., CS (sweet chestnut) antioxidant extracts and lipid fractions from skin and pulp, followed by nanoencapsulation in cyclodextrins (CDs). The nutritional and medicinal values of fruits are mainly due to the presence of low-gluten carbohydrates, vitamins, as well as essential fatty acids (FA), including omega-3. In this study, the KG variety was subjected to the Soxhlet separation of the lipid fractions (petroleum ether) and antioxidant polyphenols (ethanol) from both skin and pulp. The FA profile was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The lipid fractions were nanoencapsulated by natural a- and --CD using the co-crystallization method. The hydrophilic extracts revealed important antioxidant activity (2,2-diphenyl-1-pycryl-hydrazyl method, DPPH-), especially for the skin extracts (88.6-90.0% in comparison with 52.1-61.8% for the pulp extracts, KG variety). The -fast- and -slow- DPPH- reaction kinetics were also evaluated, with very good results for the higher order kinetics. Regarding the FA profile of the lipid fractions, the main acids in the pulp lipid fractions were oleic and linoleic acids, as well as a-linolenic acid as ?-3 (35.7, 41.6 and 5.5%, as methyl esters), while the skin fractions contained more palmitic and a-linolenic acids (38.2 and 10.6%, respectively). Interestingly, ?-3 a-linolenic acid was better encapsulated by CDs, especially for a CD:lipid molar ratio of 3:1 (only 3.1% in the non-complexed part). CD:lipid nanoencapsulation was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal analyses. The high antioxidant activity and the important content in ?-3 FA validate the CD:CS skin lipid micro and nanoparticles for possible applications in the food and cosmetic industries.
