Phenolic compounds in common buckwheat sprouts: composition, isolation, analysis and bioactivities

Ahmad Rois Mansur et al. Food Sci Biotechnol. .

Abstract

Phenolic compounds in common buckwheat sprouts (CBSs) have gained research interest because of their multiple health benefits. Phenolic acids, flavanones, flavonols, flavan-3-ols, and anthocyanins are important bioactive components of CBS that exhibit biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-proliferative, and immunomodulatory effects. The isolation and quantitative and qualitative analyses of these phenolic compounds require effective and appropriate extraction and analytical methods. The most recent analytical method developed for determining the phenolic profile is HPLC coupled with a UV-visible detector and/or MS. This review highlights the extraction, purification, analysis, and bioactive properties of phenolic compounds from CBS described in the literature.

Keywords: Analytical methods; Biological activity; Common buckwheat sprouts; Extraction; Phenolic compounds.
