ABSTRACT
Extraction condition efficiency of total polyphenols was studied on carob pods (Ceratonia siliqua L.) by performing extractions with various solvent systems, in order to evaluate and optimize the conditions of the recovery of polyphenols. Maximum amounts of polyphenols were found in 80% acetone extracts versus water inefficiency. Total polyphenol contents, determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method, were estimated at 11.19 mg/g (dry weight) and the chromatographic analyses demonstrated that gallic acid is the major polyphenol compound of the extracts (45% of polyphenols by dry weight material).
Carob leaves and different parts of fruits were also analyzed for their total polyphenols and gallic acid content. It was found that the mature leaves of the year contain more polyphenols and gallic acid (45.26 mg/g of total polyphenols and 17.01 mg/g of gallic acid). Tegument extracts contained lesser amounts of polyphenols and gallic acid (26.30 mg/g of total polyphenols and 2.51 mg/g of gallic acid), while only traces were detected in germ and endosperm (1.33 and 0.80 mg/g of total polyphenols; 0.99 and 0.72 mg/g of gallic acid, respectively). It should be noted that there are some additional phenolic compounds present whose structures should be precised.
Key words: Carob tree, Ceratonia siliqua, Extraction, Total polyphenols, Gallic acid.
