Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]The influence of polymerization (number of monomers) and galloylation (content of esterified gallates) of oligomeric catechins (proanthocyanidins) on their effectiveness to prevent lipid oxidation in pelagic fish muscle was evaluated. Non-galloylated oligomers of catechin with diverse mean polymerization (1.9−3.4 monomeric units) were extracted from pine (Pinus pinaster) bark. Homologous fractions with galloylation ranging from 0.25 to <1 gallate group per molecule were obtained from grape (Vitis vinifera) and witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana). The results showed the convenience of proanthocyanidins with medium size (2−3 monomeric units) and low galloylation degree (0.15−0.25 gallate group/molecule) to inhibit lipid oxidation in pelagic fish muscle. These optimal structural characteristics of proanthocyanidins were similar to those lately reported in fish oil-in-water emulsions using phosphatidylcholine as emulsifier. This finding suggests that the antioxidant behavior of polyphenols in muscle-based foods can be mimicked in emulsions prepared with phospholipids as emulsifier agents. The present data give relevant information to achieve an optimum use of polyphenols in pelagic fish muscle
