Dicaffeoylquinic acids (diCQAs), found in various edible and medicinal plants, possess significant biological activities. However, their low stability during extraction and food processing leads to degradation and transformation. This study investigated the effect of different parameters in ultrasonic treatment on the stability of diCQAs, including solvent, temperature, treatment time, ultrasonic power, duty cycle, and probe immersion depth. Free radical generation and its influence were examined, and the stability of diCQAs under certain ultrasonic conditions and different pH levels was evaluated. Ultrasound was found to accelerate the degradation and isomerization of diCQAs, and their stability could be improved by adding epigallocatechin gallate and vitamin C.
Dicaffeoylquinic acids (diCQAs) are found in a variety of edible and medicinal plants with various biological activities. An important issue is the low stability of diCQAs during extraction and food processing, resulting in the degradation and transformation. This work used 3,5-diCQA as a representative to study the influence of different parameters in ultrasonic treatment on the stability of diCQAs, including solvent, temperature, treatment time, ultrasonic power, duty cycle, and probe immersion depth. The generation of free radicals and its influence were investigated during the treatment. The stability of three diCQAs (3,5-diCQA, 4,5-diCQA and 3,4-diCQA) under the certain ultrasonic condition at different pH conditions was evaluated and found to decrease with the increase of pH, further weakened by ultrasonic treatment. Ultrasound was found to accelerate the degradation and isomerization of diCQAs. Different diCQAs showed different pattern of degradation and isomerization. The stability of diCQAs could be improved by adding epigallocatechin gallate and vitamin C.
