Phenolic constituents of six barley varieties, namely Falcon, AC Metcalfe, Tyto, Tercel, Phoenix and Peregrine were separated into free, soluble conjugate and insoluble-bound fractions. Soluble conjugates and insoluble-bound phenolics were extracted into diethyl ether after consecutive alkaline hydrolysis for 4 h. Total phenolic content of each of the three fractions was determined by using Folin-Ciocalteau method. Total antioxidant capacity of the phenolic fractions was determined by trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay. The extracts were evaluated for their efficacy in scavenging of 1,1-diphenyl-2-pic-rylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. Oxygen radical scavenging capacity (ORAC(FL)) of the extracts was determined using a fluorometric assay. Effectiveness of phenolic extracts in inhibiting oxidation of human LDL cholesterol and radical-induced supercoiled DNA breakage was also evaluated. The contribution of insoluble-bound phenolics toward total phenolic content was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the soluble phenolics for all barley extracts tested. The ratio of soluble to insoluble phenolics ranged from 1:27 to 1:35. TEAC and ORAC values and DPPH radical scavenging capacity of the insoluble phenolic fraction were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those of their insoluble counterparts. A similar trend was observed against inhibition of LDL cholesterol oxidation and radical-induced DNA breakage. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
