Abstract:
To explore the chlorophyll component and its antioxidant activity in kiwifruit,taking Yichang green meat kiwi fruit pulp as experimental material. Using solvent extraction and column chromatography,6 kinds of high-purity substances including chlorophyll a were obtained through separation and purification. The molecular weights ofM+H
+ were obtained by mass spectrometry.Combined with nuclear magnetic resonance data,the structure of five kinds of chlorophyll-related substances was speculated,in which C
1 was chlorophyll a. The molecular weight of M+H
+ of the material A
1 was 927.6967,the molecular formula was C
55H
84O
7N
4;the molecular weight ofM+H
+ of the substance B
1 was 588.4304,the molecular formula was C
34H
33O
5N
4;the molecular weight ofM+H
+ of the substance D
1 was 601.1116,the molecular formula C
35H
34O
5N
4,the structure was estimated to be pheophorbide a;the molecular weight ofM+H
+ of the substance E
1 was 927.6985,the molecular formula was C
55H
84O
7N
4;the molecular weight ofM+H
+ of the substance F
1 was 701.5039,and the molecular formula was C
37H
38O

4.At the same time,the antioxidant activity of the single product was studied by DPPH method and Fe
3+ reduction method. The results showed that when mass concentration was 0. 12 mg/mL,the clearance rates were 93.14% and 93.39%,respectively,which was slightly lower than the 96.49% clearance rate of V
C. At a mass concentration of 1.0 mg/mL,the absorbance values of the substances E
1 and F
1 were both 1.92,which was second only to 1.95 of V
C. The structure of five chlorophyll-related substances was discovered and presumed,and all of them had certain antioxidant activities,among which E
1 and F
1 were the most active.
