Abstract
Tea seed oil is rich in phenols with good antioxidant capacity. However, the antioxidant capacity evaluation of tea seed oil polyphenols is not deep enough, which mainly focusing on the evaluation of the chemical system. Thirty-nine phenols were tentatively identified by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. The antioxidant capacity of phenol extracts was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The chemical assays showed the extracts had good proton and electron transfer capabilities. The CAA assay indicated the IC50 of the extracts was 77.93 ± 4.80 µg/mL and cell antioxidant capacity of the extracts was 101.05 ± 6.70 μmol·QE/100 g of oil. The animal experiments suggested phenol extracts could significantly improve the organ index, reduce malondialdehyde content, and increase superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidant capacity (p < 0.05). This study was contributed to the antioxidant capacity of phenol extracts of tea seed oil by comprehensive evaluation.
