Abstract
The phenolic compounds in dandelion were extracted using different ethanol percentage solutions, identified with HPLC-MS, and their scavenging capabilities of DPPH, ABTS and OH radicals were determined. Then the excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) was conveyed to analyze the relationship between phenolics, components scores of PARAFAC model and antioxidant capacities, based on linear regression method. The results showed that the relative content of chicoric acid, esculetin, caffeic acid, gallic acid monohydrate, eupatilin, caffeic acid-3-glucoside, corchorifatty acid F, and luteolin was higher than 0.5%, and the extraction solutions with 100% and 75% water had a better scavenging capacity of DPPH, ABTS and OH radicals. Two components PARAFAC model was identified with the comparatively higher sum of squares, core consistency values, and lower interactions numbers, and the established equations indicated the component scores had a linear regression relationship with antioxidant capacities of DPPH, and ABTS. The paper was proposed for the first time that the component scores of PARAFAC model might be treated as a useful indication for antioxidant capacity evaluation.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11694-022-01389-z.
