Abstract:

Objective: This study was carried out to analyze the pigment component, stability and antioxidant activity of the heartwood of Dalbergia bariensis with the aims to provide theoretical basis and technical support for making full use of the resources of D. bariensis and also to provide reference for the efficient utilization of similar rosewood resources. Method: Pigment was extracted from the processing waste(shavings) of D. bariensis heartwood, and the constituents and properties of the pigment were explored. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to Q Exactive quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-EXACTIVE-MS) was used to isolate and identify the pigment. The content of main components in the pigment was determined. The effects of pH, metal ions, temperature and ultraviolet irradiation on the stability of pigment were investigated. The scavenging ability of the pigment to DPPH and ABTS radicals was also studied by using ascorbic acid(Vc)as positive control. Result: 19 flavonoids were identified from the heartwood pigment of D. bariensis, including orientin, puerarin, vitexin, isorhamnetin, pelargonidin, cyanidin, hispidulin, chrysin, glycitein, cirsimaritin, sakuranetin, naringin, genistein, malvidin, diosmetin, medicarpin, formononetin, maackiain, and 6-hydroxyflavone, of which the relative content of formononetin was 2.27%. The pigment had a good stability under acidic conditions, but a poor stability in alkaline conditions, and precipitation appeared after pH>9. K+, Na+, Ba2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ had a little effect on the pigment. Al3+ had a color enhancement effect on the pigment. Gr6+, Cu2+ and Fe3+ made the pigment precipitate and had a great destructive effect; the pigment was stable when heated at high temperature for 2 hours. The pigment color could be enhanced by long-time high temperature heating, and the pigment color could be slowly enhanced by ultraviolet irradiation. The pigment could scavenge DPPH radicals and ABTS radicals. Conclusion: The main components of the pigment from the heartwood of D. bariensis are flavonoids. The pigment is stable in acidic to neutral environments, unstable in alkaline condition, unstable in the presence of Gr6+, Cu2+ and Fe3+. High temperature heating and long-time irradiation might have a great influence on the stability of pigments, which have a certain antioxidant capacity.
