Isolation and Characterization of the Lignans, Isolariciresinol and Pinoresinol, in Flaxseed Meal

Meagher, Lucy P., Beecher, Gary R., Flanagan, Vincent P., Li, Betty W.·1999·Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

Abstract

The isolation and characterization of the lignans, isolariciresinol, pinoresinol, secoisolariciresinol, and matairesinol, potent phytoestrogens, from flaxseed meal are described. This is the first report of isolariciresinol and pinoresinol being detected in a food. The extraction method selected combined the removal of the lignan glycosides from the plant matrix with an alcoholic solvent system, followed by acid hydrolysis to release the aglycons. A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection system was used for initial separation and detection of the lignans at 280 nm in the acid-hydrolyzed methanolic extract. Lignan trimethylsilyl ether derivatives were characterized by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Secoisolariciresinol is the major lignan in flaxseed; isolariciresinol, pinoresinol, and matairesinol were identified as minor lignan components.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
