Popis: Gnetol is a stilbene whose characterization and bioactivity have been poorly studied. It shares some bioactivities with its analogue resveratrol, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, cardioprotective and anti-cancer activities. However, the low solubility of stilbenes may limit their potential applications in functional foods. Encapsulation in cyclodextrins could be a solution.The antioxidant activity of gnetol was evaluated by 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation and ferric reducing antioxidant power methods (Trolox equivalents 13.48 μmol LThese results could increase interest of gnetol as an alternative to the most studied stilbene, resveratrol, as well as aid in the development of more stable inclusion complexes that improve its aqueous solubility and stability so that it can be incorporated into functional foods. © 2022 The Authors.
