Antioxidant activity of eugenol and its application in food industry.
Evaluation of antioxidant activity is generally used to characterize various organic compounds which possess the power to scavenge or neutralize free radicals. Such compounds are capable of protecting biological systems against oxidation. Increased attention has been recently focused on finding antioxidant compounds which can be isolated from plants and used for effective capturing of free radicals. Among a wide range of these compounds, eugenol certainly deserves attention, due to its highly beneficial properties. Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) is a phenolic, semi-volatile compound which can be obtained from clove oil, cinnamon extract, nutmeg oil and many other plants (basil, fennel, marjoram, anise). It possesses significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal properties, analgesic and local anesthetic activity and generally shows pharmacological effects in almost all systems. It is used as an herbal medicine, and in the food and cosmetic industries is often applied as a flavoring agent. In addition to the bakery industry, where eugenol is used to reduce the oxidation rates and formation of oxidation products, it is also utilized in the meat processing industry. This chapter provides an insight into the antioxidant activity of eugenol, studied from its various sources and through different methods, as well as its applications in the food industry for the purpose of extending shelf life of various products.
