Polyphenols are ofa great interest due totheir

showedthatpolyphenolcontentsinaqueousextractswere

steps such as ultrasound-assisted water-maceration of

2.2. Chemicals
Allreagentswereofanalyticalgrade.Sodiumhydroxide

citricacid,dihydratedmonosodiumphosphate(NaH2PO4,
2H2O),disodiumhydrogenphosphate(Na2HPO4),
Folin-Ciocalteu’sphenolreagentwerepurchasedfromCarloErba

2.3. Pilotplantextractionandextractconcentration
Ultrasound-assistedextractionofdriedleaves(1.65kg)
was performed with100L of acidified tap water (H2O,
0.01Ncitricacid)during40minusingultrasonic(US)pilot
plantunitequippedwithanchor-shapeandslow-motion
stirrer (40kHz US frequency, 200–500W US variable
power,REUS,Contes,France).Thewaterextractobtained

4. Conclusion

phenolic compounds that exhibit antioxidant
proper-ties. Reverse osmosis concentrate extract have higher
amountofphenoliccompoundsandantioxidantcapacity
comparatively tocrude extract.In this extract,fourteen
phenolic compounds as flavonoids and phenolic acids
were identified and characterized. The most abundant
polyphenolinthisextractwasverbascoside.Others
com-pounds were reported for the first time in T. grandis
(namely protocatechuic acid, 3-O-caffeoyl quinic acid,
2-O-caffeoylhydroxycitricacid,Caffeoylacidderivative,
4-O-caffeoylquinicacid,apigenin7-O-diglucuronide,luteolin
