Summary
Lipid-soluble lignens were isolated from sesame seeds as the new type of lipid-soluble plant phenols, in particular sesaminol was identified as the main antioxidative component. Sesaminol is the effective antioxidant when evaluated by both in vitro and in vivo systems, and also shown to have a strong inhibitory effect on mutagenicity induced by indirect mutagens such as heterocyclic amines. By an approach to obtain a novel type of antioxidative compound, tetrahydrocurcumin, strong antioxidant which has both phenolic hydroxy and β-diketone groups in the same structure, was formed from hydrogenation of curcumin.
