Phenolic Profiling and In-Vitro Bioactivities of Corn (Zea mays L.) Tassel Extracts by Combining Enzyme-Assisted Extraction.

ABSTRACT: In this work, enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE) of phenolic compounds from corn tassel using cellulase, protease, and their combination (1:1) was developed and optimized by central composite response surface methodology. The phenolic profile of obtained corn tassel extracts (CTE) was elucidated by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) analysis, and their antioxidative, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic properties were evaluated in vitro. The results showed that CTE by EAE with combined enzymes had the highest total phenolic content (TPC). Under optimum enzymatic conditions, the experimental TPC values were 9.78, 8.45, and 10.70 mg/g, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the non-enzymatic control (6.75 mg/g) (p < 0.05).
