Optimizing Extraction and HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS Analysis of Bound Phenolics From Okra (<i>Abelmoschus esculentus</i>) and Their Biological Activity. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Extraction and characterization of okra bound phenolics. The extraction of bound phenolics from okra pulp (OPBP) and seeds (OSBP) was optimized, achieving maximum yields of 7.77 and 83.03 mg GAE/g DW, respectively. Using HPLC‐ESI‐QTOF‐MS/MS, multiple phenolic compounds were identified, with nine being reported in okra for the first time.
