Caption: Figure 1: A typical HPLC chromatograph showing the standard mixture of phenolic compounds, i.e., [1] caffeic acid, [2] resorcinol, [6] vanillic acid, [7] p-coumaric acid, [9] ferulic acid, [10] vanillin, [11] veratric acid, [4] myristicin, [5] coumarin, and cinnamic acid.
Phenolic compound/flavonoid Amount (%) 1 Caffeic acid [1] 3.305 2 Resorcinol [2] 0.008 3 Vanillic acid [6] 0.063 4 p-Coumaric acid [7] 0.034 5 Ferulic acid [9] 0.054 6 Vanillin [10] 0.181 7 Veratric acid [11] 0.015 8 Myristicin [4] 0.013 9 Coumarin [5] 0.004 10 Cinnamic acid 0.042 Table 2: Validation of the liquid chromatographic method.
In addition, only for the groundwater filtered from wells H4-1, 3 bottles were prepared with 70 mg of either [sup.13]C-labelled veratric acid (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) or unlabelled ([sup.12]C) veratric acid (Sigma-Aldrich, USA).
Veratric acid is a lignin-related aromatic compound and a complex organic polymer derived from plants and algae [39].
cassumunar rhizomes have revealed the presence of phenylbutanoids, cyclohexene derivatives, naphthoquinones, vanillin, vanillic acid,
veratric acid [2-5], terpenoids, [beta]-sitosterol, and curcuminoids [6-9].
The experiment was done by exposing 2 high laccase fungal strains to 1C to 10C potencies of HBT and ABTS over 14 days, the laccase produced assessed for activity via PAGE and colorimetric tests and the level of demethylation activity assessed after incubation with
veratric acid.
