Categories, sub-types, specific compounds, and the significance of major classes of phenolic compounds in canola.

Categories Sub-types Specific compounds Significance
Hydroxycinnamic acids Sinapates Sinapic acid, sinapine, and sinapoyl glucose Primary phenolic compounds. Sinapine (sinapoyl choline) is the key anti-nutrient.
Ferulates Ferulic acid and feruloyl choline Present in cell wall, contributes to structural integrity of plants.
Other acids p-coumaric, chlorogenic, and caffeic acid Present in seeds in minute quantity but higher in vegetative plant tissues.
Hydroxybenzoic acids Benzoic derivatives Syringic, salicylic, vanillic, p-hydroxybenzoic acids Minor constituents; released during alkaline hydrolysis of plant tissues.
Flavonoids Flavonols Quercetin, isorhamnetin (glycosides), and kaempferol Powerful antioxidants and are found in leaves and seed coats.
Anthocyanins Cyanidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin Role in pigmentation levels are usually low in yellow/brown canola.
Flavones Apigenin and luteolin Present in very small quantities compared to flavonols.
Tannins Condensed tannins Proanthocyanidins and procyanidins (dimers and trimers) Present in the seed coat and associated with protein digestibility issues.
Hydrolyzable Gallotannins Present in negligible amount.
Lignin and lignans Lignans Pinoresinol, secoisolariciresinol, and lariciresinol Phytoestrogens present in the fiber of seed meal.
Lignin Guaiacyl (G) and syringyl (S) units High-molecular-weight polymers and are the component of the insoluble fibers.
