Abstract
Stoichiometric coefficients for reactions of cognac antioxidants with coulometric titrants (electrogenerated bromine and hexacyanoferrate(III) ions) have been found. Ellagic and gallic acids react with both titrants while aldehydes (vanillin, syringic and coniferaldehyde) - with electrogenerated bromine only. Furfurals do not show significant reactivity toward both oxidants. Cognac and brandy total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and ferric reducing power (FRP) based on reactions with electrogenerated bromine and hexacyanoferrate(III) ions, respectively, have been evaluated. Both parameters for cognacs are statistically significant higher than for brandies and grow with the age increase. Beverages under investigation has shown relatively high antiradical activity toward 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (7-92% and 5-93% for cognacs and brandies, respectively). Total phenolics content has been evaluated by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Older beverages represent the higher phenolics content caused by more time of extraction from oak barrels. Positive correlations (r = 0.8077-0.9617) have been observed for TAC and FRP with antiradical activity and total phenolics content.
