Abstract

Abstract: This study analysed 100 plants employed in Brazil as ingredients to infusions for their caffeic acid, 3-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA), 4-caffeoylquinic acid (4-CQA), 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA), 3, 4-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3, 4-DQA), 3, 5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3, 5-DQA), and 4, 5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (4, 5-DQA) contents. The samples were collected from public markets and analysed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The highest concentrations of chlorogenic acids were found in yerba mate ( Ilex paraguariensis ), 9, 2 g·100 g − 1, white tea ( Camellia sinensis ), winter's bark ( Drimys winteri), green tea ( Camellia sinensis ), elderflower ( Sambucus nigra ), and Boehmeria caudata (known as assa-peixe in Brazil), 1, 1 g·100 g − 1 . The present work showcased the investigation of chlorogenic acids in a wide range of plants not yet studied in this regard and also resulted in a comparative table which explores the content of six isomers in the samples. Graphical abstract: Highlights: Brazilian plants are good alternative source of chlorogenic acid. 84 plants analysed in this work presented some chlorogenic acid isomers. Yerba mate had the highest content of total chlorogenic acid.
