Inositoles en alimentos: estructura, propiedades y funcionalidad

Abstract

[ES] En este trabajo se detallan las características y propiedades de los inositoles, discutiendo también su presencia en alimentos, así como los métodos de extracción y análisis más habituales para su determinación en estas matrices. Los inositoles son polialcoholes cíclicos de 6 átomos de carbono con un grupo hidroxilo en cada uno de ellos. Estos compuestos se encuentran principalmente en los alimentos de origen vegetal (frutas, legumbres, semillas, etc.), aunque también se han detectado en cantidades más bajas en alimentos de origen animal. Los métodos de análisis más empleados para la determinación de inositoles son los basados en la cromatografía de gases (GC) previa derivatización como trimetilsilil éteres. A los inositoles se les atribuyen diversas propiedades funcionales, entre las que destaca su eficacia contra la insulinorresistencia siendo de especial interés en el tratamiento de pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y mujeres que padecen síndrome de ovario poliquístico.

[EN] This paper details the characteristics and properties of inositols, discussing also its presence in foods as well as the more common methods of extraction and analysis for its determination on these matrixes. Inositols are cyclic polyols composed of 6 carbon atoms with a hydroxyl group in each of them. These compounds are primarily found in plant based foods (fruits, vegetables, seeds, etc.), although they have also been detected in foods of animal origin at lower levels. The most commonly used analytical methods for the determination of inositols are those based on gas chromatography (GC) previous derivatization as trimethylsilyl derivatives. Several functional properties have been attributed to the inositols, highlighting its effectiveness against insulin resistance being of special interest in treating patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
