The presence of phenolic compounds, possessing outstanding antioxidant activity corresponding to ascorbic acid, in wasted acorn shells was revealed by means of thermochemolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (thermochemolysis-GC/MS) in the presence of organic alkalis. The chromatogram of intact acorn shell samples obtained by thermochemolysis-GC/MS using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) showed a strong peak of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid methyl ester. This product was also clearly observed on the chromatograms of the methanol and water extracts from the acorn shells, indicating that 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid methyl ester was derived from free and/or esterified gallic acids through the thermochemolysis reaction. Based on the peak intensities, the contents of gallic acid components were determined asca.27 wt% for the both extracts. Furthermore, the content of free gallic acid was selectively estimated with discriminating from its esterified counterpart by using tetramethylammonium acetate (TMAAc) as a methylating reagent. These results were also correlated with high antioxidant activity of the acorn shell extracts evaluated by a DPPH radical scavenging method.
