Food And Agriculture Organization

In recent years, entomophagy has attracted increased attention, as it was recommended as a potential source of food by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. In Japan, Oxya yezoensisis one of the most widely eaten insect species, but studies of its functionality as a food are limited. In this study, we reported the optimal characterization of the total phenolic compounds in methanolic extract (OME) and different fractions of OME. Additionally, the antioxidant and antiallergic activities of the OME fractions were evaluated. The results showed that the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of OME has potential antioxidant activity, whereas the n-hexane-soluble fraction showed the strongest inhibition of β-hexosaminidase, which is one of the key factors in allergic reactions. It was concluded that phenolic compounds might contribute to the antioxidant activity while unsaturated fatty acids contribute to the antiallergy activity.

The Relationship

Coleonema album, a member of the South African ‘Fynbos’ biome, was evaluated for its antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity. Ethanol- and acetone-based extracts from plant material obtained from two different geographical areas were analysed. A bioassay-guided fractionation methodology was followed for screening of active compounds. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-TLC method revealed the presence of a number of antioxidants which were quantified by the DPPH-spectrophotometric assay and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. The C. album extracts possessed significant in vitro antioxidant activity, a large portion of which appeared to be contributed by the phenolic compounds. In contrast, the reducing power of the extracts could not be correlated with the observed antioxidant activity. Identification and structural information of the active components were obtained by a combination of preparative TLC and LC-MS which revealed the presence of coumarin aglycones and glycosides. The results of this study indicate that C. album contains strong antioxidants that warrant further investigation into the relationship between the structure and activity of the active coumarin metabolites.

Abstract An elaborate investigation on the identity and usefulness of the antioxidants naturally occurring in Hevea latex is of value because there is an increasing demand for special types of rubber with low nitrogen and ash contents, less water absorption, better electrical properties, and less odor than common crepe, and because these rubbers are generally unstable in comparison with the usual grades of rubber crepe and sheet. for the purpose of the investigation, fresh latex was separated into main-fractions, the most important of which have been called water-solubles and ether-solubles. These were further separated into various subfractions, which, one by one, have been tested for their antioxidant activity on raw rubber. In the following table only those fractions which show an outstanding antioxidant action are recorded. It is shown further that the amino acids are most remarkable in their antioxidant action : minute quantities exert a strong retarding action on the oxidation of raw rubber. Choline and cephaline are most probably the active components of the second water layer. The active ether-soluble fractions could not be identified due to the small quantities separated.
