The interest in za’atar has increased in recent years due to its economic, cultural, and functional importance. The traditional za’atar mix made from dried Origanum syriacum is now a demanded product nationally and internationally. Air-drying at low temperatures can preserve za’atar quality traits better than other techniques such as oven-drying. The Palestinian za’atar market has the potential to develop and increase its value. However, it is facing many challenges. Another valuable product of za’atar is essential oil. Za’atar essential oil quantity and quality are affected by many factors including geographical location, cultivation, harvesting season, soil, extraction method, temperature, and others. These factors interact with za’atar and with each other; therefore, some factors are more effective than others and further research is needed to determine the optimum condition for producing and obtaining za’atar essential oil. Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities are the main functionalities of za’atar essential oil that are behind its medicinal importance. One hundred and twenty-one compounds have been identified in za’atar essential oil. The most common compounds are thymol, γ–terpinene, carvacrol, and α-pinene. The variation in the composition among za’atar essential oil samples results from the different conditions of the studies during za’atar growth as well as essential oil extraction.

Abstract Background The present study was focused on the optimization of yield of the essential oil extraction from leaves of Lawsonia inermis, and the determination of chemical composition, antioxidant activities, and lipid peroxydation and antiproliferative effects. Methods Henna essential oil (HeEO) were extracted by hydrodistillation; the identification of the chemical composition were done by GC/MS method. HeEO was analyzed for antioxidant power in: (1) chemical system by the DPPH test, the ABTS test and the total antioxidant activity test; and (2) in biological system by lipid peroxydation tests (MDA and DC) in cells culture. The cytotoxicity effects of HeEO were assessed using MTT assay against Raji and HeLa cell lines. Results The optimal extraction yield was 6.8 g/100 g d.b. HeEO showed a remarkable anti-oxidant activities including DDPH (42%), ABTS (87%) and the power of ammonium phosphomolybdate (2992 ± 230 mg of HeEO by equivalent to 1 mg of vitamin C in terms of total antioxidant power). Conclusion Beyond notable antioxidant activities of the HeEo, our results showed a significant decrease in the production of ERO in the Raji cell line. The anti-tumor power of the Henna essential oil shows an interesting cytotoxicity effect (IC50 at 0.26 μg/mL for Raji and at 1.43 μg/mL for HeLa) with a total mortality percentage reaching 60%, for both.

Essential oil extraction of wild caraway and thyme was performed using a classical (HD) and microwave hydro-distillation (MWHD) and a laboratory supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with a carbon dioxide as solvent. Our experiments demonstrated that the extraction yield of the essential oil performed in same conditions was influenced by the location of growth area; the maximum extraction yield of 10 ml 100 g-1 caraway was obtained from dried seeds collected from Csíkmadaras. This quantity far exceeded the yield of the Újtusnád samples. In the case of wild caraway (Carum carvi L.), the extraction method influenced thecomposition of the essential oil (carvone/limonene ratio), the highest limonene content being achieved by classical hydro-distillation. In the case of thyme, this effect was not detected, the thymol/carvacrol ratio was independent from the given extraction method. The obtained thyme essential oil possesses high antimicrobial activity demonstrated by agar diffusion test. The thyme extract provides a good protection against microorganisms collected on the surface of fresh vegetables following bacterial stains: Citrobacter portucalensis, Pseudomonas hunanensis, Pseudomonas baetica, Pseudomonas parafulva, Bacillus mojavensis and Enterobacter cloacae. Protective effect was also detected on the vegetable surface of by chitosan-based edible film coating during a 6-day-long storage period at a temperature of 4 °C. The caraway essential oil used as soft cheese seasoning with a direct, dilution-free method, proved to be unsuitable because the uneven distribution and confer a strong, unpleasant taste to the product in comparison with the ground wild caraway seed-dressed cheese.

We studied the richness of phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activities of Opuntia ficus indica L. cladodes by comparing two types of extraction, maceration and soxhlet made with methanol / water (8 : 2, v/v). The results showed that the extraction by maceration is better than that by soxhlet with a total polyphenol concentration of 36.7 mg GAE/ g DW, a total antioxidant activity of 18.5 mg GAE/ g DW and an IC50 of 77.5 μg/ml against DPPH radical scavenging. These results are very vaforable for a sustainable valorisation of the prickly pear cladodes for medicinal, pharmacological and alimentary fields.

Pewarna alami lebih disukai karena tidak memiliki efek yang negatif terhadap tubuh manusia sehingga mempunyai tingkat keamanan pangan yang tinggi, selain itu juga pewarna alami mudah diuraikan. Bahan pewarna alami bisa diperoleh dari berbagai jenis sumber, salah satunya yaitu spesies alga yang merupakan tumbuhan tingkat rendah di perairan. Alga terdapat 2 jenis yaitu makroalga yang berukuran besar dan mikroalga yang berukuran kecil (renik). Spesies mikroalga yang dapat menghasilkan pewarna alami salah satunya adalah Spirulina. Jenis pewarna alami yang terkandung pada mikroalga tersebut yaitu fikosianin. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan ekstraksi fikosianin dari Spirulina platensis dengan menggunakan tiga metode berbeda yaitu Maserasi, Ultrasound-Assisted-Extraction (UAE) dan Freezing untuk mengetahui metode mana untuk menghasilkan yield dan antioksidan tertinggi dari ekstrak yang dihasilkan. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa berdasarkan nilai yield tertinggi dan kandungan fikosianin, freezing merupakan metode ekstraksi terbaik dengan kandungan fikosianin yang paling tinggi yaitu sebesar 26,53%. Sedangkan nilai aktivitas antioksidan terbesar dihasilkan oleh metode ekstraksi maserasi dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 49,59 ppm. Fikosianin yang dihasilkan dari ketiga metode ekstraksi termasuk antioksidan kuat.KATA KUNCI: ekstraksi, Spirulina plantesis, fikosianin, biopigmen, antioksidanEXTRACTION OF PHYCOCYANIN FROM SPIRULINA PLANTESIS FOR BIOPIGMENT AND ANTIOXIDANTABSTRACTRecently, biopigment known as a pigment which has no impact and easy to degradated in human body and better than artificial pigment. Biopigment can be resulted from the extraction of algae that are living in the water. Spirulina plantesis is one of algae resulting a pigment and known as phycocyanin. In this research, extraction of phycocyanin was done by three method of extractions; maceration, Ultrasound-Assisted-Extraction (UAE) and Freeze-thaw. Those extraction methods were compared to decide which method that resulted highest yield of extraction and has highest antioxidant activities. From the resulted data, the highest yield and highest phycocyanin concentration was obtained by freeze-thaw extraction method. Phycocyanin concentration from freeze-thaw ectract was 26,53% (w/w). However, the highest antioxidant activities was obtained by maceraion extraction mehod. The IC50 of extract from maceration was 49,59 ppm. Hence, all extracts from different extraction methods resulted high antioxidant activities.

Aim and Objective: Oxidative stress is implicated in the development and progression of many disease. Some of appropriate actions that could be initiated to taken to resolve the problem of these diseases are search for new antioxidant substances isolated from plants. The aims of this study were to study the intraspecies variations of A. verticillata and C. caeruleus essential oils from 8 locations using statistical analysis, the in vitro antioxidant properties of collective essential oils and in combinations. Materials and Methods: The essential oils were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The intraspecies variations of the essential oil compositions were discussed using principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). The antioxidant properties were evaluated DPPH-radical scavenging activity and β-carotene bleaching test. Results: The main components of Ammoides verticillata collective essential oil (Coll EO) were thymol (30.5%), carvacrol (23.2%), p-cymene (13.1%), limonene (12.5%) and terpinene-4-ol (12.3%). While roots of Carthamus caeruleus essential oil were dominated by carline oxide (86.2%). The chemical variability allowed the discrimination of two main Groups for both Coll EOs. A direct correlation between the altitudes, climate and the chemical compositions was evidenced. Ammoides verticulata and Carthamus caeruleus Coll Eos showed good antioxidant activity. In binary mixture, the interaction both Coll Eos and between oils rich of thymol and/or carvacrol with carlina oxide produced the best synergistic effects, compared to individual essential oils and the synthetic antioxidant (BHT). Conclusion: Ammoides verticillata and Carthamus caeruleus essential oil blends can be used as a natural food preservative and alternative to chemical antioxidants.
