The Right

Marine algae are becoming an interesting source of biologically active compounds with a promising application as nutraceuticals, functional food ingredients, and therapeutic agents. The effect of drying (freeze-drying, oven-drying, and shade-drying) and extraction methods (shaking at room temperature, shaking in an incubator at 60 °C, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE)) on the total phenolics content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC), and total tannins content (TTC), as well as antioxidant capacity of the water/ethanol extracts from Padina pavonica were investigated. The TPC, TFC, and TTC values of P. pavonica were in the range from 0.44 ± 0.03 to 4.32 ± 0.15 gallic acid equivalents in mg/g (mg GAE/g) dry algae, from 0.31 ± 0.01 to 2.87 ± 0.01 mg QE/g dry algae, and from 0.32 ± 0.02 to 10.41 ± 0.62 mg CE/g dry algae, respectively. The highest TPC was found in the freeze-dried sample in 50% ethanol, extracted by MAE (200 W, 60 °C, and 5 min). In all cases, freeze-dried samples extracted with ethanol (both 50% and 70%) had the higher antioxidant activity, while MAE as a green option reduces the extraction time without the loss of antioxidant activity in P. pavonica.

The Impact

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) dried flowers contain a group of interesting biologically active compounds such as sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, coumarins, vitamins, phenolic acids and glucosides. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to characterize the composition in bioactive compounds (specialized metabolites) present in water and ethanol extracts of chamomile flowers, together with monitoring the impact of different extraction techniques (conventional vs. ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE)) on the parameters under investigation. UAE treatment significantly decreased the extraction time of bioactive compounds from herbal material. Polyphenolic compounds content and antioxidant capacity were significantly higher in UAE extracts. Moreover, solvent type had a significant impact on the specialized metabolites content, while the highest vitamin C and polyphenols content were recorded in 50% ethanol (v/v) extracts. Optimization of basic extraction factors: solvent type, temperature and technique is crucial for obtaining the extracts with the highest content of specialized metabolites and antioxidant capacity.

Extracts and infusions of wild artichoke ( Cynara cardunculus L.) and globe artichoke ( C. scolymus L.) (heads, bracts and stems) were examined for their total phenolic content (TPC) and their antioxidant activity after performing Classical Extraction (CE) and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE). UAE proved to be more effective, since extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity and TPC values than CE extracts and infusions. Moreover C. cardunculus heads extract using UAE, displayed the maximum TPC values (1.57 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) g−1 fresh weight (fw)), the highest DPPH• scavenging activity (IC50; 0.91mg mL−1) and the highest ABTS•+ radical scavenging capacity (2.08 mg Trolox Equivalents (TE) g−1 fw). Moreover, the effect of different concentrations of C. cardunculus head extracts (showing the highest TPC and antioxidant activity) on Aspergillus parasiticus growth was estimated in AFPA medium. The maximum inhibition was found to be ~42.1% in comparison with the control.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds and flavonoids of propolis from three provinces of Indonesia with two methods of extraction. Stingless bee propolis from Banten, South Kalimantan, and South Sulawesi was prepared through ultrasound-assisted extraction with water and ethanol solvents, separately. Antioxidant activity was measured by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were analyzed by Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric and aluminum chloride (AlCl3) methods, respectively. The result showed that the antioxidant activity expressed as IC50 of Indonesian propolis ranged from 452.52 to 1027.29 mg/L. Ethanol extracts showed higher antioxidant activity than water extracts. Total phenolic and flavonoids content detected in the samples ranged from 10.00 to 28.65 mg/g GAE and 0.76 to 3.39 mg/g QE, respectively. The ethanol extract of propolis from South Kalimantan had the highest total phenolic contents, while that from South Sulawesi possessed the highest total flavonoids.

The aim of the current research was to perform two “green chemistry” extractions (ultrasound and microwave irradiation) with methanol, 70% (v/v) ethanol and water for extraction of biologically active substances from elecampane ( Inula helenium L.) roots and to compare their contents in all extracts. The presence of carbohydrates (sugars, fructooligosaccharides and inulin), total phenols and flavonoids were established. In vitro antioxidant potential was also evaluated by four assays (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and CUPRAC). Water extracts obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) showed the highest value of inulin (38 g/100 g dry weight plant material). The highest antioxidant activity was possessed by the 70% (v/v) ethanol extracts obtained by UAE: DPPH – 107.2 mM TE/g dw, ABTS – 86.0 mM TE/g dw, FRAP – 67.0 mM TE/g dw and CUPRAC −173.0 mM TE/g dw, respectively. The reason for this probably depended on the highest content of total phenols in the 70% UAE ethanol extract {7.9 mg GAE/g dw, phenolic acids (chlorogenic, caffeic, p-coumaric, sinapic and ferulic acids)}, especially chlorogenic acid (1.84 mg/g) and flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol and catechin; 26.4 mg QE/g dw). UAE was evaluated as a promising approach for the simultaneous extraction of bioactive compounds (dietary fibers and antioxidants) from elecampane roots in comparison with microwave irradiation.

Aim. To determine the total polyphenols and antioxidant capacity and their correlation with antimicrobial and fungicidal properties in some species of the genus Allium growing in Tajikistan.Materials and methods. The objects of the study were 15 kinds of the Amaryllidaceae family. Antibacterial onions were studied by the disk diffusion method against 4 types of microorganisms (test strains) and 1 type of yeast fungus. In the presence of total polyphenols, the content in μg of Gallic acid (GA) per ml of plant extract was measured. To determine the antioxidant activity, a solution of ABTS K2S2O8 was used. Trolox was used as a standard.Results. The maximum content of total polyphenols is characterized by ethanol extracts of A. Carolinianum, A. altaicum, A. elatum, A. oschaninii, A. ramosum, A. hymenorhisum. At the same time, their lowest amount was found in the bulbs of A. longicuspis. A. shoenoprasum, which is statistically significantly lower than in all the above-listed species of this plant group. The extracts from the stems of A. carolinianum, A. elatum, and A. pamiricum had the highest antioxidant effect. There is a direct weak correlation between biologically active components with antimicrobial and fungicidal activity in A. oshaninii and A. suworowii, depending on the altitude gradient.Conclusions. The results allow suggesting that the above-ground and underground parts of some wild-growing endemic species of the genus Allium have different degrees of antioxidant activity due to total polyphenols. The content of total polyphenols and the antioxidant capacity of extracts obtained from various plants in different in large ranges. In some cases, there are direct correlations between the content of polyphenols, antioxidant properties, antimicrobial and fungal properties.

The onion is one of the most cultivated and consumed vegetables, and is a very valuable source of antioxidant substances. Every onion variety is rich in flavonols—mainly quercetin derivatives which makes onions the main dietary source of these compounds. This study intends to develop an ultrasound-assisted extraction method (UAE), an economical, green, and efficient technique, that allows us to determine the quality of onion extracts in terms of flavonol composition and antioxidant activity. For this purpose, an ultrasound-assisted extraction method has been optimized to obtain extracts with a high amount of flavonols, as well as with a high antioxidant activity, not only separately using a Box–Behnken design, but also simultaneously, based on multi-response optimization. Multiple response optimization has not only demonstrated an efficacy level similar to that of the individual ones, but it also represents a considerable reduction in terms of cost, time and work. The optimal conditions for simultaneous extractions were determined as follows: 76.8% methanol as an extraction solvent at pH 2 and 58.5 °C temperature, 85% amplitude, 0.9 s cycle, and 0.2:13 g:mL sample mass/solvent volume ratio. Furthermore, the developed method exhibited a high precision level and great recoveries in a rather short extraction time (2 min). These results, together with the development of a fast and simple UHPLC analysis method, lead us to consider the developed UAE method as a suitable technique for the extraction of bioactive compounds from onion matrices.

Abstract Medicago sativa L. (M. sativa) is a source of many valuable secondary metabolites. Extraction yield and the concentration of phenolics, flavonoids, and saponins, as well as antioxidant potential were determined in extracts from different parts of M. sativa obtained using extraction methods such as maceration, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). The concentrations of the listed groups of compounds were spectrophotometrically determined and confirmed by HPLC-MS. The results showed that ASE of flowers with 70% ethanol (EtOH) provided the highest yield of extraction (47.5 ± 4.0%), whereas the lowest yield was obtained in stems (4.0 ± 0.2%). The 70% EtOH extract from flowers showed the highest phenolic content [48.4 ± 4.6 mg gallic acid equivalents/g dry matter (DM)], as well as the highest antioxidant activity. The highest total flavonoid content (139.0 ± 7.1 mg rutin equivalents/g DM) was observed in the extract from leaves obtained through SFE. This extract was also especially rich in saponins [622.2 ± 30.3 mg oleanolic acid equivalents (OAE)/g DM]. However, the lowest compound content was observed in maceration extracts from stems (54.6 ± 27.0 mg OAE/g DM). The results suggest that EtOH extracts from alfalfa flowers and SFE extracts from M. satvia leaves, especially, may serve as potential sources of natural antioxidants for nutraceuticals, food additives, and cosmetic ingredients.
