Abstract

This study developed and characterized edible coatings from potato peel starch (Solanum tuberosum L.) to prolong the shelf life of strawberries (Fragaria sp.). Due to its high starch content, the edible coating was formulated using potato peel starch as the base material, and Sungkai leaf extract was added to enhance its antioxidant properties. The coating was characterized by viscosity, pH, color, antioxidant content, and thickness; and analyzed using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The coating was applied to strawberries, and its effectiveness was evaluated based on weight loss and decay rate during storage. The edible coating was characterized by lower viscosity (10 cP), lower pH (6.83), darker color indicating bioactive compounds, and higher antioxidant content (5.72 mg AAE/g). FTIR data confirmed physical interactions among components; XRD revealed a semi-crystalline structure; and SEM showed a porous surface with visible cracks. Application of strawberries reduced weight loss and decay by 22.88 and 1.33% (day 4 at 3–5 °C) and 46.1 and 2.67% (day 12 at 28–31 °C). These results demonstrate the potential of potato peel starch and Sungkai leaf extract as an eco-friendly preservation solution.

Abstract

Betel (Piper betle L.) is one of the medicinal plants widely used in traditional medicine for its therapeutic properties. This study aimed to determine the levels of total flavonoids, phenolics, and antioxidants in the leaves, stems, and roots of four betel species, namely, Piper betle L., Piper ornatum N.E. Br., Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth, and Piper aduncum L. The Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) was measured using the aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) colorimetric method, while Total Phenolic Content (TPC) was determined using the Folin–Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant capacity was assessed by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The results showed that the highest TFC was found in Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth leaves (79.27 ± 1.37 mg QE/g DW), whereas the highest TPC was observed in Piper betle L. stems (23.97 ± 0.04 mg GAE/g DW). The strongest antioxidant capacity was also observed in Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth leaves (23.93 ± 0.36 mg AAE/g DW). Correlation analysis revealed a very strong relationship between TFC and antioxidant capacity in leaves (r = 0.9892) and a strong correlation between TPC and antioxidant capacity in roots (r = 0.9745). These findings suggest that the antioxidant potential of betel species is closely related to their secondary metabolite composition, particularly flavonoids and phenolic compounds.

Abstract

Essential oils are often also referred to as flying oils produced by plants and usually volatile essential oils at room temperature, one of the essential oils with many uses is clove leaf essential oil (Syzygium aromaticum L). Zein-essential oil nanoparticles were prepared by varying the concentration of clove oil (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 20 mg/mL) added to 1.5 mg/mL zein and 1 ml tween 20 and sonicated for 20 minutes. The antioxidant activity of the zein-essential oil nanoparticles formed was tested using the DPPH method. The best antioxidant activity was found in the addition of clove leaf essential oil 8 mg/mL with a percentage of inhibition of 71.13%. Characterization test with a laser beam where the amount of light scattered by the solution. Chemical component analysis using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS) showed the presence of 32 compounds with three main compounds, namely trans-?-caryophyllene (46.69%), chavibetol (25.80%) and - humulene (10.84%).

Abstract

Free radicals can lead to oxidative stress, causing cell damage, which underlines the importance of natural antioxidants. Although the genus Artemisia (Asteraceae) is a widely recognized source of bioactive compounds, comparative data on its antioxidant potential in specific organs remain scarce. In this study, the total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant capacity of the leaves, stems, and roots of four Artemisia species were evaluated, as well as their relationships. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents, determined by Folin–Ciocalteu and AlCl? methods respectively. The antioxidant capacity was determined using the DPPH test. The distribution patterns of phytochemicals and antioxidant capacity across organs were heterogeneous. Leaves contained the highest content of flavonoids and phenolic compounds, while roots demonstrated the strongest antioxidant capacity except for Artemisia vulgaris. Results show that plant components and species varied significantly (ANOVA, p < 0.05). The flavonoid and phenolic content of stems and leaves were strongly positively correlated with antioxidant capacity, while phenolic and flavonoid levels throughout the plant were closely correlated. These findings provide novel comparative insights into the antioxidant properties of flavonoid and phenolic compounds across different tissue types of diverse Artemisia species, as well as aiding the rational selection of plant material for potential applications in natural antioxidant use.

Abstract

The role of free radicals in oxidative stress poses risks to cells and tissues. The effect of stress and tissue oxidation damage leads to loss of structure and, ultimately, tissue necrosis. Antioxidants quell free radicals and stabilize them. White turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe) rhizome, another natural source used in traditional medicine, is said to have some potential as an antioxidant. The current study sought to investigate methods used in devising the optimization of antioxidant extraction from white turmeric using the decoction method. The main factors considered were temperature, extraction time, and sample-to-solvent ratio. The DPPH assay measured at 522 nm provided the readings for antioxidant activity. The initial OFAT approach used to devise the experiment tested and confirmed those optimal conditions of extraction (80 ˚C, 50 minutes, and 1:25 g/mL). These optimal conditions were tested in the central composite design within RSM. The confirmation of optimal conditions within RSM was (84 ˚C, 51 minutes, 1:25 g/mL). The extraction of 1.3963 mg AAE/g FW and the predicted value of 1.3450 mg AAE/g FW. These findings validate the extraction efficiency in RSM and demonstrate the antioxidant potential of white turmeric in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract

Hybrid rose plants are not only valuable as floriculture commodities, but also have the potential to be a source of bioactive compounds. In cultivation activities, leaves and stems from pruning are often not fully utilized, so a scientific basis is needed to select the most promising biomass and to develop a simple extraction process. This study analyzed total flavonoids, total phenolics, and antioxidant capacity in red, pink, white, and purple flowers, stems, and leaves of Rosa × hybrida Schleich. We extracted fresh samples by infusion in distilled water at 90 °C for 15 minutes. Total flavonoids were determined by AlCl3 complexation and expressed as mg QE/g FW; total phenolics were determined with Folin–Ciocalteu as mg GAE/g FW; while antioxidant capacity was measured by DPPH and the Modified Phenanthroline Method (MPM) as mg AAE/g FW. The highest flavonoids were found in purple stems (37.046 ± 17.557 mg QE/g FW), the highest phenolics in pink flowers (20.286 ± 1.704 mg GAE/g FW), the highest DPPH in purple leaves (10.928 ± 1.227 mg AAE/g FW), and the highest MPM in purple stems (7.762 ± 3.111 mg AAE/g FW). DPPH and MPM were highly correlated in flowers, stems, and leaves (r = 0.997–0.999). These findings suggest that vegetative biomass, especially purple rose stems and leaves, should be prioritized for the development of aqueous extracts and the valorization of pruning biomass. This study is a laboratory proof of concept; economic impact, community adoption, safety, and product performance still require further pilot testing.
