The present study aimed to evaluate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory and antioxidant activities of Lamiaceae medicinal plants growing wild in Croatia. Using Ellman’s colorimetric assay all tested ethanolic extracts their hydroxycinnamic acid constituents demonstrated vitro AChE properties a dose dependent manner. Mentha x piperita, M. longifolia, Salvia officinalis, Satureja montana, Teucrium arduini, T. chamaedrys, montanum, polium Thymus vulgaris at 1 mg/mL showed strong activity...
Ultrasound-assisted extraction was used for of bioactive compounds and production Allium ursinum liquid extract. The experiments were carried out according to tree level, four variables, face-centered cubic experimental design (FDC) combined with response surface methodology (RSM). Temperature (from 40 80 °C), ethanol concentration 30% 70%), time min) ultrasonic power 19.2 38.4 W/L) investigated as independent variables in order obtain the optimal conditions maximize yield total phenols...
Abstract The circular bioeconomy concept relies on the exploitation of wastes as a feedstock different biotechnological processes to obtain, much possible, huge spectrum biochemical components through biorefinery platform. This work deals with treatment brewery effluent cultivation Scenedesmus obliquus microalga and use biomass in complex biorefinery. proved efficient removal nutrients (N, P COD removals 88, 30 71% respectively). Several compounds products were obtained from biomass, such...
This study aimed to establish a procedure for pomegranate peel (PP) valorization and attainment of stable extracts with preserved bioactive compounds. The technology applied was spray drying carbohydrate-based (maltodextrin, MD) protein-based (whey protein, WP) carrier materials in different concentrations (80, 100, 120%). What analyzed the impact type concentration material on stability quality final encapsulated powder. best results were achieved when PP extract microencapsulated (100%),...
A simple and rapid HPLC method for determination of chlorogenic acid (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) in mate tea extracts was developed validated. The chromatography used isocratic elution with a mobile phase aqueous 1.5% acetic acid-methanol (85:15, v/v). flow rate 0.8 mL/min detection by UV at 325 nm. showed good selectivity, accuracy, repeatability robustness, limit 0.26 mg/L recovery 97.76%. applied the obtained ethanol extraction liquid carbon dioxide as co-solvent. Different concentrations...
Abstract BACKGROUND Cannabis ( sativa L.) is one of the most controversial plants. So far, its multiple application in industry for production fabrics, paper and construction materials known. Today, there increasing interest medical purposes, as opposed to opiate activity. In addition well‐known cannabinoids, presence polyphenolic compounds their antioxidant reductive abilities are great importance. Therefore extraction both constituents, polyphenolics cannabinoids (Δ 9 ‐tetrahydrocannabinol...
Utilizing natural plant extracts as food additives represents a promising strategy for enhancing the quality, nutritional value, and safety of products, benefiting both consumers environment. Therefore, primary objective this study was to develop an environmentally sustainable process production solid powder derived from Allium ursinum liquid extract, with intent utilizing it additive. To address challenge instability enhance solubility bioactive compounds in A. obtained through subcritical...
Abstract Continuous exploration of innovative and sustainable solutions within green chemistry is imperative to tackle challenges inherent in traditional production processes. This study examined three novel methods for obtaining polyphenolic extracts from dill seeds: nonthermal high voltage electric discharge (HVED), subcritical water extraction (SWE), microwave‐assisted (MAE). SWE was conducted at temperatures ranging 100 200°C under 30 bar pressure, while MAE utilized a hydroethanolic...
In this study, water and various concentrations of ethanol in (30 %, 50 70 90 %) were used as a solvent the extraction two different samples hemp (Cannabis sativa L.). The yield, total phenols content, flavonoids antioxidant activity, reductive capacity determined obtained extracts. yield was from 8.16 to 19.56 content range 5.85 17.05 mg GAE/g dw, 9.25 CE/g dw. Antioxidant activity tested by DPPH assay EC50 values 0.1331 0.7563 mg/mL, while reducing power test ranged 0.4450 1.1980 mg/mL....
