Pine bark extracts are a rich source of natural polyphenols with potential beneficial antioxidant properties. The extraction yield, activity, as well the type recovered not only depend on method but also solvent used for extraction.Thus, aim present study was to ascertain effect different solvents total phenolic content and activity from Pinus pinaster subsp. atlantica, major forest biomass Northwest Portugal.Soxhlet extractions water, water/ethanol (1/1) just ethanol, solvents, were...
Introduction: Pine bark is an agroindustrial residue from the timber industry and represents a source of phenolic compounds. These compounds have several beneficial properties being antioxidants, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, among others. Objetives: The aim this work was to study chemical composition Pinus pinaster Aiton subsp. atlantica profile its aqueous, ethanolic hydroethanolic extracts. Methods: moisture content, ash, protein, crude fat carbohydrates were analysed....
Maritime pine bark (Pinus pinaster Aiton subsp. atlantica) is rich in polyphenols with known bioactive properties which are beneficial for human health. However, biological activities of extracts depend on the type extracted and characteristics these extractives several factors such as solvents used. The influence extraction solvent composition consequently has been poorly described. Thus, this study (water, ethanol ethanol-water (50/50 v/v%)) antibacterial anticancer P. samples were...
Pine bark extracts are a rich source of natural polyphenols that besides their known antioxidant activity may also exhibit significant antimicrobial properties. In the current study, Pinus pinaster Aiton subsp. atlantica was screened against gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus), gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis) and fungus Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC...
