<br />The demand for beneficial, safe natural pigments is growing. <i>Clitoria ternatea</i> (CT) flowers are a promising source of blue colours and bioactive compounds. This study extracted intact CT (CTFs) their powders (CTFPs) with distilled water at various temperatures (30–90 °C) durations (30–180 min). The total anthocyanin content (TAC) phenolic (TPC) the extracts were analysed by using pH differential Folin-Ciocalteu methods, respectively. antioxidant activity was expressed as ability...
Clitoria ternatea (CT) flowers are rich in phytochemicals. An innovative approach was taken to utilize CT flower extract (CTFE) as a functional ingredient with natural pigment by incorporating it into noodles. The aim of this study examine the effect CTFE amount (0-30%) on color, texture, phytochemicals, and sensory quality both dried cooked Dried noodles 30% had highest total anthocyanins (9.48 μg/g), polyphenols (612 DPPH radical scavenging capacity (165 μg TE/g), reducing power (2203...
Abstract Microbially mediated arsenic methylation, remains understudied in subgeothermal environments. This study aimed to investigate the activity and diversity of arsM-carrying microorganisms sediment samples (termed YC1, YC2, YC5) from a low-temperature hot spring. Microcosm assays revealed that only YC1 YC2 exhibited limited As-methylating activities, generating maximum 2.3–3.5 μg/L methylarsenate (MMA) 2.2–2.8 dimethylarsenate (DMA). The addition lactate arsenite significantly promoted...
A novel method has been developed for accurately quantifying arsenic species, including As(III), As(V), and total inorganic arsenic, in drinking water. The technique combines ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry with cloud point extraction (UV/CPE), ensuring high sensitivity selectivity. methodology relies on complex formation between As(III) Pyronin B the presence of tartaric acid. resulting is efficiently extracted into surfactant-rich phase consisting 5.0% (v/v) Triton X-114. Under...
Butterfly pea flower contains many bioactive substances. To make more use of it, an approach adding butterfly extract (BPFE) to Chinese steamed bread (CSB) as a natural colorant and functional ingredient was applied. The objective this study investigate the effect BPFE levels (0–30%) on phytochemical, textural, sensory properties CSB. Total anthocyanins, free polyphenols, DPPH radical scavenging capacity, reducing power CSB were enhanced by increasing level. BPFE-fortified appeared blue in...
Butterfly pea flower (BPF), roselle calyx (RC), and grape skin (GS) are rich in bioactive phenolics with health benefits. Due to its simplicity, safety, environmental friendliness, this study used water as a solvent explore different extraction conditions these plant materials compared the heat stability of anthocyanins aqueous extracts. To maximize total polyphenols extracts, powders BPF, GS, RC should be extracted for 30 min at 90 °C; 120 60 °C, respectively. Among tested materials,...
