Abstract

 

The volatile oils from fresh leaves of Emilia sonchifolia, Eupatorium odoratum and Spilanthes acmella were isolated by hydrodistn.  These volatile oils were detd. for their antioxidant capacities as well as total phenolic compds.  The three well known methods; 1) 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothia-zoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt; ABTS+ assay, 2) ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, 3) lipid peroxidn. assay were used, resp., in order to obtain the antioxidant activity.  The total phenolic content was evaluated according to the Folin-Ciocalteu procedure.  Antioxidant screening of samples showed that the antioxidant activities of the selected volatile oils ranged from 40 to 276 mmol Trolox equiv. per g, together with FRAP assay ranged from 60 to 350 mmol Fe(II) equiv. per g, and finally with the lipid peroxidn. assays ranged from 9.1% to 61.55%.  In total phenolic compds. screening assay, the results ranged from 12 to 308 GAE (mg/g).  The results of this investigation significantly showed that the volatile oil of S. acmella possessed both of the highest antioxidant activity in all three assays as well as the total phenolic compds.  In addn., the volatile oil of S. acmella was analyzed through a combination of gas chromatog. and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with mass selective detecter (MSD).  The major components of S. acmella were germacrene-D (54.38%), trans-beta-caryophyllene (14.58%), beta-elemene (4.53%), nor-copaanone (2.44%) and bicyclogermacrene (2.15%), resp.  These results indicated that S. acmella has proved to be a good source of antioxidants that might serve to protect health and fight against diseases in the future.

Abstract

 

The aril exts. of three Thai banana varieties, namely "Kluai Khai"(KK), "Kluai Namwa"(KN) and "Kluai Hom"(KH) were analyzed by gas chromatog. and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).  GC-MS data were used to identify 5 Me esters of each banana ext. after transesterification.  The most prominent components found in KK, KN and KH were hexadecanoic acid Me ester (43.17, 29.18, 30.57% resp.), 9, 12, 15-octadecatrienoic acid Me ester (35.93, 30.46, 39.68% resp.), 9, 12-octadecadienoic acid Me ester (14.35, 36.10, 21.82% resp.), 9-hexadecenoic acid Me ester (3.76, 3.34, 3.32% resp.) and octadecanoic acid Me ester (2.79, 0.92, 4.60% resp.).  The antioxidant activity of the crude oils was evaluated using DPPH method.

Abstract

 

The vegetable soybean ("Chakaori") grown in Thailand was examd. to det. its flavor components.  The analyzed sample was prepd. by solvent extn. and the chem. components were identified by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).  Twenty-seven components were detected including 2-acetylpyrrole which was identified for the first time in soybean.  The most abundant flavor compds. detected were n-hexanal (0.91%), 1-hexanol (1.79%), 2-hexanal (0.48%), 3-hexene-1-ol (0.49%) and phenylethyl alc. (0.40%).

Abstract

 

Microwave-assisted hydrodistn. was used to isolate an essential oil from the leaves of Cinnamomum iners Reinw. ex Bl., and the results compared with those obtained by conventional hydrodistn.  The compn. of the oil from both methods was found to be similar, and (-)-linalool was found as the main component (30-50 %).  The antioxidant activity of the essential oil obtained by both methods was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and lipid peroxidn. methods, all of which indicated the same but insignificant activity.

Abstract

 

Some representative quinones, viz. one naphthoquinone (plumbagin) and five anthraquinones (alizarin, purpurin, chrysazin, emodin, and anthrarufin), were subjected to electrocoagulation.  It was found that the rate and extent of coagulation of these compds. appears to correlate with the no. and relative position of their phenolic substituent groups, and that all of the coagulated quinones could be recovered.  Attempts were then made to electrochem. isolate three quinones, namely plumbagin, morindone and erythrolaccin, from natural sources.

Abstract

 

Electrocoagulation of a plant ext. and certain substances representative of selected classes of plant pigments, viz. chlorophyll, carotenoid, phenolic substances and tannin, was performed in ethanol contg. varying amts. of water (15-75%).  The results showed that the extent and efficiency of coagulation of these substances tends to vary in a manner directly related to the water content of the solvent, although the tannin and the phenolic substance were less sensitive to the solvent compn. and are equally well coagulated in all solvent systems studied.  The findings can be applied to the removal of these substances from aq. alc. plant exts. using the electrocoagulation technique.

 Abstract

 

Electrocoagulation of a plant extract and certain substances representative of selected classes of plant pigments, viz. chlorophyll, a carotenoid, a phenolic substance and a tannin, was performed in ethanol containing varying amounts of water (15-75%).  The results showed that the extent and efficiency of coagulation of these substances tends to vary in a manner directly related to the water content of the solvent, although the tannin and the phenolic substance were less sensitive to the solvent composition and are equally well coagulated in all solvent systems studied.  The findings can be applied to the removal of these substances from aqueous alcoholic plant extracts using the electrocoagulation technique.

 Abstract

 

Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation was used to isolate an essential oil from the leaves of Cinnamomum iners Reinw. ex Bl., and the results compared with those obtained by conventional hydrodistillation.  The composition of the oil from both methods was found to be similar, and (-)-linalool was found as the main component (30-50%).  The antioxidant activity of the essential oil obtained by both methods was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and lipid peroxidation methods, all of which indicated the same but insignificant activity.
