Optimum Extraction

Supercritical fluid extraction (carbon dioxide), water extraction and ethanol extraction are used to extract bioactive components from fruiting bodies of Antrodia Camphorata to find out the optimum extraction condition through operation variable changes. Analysis comparisons tell that the best condition for water and ethanol approaches is 95% ethanol as the solvent, 45 °C as the operation temperature and 24 hours for extraction while supercritical fluid extraction prefers 95 % ethanol as the co-solvent, 250 bar as the working pressure and 45 °C as the operation temperature. There exist more and significant low polarity peaks in HPLC detection chromatograms for supercritical fluid extract liquids.

A total of 779 samples of edible nuts (melon seeds, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, and cantaloupe seeds) from Southern Punjab (Pakistan), were collected during the summer and the winter seasons. The natural occurrence of aflatoxins (AFs) and vitamin E (tocopherols) levels were investigated using HPLC. The results have shown that 180 (43.4%) of samples from the winter season and 122 (33.4%) samples from the summer season were found positive for AFs. Elevated average levels of total AFs (20.9 ± 3.10 μg/kg, dry weight) were observed in watermelon seeds without shell, and the lowest average amount (15.9 ± 3.60 μg/kg) were documented in melon seeds without shell samples from the winter season. An elevated average amount of total AFs 17.3 ± 1.50 μg/kg was found in pumpkin seeds available without a shell. The results have documented a significant difference in total AFs levels in edible seeds available with shells versus without shells (α = 0.05 & 0.01). The highest dietary intake of 6.30 μg/kg/day was found in female individuals from consuming pumpkin seeds (without shell) in the winter season. A value of 3.00 μg/kg/day was found in pumpkin seed without shell in the summer season in female individuals. The highest total tocopherol levels were 22.2 ± 7.70 ng/100 g in pumpkin seeds samples from the winter season and 14.5 ± 5.50 mg/100 g in melon seed samples from the summer season. The variation of total tocopherol levels in edible seeds among the winter and summer seasons showed a significant difference (p ≤ 0.0054), except watermelon seeds samples with non-significant differences (p ≥ 0.183).

he fruit tree nursery accreditation scheme implemented by the Philippine Department of Agriculture has been promoted to enhance the supply of high quality fruit tree planting materials and reduce the number of dubious seedling market players. This paper examines the advantages to participating nurseries in the fruit tree nursery accreditation scheme and draws implications for possible formulation of a scheme to accredit forest tree nurseries in the Philippines. Data were collected from interviews with accredited fruit tree nursery operators and the nursery accreditation officer-in-charge in Northern Mindanao province. A major advantage of nursery accreditation is that only accredited fruit tree nursery operators can participate in the bidding process of the government seedling procurement program, which always involves a substantial volume of seedlings. As a form of advertisement, accredited nurseries are posted on the government website thus creating a wide range of market opportunities which results in increased sales. Other advantages enjoyed by accredited fruit tree nurseries include receiving free training in improving seedling production and occasionally receiving high quality propagation materials (scions and seedlings), subsidies for pesticides and fertilizers and free soil tests. Observations of advantages gained by nursery operators adopting certification have encouraged other nursery operators to apply for accreditation. Accreditation by the Department of Agriculture places emphasis on maintaining high genetic quality as well as high physical quality of planting materials. Accrediting forestry nurseries is seen as a potential policy option that can expand the supply of high quality tree seedlings in the Philippines, as has been the experience with fruit tree nursery certification.

Milk can mediate maternal-neonatal signal transmission by the bioactive component extracellular vesicles (EVs), which select specific types of miRNA to encapsulate. The miRNA profiling of sheep milk EVs was characterized by sequencing and compared with that of cow milk. Nanoparticle tracking analysis revealed that the concentration of sheep milk EVs was 1.3 ± 0.09 × 1012 particles/mL and the diameter was peaked at 131.2 ± 0.84 nm. Sheep milk EVs contained various small RNAs, including tRNA, Cis-regulatory element, rRNA, snRNA, other Rfam RNA, and miRNA, which held about 36% of all the small RNAs. In total, 84 types of miRNA were annotated with Ovis aries by miRBase (version 22.0) in sheep milk EVs, with 75 shared types of miRNAs in all samples. The miR-26a, miR-191, let-7f, let-7b and miR-10b were highly expressed both in cow and sheep milk EVs, and 14 sheep milk EV-miRNAs in the top 20, occupying 98% of the total expression, were immune-related. Although pathway analysis showed different potential functions of cow and sheep milk EV-miRNAs, there were still some shared points: lipid metabolism (phospholipase D, glycerophospholipid and glycosylphosphatidylinositol), calcium metabolism, and nerve conduction (axon guidance and synapse). This study provides reference for the bioactive components in the milk of different species.

The utilization of therapeutic plants is expanding around the globe, coupled with the tremendous expansion of alternative medicine and growing demand in health treatment. Plants are applied in pharmaceuticals to preserve and expand health—physically, mentally and as well as to treat particular health conditions and afflictions. There are more than 600 families of plants identified so far. Among the plants that are often studied for their health benefit include the genus of Salvia in the mint family, Lamiaceae. This review aims to determine the bioactive components of Salvia and their potential as antidiabetic agents. The search was conducted using three databases (PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus), and all relevant articles that are freely available in the English language were extracted within 10 years (2011–2021). Salvia spp. comprises many biologically active components that can be divided into monoterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, and phenolic components, but only a few of these have been studied in-depth for their health benefit claims. The most commonly studied bioactive component was salvianolic acids. Interestingly, S. miltiorrhiza is undoubtedly the most widely studied Salvia species in terms of its effectiveness as an antidiabetic agent. In conclusion, we hope that this review stimulates more studies on bioactive components from medicinal plants, not only on their potential as antidiabetic agents but also for other possible health benefits.

Rumput laut merupakan sumber daya hayati yang sangat berlimpah di perairan Indonesia. Namun demikian pemanfaatannya untuk pengolahan produk pangan sangat terbatas, terutama untuk produk pangan fungsional. Rumput laut berpotensi dikembangkan sebagai produk pangan fungsional karena mengandung zat gizi dan komponen bioaktif yang berkhasiat untuk kesehatan. Rumput laut mengandung sejumlah komponen bioaktif seperti senyawa fenolik, pigmen alami, polisakarida sulfat, serat dan komponen bioaktif lainnya yang telah diteliti berkhasiat untuk kesehatan. Untuk dapat dikembangkan sebagai produk pangan fungsional, rumput laut yang digunakan harus bebas dari cemaran logam berat dan bahan pencemar lainnya, harus mengandung komponen bioaktif dan zat gizi yang tinggi sehingga harus ada penerapan standar penanaman dan penanganan pasca panen yang baik di tingkat petani rumput laut. Selain itu Proses pengolahan pangan yang diterapkan tidak merusak komponen bioaktif yang terkandung dalam rumput laut. Optimalisasi pengolahan rumput laut sebagai produk pangan fungsional merupakan alternative pemanfaatan potensi rumput laut Indonesia yang dapat meningkatkan nilai ekonomi rumput laut dan yang lebih penting dapat menyediaakan akses pangan sehat bagi masyarakat luas.Seaweed is a living resource that is abundantly available in Indonesian water. However, its utilization in food processing is very limited, especially as functional food products. Seaweed has the potential to be developed as functional food products because it has nutrient and bioactive components that are beneficial for health. Seaweed has a number of bioactive components such as phenolic compound, natural pigment, polysaccharide sulphate, fiber and other bioactive components that has been studied to be advantageous for health. For a seaweed to be developed into functional food product, it must be free from heavy metal and other pollutant contamination, and must contain bioactive components and high nutrients, thus, a good cultivation and postharvest handling standard have to be applied in seaweed farmer level. Moreover, the food processing applied should not damage the bioactive component within the seaweed. Optimization of seaweed processing into functional food product is an alternative for seaweed potential utilization in Indonesia, which could improve the economic value of the seaweed, and more importantly it could provide access for healthy food for community.
