Medicinal Properties

Areca catechu belongs to the family Palmae and is commonly known by different names such as chikni supari, areca nut and betel nut. The fruit of this plant is called the areca nut, which carries significant medicinal properties. This plant is also mentioned in various ancient Sanskrit scriptures. The plant is mainly used for chewing and religious purposes of the Hindus of India. India is the largest consumer and producer of areca nut globally, which produces about 52% of the world production. Medicinally, the plant is used to treat leucoderma, diarrhea, anaemia, obesity, leprosy etc. In Ayurveda, the plant is astringent, diuretic, digestion-promoting, stimulant, wound healing and laxative agent. The plant is associated with various therapeutic and pharmacological potentials, including wound healing, antidepressant, antihelmintic, antihypertensive, antioxidant, antiallergic, antifungal and antimicrobial properties. However, this plant is considered as carcinogenic as it can cause mouth cancer. In this review article, attempts have been made to summarize the phytochemistry, folk uses and ayurvedic uses along with its pharmacological activities

Thrush is an oral disease caused by bacterial and fungal infections. Treatment for this disease can be done by administering drugs that contain antimicrobial compounds. This study aims to test the ethanol extract of young areca nut against bacteria and fungi that cause Oral thrush. Young betel nut extract is obtained through maceration process using 96% ethanol. Then the activity of the Streptococcus sanguis bacteria and Candida albican fungus was tested. This test used the well method which was carried out on 5 variations of the concentration of young areca nut extract (2.5%; 5%; 7.5%; 10% and 15%) with one negative control (Na CMC). The results of the antimicrobial activity of young areca nut extract showed that young areca nut extract can inhibit Streptococcus sanguis bacteria with inhibition value are  (9,961; 11,319; 13,390; 14,184; 14,704 mm) and Candida albican fungus are (7,482; 10,923; 14,695; 15,742; 17,325 mm) on 5 variations of the concentration.

The chewing of Areca catechu nut, more popularly known as betel nut, is one of the ancient traditions in India and other South-east Asian countries. Other than its role played in religious practices and cultural rituals, areca nut has also been described to have various health benefits, particularly antihelminthic and antiviral properties, in the traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda. It was observed to produce an antidepressant-like effect by elevating the serotonin and norepinephrine levels in hippocampus of rats. It also exhibited analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities in mice, and displayed in vitro antioxidant activity. Furthermore, it was found to improve spatial memory and learning behaviour in rats.

The Difference

The use of mouthwash is an effective way to help cure gingivitis. Mouthwash that is often used is mouthwash containing antiseptic. Recently, there has been increasing use of traditional medicines that are considered safer such as areca nuts compared to chemically synthesized agents. The aim of this study was to calculate the difference in the healing of chronic gingivitis due to calculus between gargling using areca nut (Areca catechu) extract and using Chlorhexidine 0.2% solution. This was an experimental test with pre and post-test control group design and involved two treatment groups. A total of 30 subjects with grade 2 gingivitis were being admitted. The first group was given mouthwash with areca nut (Areca catechu) extract and another group with Chlorhexidine 0.2% twice daily for three days. The mean gingival index in the group which gargled using betel nut seed (Areca catechu) extract on the first day was 1,93±0,704 followed by 0,40±0,507 on the second day, and 0,00±0,00 on the third day, on the other hand the mean gingival index in the group which gargled using Chlorhexidine 0.2% solution was 1,93±0,704 on the first day, 0,40±0,507 on the second day, and 0,00±0,00 on the third day. The mean gingival index decreased significantly during observation period in both treatment groups but when being compared to each other there was no significant difference in the healing time of chronic gingivitis in group which gargled using betel nut seed extract (Areca catechu) and Chlorhexidine 0.2% solution.

Natural dyes are an alternative dye that is not toxic, environmentally, friendly and easily degraded. Therefore, optimizing the use of body coloring sources is carried out. One of the natural dyes released is tannin from betel nuts. Tannins are polar pigments. This study aims to determine the results of natural dyes in betel nuts and find out the durability produced and known organoleptic results. Dyestuff extraction from betel nuts was carried out with 96% ethanol. Testing the color stability of betel nut seedlings was carried out on the effect of pH, temperature and storage time with the method UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Then the application of betel nut dyes on beverage products was carried out. The results showed that betel fruit produced tannin dyes in brownish red color with an average tannin content of 28.002 mg/L. Dyes stabilized at pH of 6 by heating at 400C and storage for 2 days. The results of organoleptic tests showed that the extract of areca nut powder can be used as a natural dye in beverage products with a level of color, smell and flavor that emits at a concentration of 0.005 g/mL of dyes.

Oily Liquid

ABSTRACT: Arecoline is a nicotinic acid-based alkaloid found in the areca nut, the fruit of the areca palm (Areca catechu). It is an oily liquid that is soluble in water, alcohols, and ether. HPLC method is simple and rapid for determination of arecoline content in areca nut. Areca samples were collected from Shimoga, Davanagere, Chikkamagalur, Chitradurga, Dakshina kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka, India. The collected areca samples were powdered and arecoline is extracted from samples collected from different hoblies of the districts. The extraction method was optimized to obtain pure arecoline before analysis to separate any interference in order to maximize the specificity and sensitivity of the method. The regionwise arecoline content has been compared. The concentration of arecoline varied from area to area depending on environmental factors, differential processing methods, age of the plantations, varietal differences etc.
