Plant latex is well-established as a defensive exudate against natural herbivory. However, its bioactive properties and potential use as a clinical adjunct are not fully explored in the current literature. In this study, latex was procured from Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (jackfruit) and subsequently evaluated for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Aqueous extract (AE) and trifluoroethanol extract (TFE) of jackfruit latex were prepared using distilled water and trifluoroethanol. Both extracts were then characterized via thin-layer chromatography (TLC), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Antimicrobial activity and antioxidant activity were determined for the extracts. Antibacterial activity was exhibited by TFE against P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and Bacillus sp. The antioxidant activity of AE was significantly higher than TFE.

Cocoa pod extract ((Theobroma cacao L.) has antioxidant and antimicrobial activity that has the potential as a natural food preservative. However, in its use the cocoa fruit skin extract has a disadvantage because the short shelf time and its application to food are limited, efforts are needed to prevent damage and extend shelf life, one of the efforts that can be done is by encapsulating the extract.This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity and antioxidant encapsulation of cocoa peel extract, this study begins with the extraction of cocoa pods with ethanol solvent by comparing cocoa pods : solvent 1: 4 The skin of cacao cocoa fruit used is yellow harvested cocoa fruit, then chopped and dried to form flour.The sample is extracted by maceration with ethanol solvent Antioxidant test is done by DPPH method, while antibacterial test is carried out by the well diffusion method. This study used a completely randomized design method (CRD) with 5 treatments using a maltodextrin concentration of 20% (M1); 30% (M2); 40% (M3); 50% (M4) and 60% (M5). The results showed that the treatment gave the highest yield in the treatment of 60% maltodextrin concentration (M5), while the highest antioxidant activity was obtained in the treatment of 20% maltodextrin (M1) with IC50 75.98 µg / mL and the treatment with the lowest antioxidant activity was obtained at treatment of 60% maltodextrin concentration (M5) with IC50 value 114.89 µg / mL. While for the antimicrobial activity also obtained with the same results, namely treatment of 20% (M1) obtained a higher inhibition diameter compared to treatment at 30%; 40%; 50% and 60% for all types of bacteria. The inhibition diameter in the treatment of the concentration of maltodextrin 20% (M1) for E. coli bacteria is between 4.12 mm - 10.95 mm, Salmonella sp is 2.85 mm - 8 , 25 mm and for Staphylococcusaureus of 5.15 mm - 13.90 mm and the lowest inhibition diameter was obtained in the treatment of 60% maltodextrin concentration (M5) for E. coli bacteria of between 2.0 mm - 4.79 mm, Salmonella sp of 1.15 mm - 4.35 mm and for Staphylococcusaureusat 2.76 mm - 5.17 mm.This study concluded that the encapsulation of cocoa peel extract using 20% maltodextrin had the highest antioxidant and antimicrobial activity when compared with other treatments namely 30% concentration; 40%; 50% and 60% but for the treatment of 20% and 30% there is no difference. Ethanol extract of cocoa pods can be made in the form of encapsulates which are very likely to be used as natural preservatives.

Seed oils from two Mexican varieties of cactus pear (green: Opuntia albicarpa and red: Opuntia ficus indica) were extracted with different solvents (hexane, ethanol, and ethyl acetate) to evaluate their antioxidant activity. The seed oil with higher antioxidant activity was selected to evaluate antimicrobial activity. The fatty acid profile was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Oil from green cactus pear seeds obtained with ethanol and ethyl acetate exhibited higher antioxidant activity (p<0.05) of 323 and 316 μmol TE/20 mg (p < 0.05), respectively, compared to red cactus pear seed oil (≈274 and 247 μmol TE/20 mg with ethyl acetate and ethanol, resp.). The oil obtained with ethanol and higher antioxidant activity was used to determine the antimicrobial activity. Both cactus pear oils produced a microbial inhibition zone in most of the microorganisms evaluated, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae which had similar diameter (38–40 mm). The oil fatty acids profiles of both varieties were similar and exhibited a high content of linoleic acid, while two fatty acids (linolenic and behenic) found in red cactus pear were not observed in the green variety.

The bioactive properties of unconventional fruits have been of interest in recent research. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bioactivity of Terminalia catappa Linn fruit and seed through its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microorganisms. The fruit and the seed were analyzed for the physical-chemical parameters of pH, aw, humidity, ashes, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. After drying, pulp and almond flours were evaluated for bioactivity (total phenolics, tannins, anthocyanins and flavonoids and antioxidant-DPPH) and antimicrobial activity. The fruit had a higher carbohydrate content (15.65%), while the seed was characterized by high lipid content (48.52% ± 0.31) and protein (26.40% ± 0.10). The pulp flour showed significant amounts of tannins (1662.68 mg.100-1 g ± 1.27) and antimicrobial activity inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium perfringens and Listeria monocytogenes. The seed flour presented antioxidant activity (46.05 mg.100-1 g ± 0.23), but did not present inhibitory power against the tested bacterial strains. Terminalia catappa Linn fruit can be an alternative new ingredient with natural antioxidant action.
