This study is aimed to prepare propolis extracts by using two different solvents which are ethanol and water via maceration method and to evaluate the total phenolic and flavonoid components of the extract. Optimization of the extraction process was done by using different solvents and sample-to-solvent ratio. The ethanolic and water extracts were analysed for the determination of Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) by using Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method and Aluminimum chloride method, respectively. Based on sample-to-solvent ratio, it showed that 1:10 gave the highest percentage yield compared to other ratio for both solvents. Ethanolic extract resulted contains high phenolic and flavonoids content compared to water extract. The result showed that sample-to-solvent ratio 1:5 gave highest TPC and TFC in ethanolic extract which are 29.09 and 7.75 mg GAE/g, respectively. In conclusion, this study revealed that ethanol is the best extraction solvent to be used for propolis extraction compared to water. It is also demonstrated that higher volume of solvent does not leads to high values of TPC and TFC. The optimum extraction parameters and conditions are necessary to be obtained in order to extract high TPC and TFC.

Purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is one of the food commodities that contain anthocyanin. This research aimed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of anthocyanin extracts and powders from purple sweet potato. Purple sweet potato anthocyanin was extracted using a water solvent with the addition of citric acid in different concentrations (0, 2, 4, and 6 g/100 mL). Ethanol solvent was used as a control. Foam mat drying was performed using variations of egg white composition (10 and 20 mg/100 mL). The result showed that extraction using a water solvent with 2 g/100 mL of citric acid was the most effective condition to obtain the highest total anthocyanin content (p < 0.05). However, its total phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant activity were lower compared to others. Total anthocyanin content of foam mat dried purple sweet potato powder made from the citric acid-water extract was significantly higher than the powder made from the citric acid-ethanol extract (p < 0.05). There was no effect in the total phenolic, flavonoid, viscosity, and yellowish-red color of the powder obtained from citric acid-water extract as the increase of egg white concentration. The use of 20 g/100 mL egg white in both powders produced from citric acid-water and ethanol extracts resulted in higher total anthocyanins and solubilities than powders using 10 g/100 mL egg white. The color of the powder obtained from citric acid-water extract had a lower brightness level and higher yellowish-red color intensity compared to the powder made from citric acidethanol extract.

Researchers around the world are in continuous endeavor to develop environment friendly tanning agent due to adverse effect of conventionally used chromium during leather tanning. Recent trend of tanning is thus heading to chrome-free and greener chemical processing options. Vegetable tanning is an exoteric leather processing technique because of their lower pollution load on the environment. Considering the inadequacy and high costing for the commercialized tannins, development of alternative tannins from locally available plants and their characterizations are important. In this research, the stem barks of Trema Orientalis (L.) were extracted at different temperatures employing water solvent with or without additives (sodium hydroxide or sodium sulphite) to attain phenolic-rich extractives. To ascertain appropriateness as a vegetable tanning agent, the obtained extracts were thereafter characterized in respect to yield, total phenolic content, tannin content and molecular structure. The extraction yield for all extracts improves and the quality remains nearly unchanged with temperature rising. The elevated concentration of chemical additives enhances the extraction yield but lessens the quality of extracts. In terms of extraction yield and the quality of extracts the best condition for extraction was discerned at 80°C with water solvent. This water extract has a decent extent of phenolic and tannin content of 266.13 mg Gallic acid equivalent/ gm of dry extract and 30.12 % respectively. The final extract exhibits excellent leather retanning tendency comparable to the commercial quebracho tannins.

The objective of the current study is represented by the determination of silica and a phytochemical screening of phenolic derivates of some Equisetum species. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity for Equisetum pratense Ehrh.,, Equisetum sylvaticum L. and Equisetum telmateia Ehrh. (sin. Equisetum maximum Lam.) were also investigated. The concentration of silicon (Si) in plants was determined by the spectrophotometric method using previous treatment with NaOH 50% both for the stem and the nodal branches [1]. Results obtained varied from 95.12 to 162.10 SiO2 mg/g dry plant which represents 4.44% to 7.58% Si/100g dry sample. Two types of total extracts were obtained using different solvents and were subjected to qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis considering total phenolic content [2]. The highest concentration of investigated compounds was found in the methanolic extract, E. sylvaticum, 196.5mg/g dry sample. Antioxidant activity was monitored spectrophotometrically and expressed in terms of IC50 (�g/mL) [3]. Values gathered ranged from 261.7 to 429.5 �g/mL. The highest capacity to neutralized DPPH radicals was found in E. sylvaticum. In vitro antimicrobial activity was determined using difusimetric method [4]. Testing was performed on four microorganisms: three strains of bacteria and one species of fungi. Different effects were noticed against the bacteria, furthermore the methanol extract appeared to be most efficient. All extracts showed significand antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Candida albicans (ATCC 90028) and weak to no activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922).

AbstractFifteen attached macroalgae from the Madeira Archipelago, comprising three green, three red and nine brown algal species, as well as two beach-cast macroalgal samples, collected along the north shore of Gran Canaria, were assessed for their biochemical properties. The analysis included the determination of total minerals, total carbohydrates, protein, lipids, chlorophyll a, total carotenoids, total phenolic content, fucoxanthin and phycobilins (allophycocyanin, phycocyanin and phycoerythrin). The results showed a high variability of biochemical composition, allowing for the targetting of specific bioresources for particular purposes, including functional foods. This work provides the foundation for a biorefinery strategy implementation plan, for which specific macroalgae may be targeted for valuable and beneficial compounds.
