Purpose: To develop Thai pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) as an antioxidant ingredient for topical emulsion.Methods: Dried leaf and root of P. amaryllifolius (Pandanceae) were extracted separately by maceration with either ethanol or propylene glycol. Antioxidant capacity was investigated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picry hydrazyl radical (DPPH) and linoleic acid peroxidation method. The total phenoliccontent was measured by Folin-Ciocalteau assay. Oil-in-water topical emulsions containing the individual extracts were prepared and tested for stability.Results: Propylene glycol extract exhibited higher DPPH activity and total phenolic content than the ethanol extract while the DPPH activity of the leaf extract was higher than that of the root. The 50 % inhibition concentration (IC50) value of leaf and root extracts was 0.810 and 2.340 mg/ml, respectively. Although the antioxidant activity of the crude extracts was lower than that of standard vitamin C and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), the ethanol/propylene glycol solution extract (ethanol was reduced to50 % extract volume) showed higher inhibition (90.1 %) of linoleic acid peroxidation than 200 ppm of vitamin C (57.1 %) and BHT (71.1 %). An oil-in-water emulsion containing 3 % of the ethanol and propylene glycol extract showed creamy texture with medium viscosity and demonstrated good stability under accelerated aging test.Conclusion: The results indicate a potential for the development of P. amaryllifolius leaf extract as an antioxidant ingredient in topically applied formulations.Keywords: Pandanus amaryllifolius, Extraction, Antioxidant, Emulsion, Stability.

The effects of walnut leaf powder (WLP), walnut leaf extract (WLE) and cherry stem extract (CSE) on the oxidative and color stability of cooked pork patties were determined and compared with 0.01% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and control (without antioxidant). Instrumental color, pH, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and sensory attributes were determined on manufactured patties initially (time 0) and after 5, 10 and 15 days of refrigerated storage. Addition of walnut leaf extract to pork patties was more effective than cherry stem extract in controlling lipid oxidation and color changes during cold storage, in agreement with results from the in vitro antioxidant activity. The natural additives significantly (p<0.05) increased phenolic content and antioxidant activity in cooked pork patties as compared to control and BHT treated samples, throughout the storage period. After 15 days, the TBARS values were significantly (p<0.05) reduced from 3.01 in control patties to 2.43, 1.58, 1.83 and 1.19 mg malondialdehyde per kg samples in patties with BHT, WLE, CSE and WLP, respectively. Addition of extracts showed positive effects on sensory attributes, the highest scores being achieved by WLP treated samples.    ********* In press - Online First.

Chlorophyll is a natural coloring agent that has antioxidant activity. During the extraction and food processing process, chlorophyll is easily degraded and derivatized. The derivatization process results in changes in the chemical structure of chlorophyll which can result in a change in color and its antioxidant activity. The other extracted minor compounds can affect its antioxidant activity. This study aimed to identify the chemical structure changes of chlorophyll extracted from pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb) leaves as affected by the derivatization process and evaluate the antioxidant activity of the extracts and fractions of chlorophyll and its derivatives. Chlorophyll was extracted from pandan leaves with acetone, derivatized, and then purified by fractionation using column chromatography. Chlorophyll extract and its derivatives were analyzed for total carotenoid, total phenolic, and flavonoid contents. The antioxidant activity of extract and fraction was measured by the inhibition of peroxidation of linoleic acid, radical scavenging activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing/ antioxidant power (FRAP) ability, and metal chelating assay. Based on the FTIR and MS/MS spectra, it was observed that the first derivatives were pheophytin and chlorophyllide, while the second derivative was pheophorbide. The other extracted compounds, including phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and carotenoids, might enhance the antioxidant activity of the chlorophyll derivatives. The inhibition rate of linoleic acid peroxidation by chlorophyll, chlorophyllide, and pheophorbide extract was not significantly different from BHT, where pheophytin extract was lower. The radical scavenging activity of DPPH and FRAP assay showed that chlorophyll and chlorophyllide extracts exhibited higher activity, followed by pheophytin and pheophorbide. Meanwhile, the metal chelating assay showed that chlorophyllide fraction exhibited the lowest activity. Therefore, the antioxidant activity of the first derivatives of chlorophyll was higher than the second derivatives. In general, the extract of chlorophyll and its derivatives exhibited higher antioxidant activity than that of their fraction.

Indonesia traditional beverages such as minuman jahe, kunyit asam, beras kencur, and minuman temulawak are usually made with the addition of spices. They can be served in the form of  liquid or powder. This research was aimed to study the effect of  the beverage type, addition of spices, and the form of product on their antioxidant activity. The type of sugar used in this study was palm sugar juice. Total phenolic contents were measured to  indicate the level of antioxidants. Measurement of antioxidant  activity was conducted by analyzing malonaldehyde from linoleic  acid and capturing capacity of DPPH radical. The results showed  that Indonesian traditional beverage could inhibit the oxidation of linoleic acid and capture free radicals. Free radical capturing  capacity of curcuma beverage greater than other beverages, but  the malonaldehyde (MDA) inhibitor effect was not different. Total phenolic content of curcuma tended to be higher than the other traditional beverages. The addition of spices could raise the level  of total phenolic content in beverages and increase free radical  trapping capacity. Drying the beverages into powder could reduce the levels of total phenolic content and but did not reduce the  antioxidant activity. ABSTRAKMinuman tradisional Indonesia seperti minuman jahe, kunyit  asam, beras kencur, dan minuman temulawak biasanya dibuat  dengan tambahan berbagai rempah. Minuman tersebut dapat  disajikan dalam bentuk cair maupun serbuk. Penelitian ini  bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis minuman,  penambahan rempah tambahan, dan bentuk minuman terhadap aktivitas antioksidan minuman. Jenis gula yang ditambahkan  adalah gula nira. Jenis antioksidan yang diuji adalah total fenolik. Pengukuran aktivitas antioksidan dilakukan dengan uji  penghambatan malonaldehid dan kapasitas penangkapan radikal  DPPH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa minuman  tradisional Indonesia dapat menghambat oksidasi asam linoleat dan menangkap radikal bebas. Kapasitas penangkapan radikal  bebas oleh minuman temulawak lebih besar dibandingkan  minuman yang lain tetapi kemampuan penghambatan  malonaldehid (MDA) oleh minumaan tradisional tidak berbeda.  Total fenolik minuman temulawak cenderung lebih besar  dibandingkan minuman tradisional yang lain. Penambahan  rempah-rempah dapat meningkatkan kadar total fenolik  minuman dan meningkatkan kapasitas penangkapan radikal  bebas. Pembuatan minuman serbuk pada penelitian ini dapat  menurunkan kadar total fenolik tetapi tidak menurunkan aktivitas antioksidan.

The methanolic extract of Artemisia incisa Pamp. was dissolved in distilled water and successively partitioned with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The antioxidant potential of all these fractions and remaining aqueous fraction was evaluated by four methods, i.e., the scavenging activity of the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), the total antioxidant activity, the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay and the ferric thiocyanate assay. In addition, the total phenolics was determined. The obtained results revealed that among the studied fractions the ethyl acetate soluble fraction showed the most potent DPPH-radical scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 5.3 ? 0.71 ?g mL-1, which is even more effective than the standard antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (IC50 value 0f 12.1? 0.92 ?g mL-1). The ethyl acetate fraction also showed the highest FRAP value (3677.13 ? 27.1 ?g TE mL-1), inhibition of lipid peroxidation (60.93 ? 0.84 % at 500 ?g mL-1) and total phenolic content (95.5 ? 0.05 ?g GAE g-1) as compared to other fractions. However, the remaining aqueous fraction was found to posses the highest antioxidant activity of all the fractions.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to evaluate the nutritional composition and bioactive compounds of whole umbu fruit, including pulp, seed and peel, and also of a commercial umbu pulp. Samples of the fractions and of commercial pulp were analyzed for determination of minerals and proximate composition, total phenolic and antioxidant activity. Pulps and peel were also analyzed for vitamin C and carotenoids contents. Commercial pulp presented better nutritional composition than fresh pulp (P<0.05) and the peel presented higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity than seed. Peel also stood out by its vitamin C (79 mg.100 g-1) and total carotenoids (2,751 µg.100 g-1) contents, showing that, as the main barrier of the fruit for its protection, it is a fraction rich in bioactive compounds. The highest dietary fiber and iron contents were observed in umbu seed (P<0.05). Therefore, umbu by-products may be ingredients proper for development of food richer in nutrients and bioactive compounds.
