  • Antioxidative Activities of Water Extracts of Some Malaysian Herbs 61
    ASEAN Food Journal 14 (1): 61-68 (2007) Antioxidative Activities of Water Extracts of Some Malaysian Herbs 61 Antioxidative Activities of Water Extracts of Some Malaysian Herbs 1Huda-Faujan, N., *2Noriham, A., 3Norrakiah, A.S. and 3Babji, A.S. 1Food Biotechnology Programme, Faculty of Science and Technology, Kolej Universiti Islam Malaysia, Bandar Baru Nilai, 71800 Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia 2Food Technology Programme, Faculty of Applied Science, Universiti Technology MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia 3Food Science Programme, School of Chemical Sciences and Food Technology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia Abstract: This study was conducted on selected local herbs such as ulam raja (Cosmos caudatus), kesum (Polygonum minus), selom (Oenanthe javanica), pegaga (Centella asiatica) and curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) to investigate their antioxidative activities. The water extracts of the herbs were analysed for total phenolic content, reducing antioxidant power, ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test was also accried out. Polygonum minus showed the highest total phenolic content and reducing power among the herbs. Increasing the concentration of the extracts resulted in increased Fe3+ reducing antioxidant power for all the herbs. FTC and TBA tests on the extracts during seven days of storage showed that all the herbs extracts had the ability to reduce oxidation compared to the control (P < 0.05). From the FTC analysis, Murraya koenigii leaves was best in reducing the oxidation rate (67.67%) compared to the other herbs studied. Analysis of TBA showed that Centella asiatica extract had the highest antioxidant effect. However, both TBA and FTC analysis for these two herbs showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) from Polygonum minus and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHT) a synthetic antioxidant.

  • Various Parameters Influencing to Production of Water Dropwort (Oenanthe Javanica) Tea
    Nguyen Phuoc Minh /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 11(4), 2019, 1358-1361 Various Parameters Influencing to Production of Water Dropwort (Oenanthe Javanica) Tea Nguyen Phuoc Minh Faculty of Natural Sciences, Thu Dau Mot University, Binh Duong Province, Vietnam Abstract. Water dropwort (Oenanthe javanica) has various phytochemicals such as amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, steroids and terpenoids, saponins, tannins, cardiac glycosides except alkaloids and phlobatannins.The present study focused on the effect of blanching time and temperature, CaCl2 concentration in blanching; Oenanthe javanica leaf size and temperature in drying; and storage condition to saponin (µg/g) content in the herbal tea. The optimal results o o demonstrated that blanching at 95 C, 5 sesonds with 0.2% CaCl2; heat pump drying at 50 C in dimension of 2.0cm; storage at 4oC in PET/AL/PE (vaccum) could maintain the saponin content in herbal tea for 6 weeks without any decomposition.

  • Seedling Establishment, Bud Movement, and Subterranean Diversity of Geophilous Systems in Apiaceae
    Flora (2002) 197, 385–393 http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/flora Seedling establishment, bud movement, and subterranean diversity of geophilous systems in Apiaceae Norbert Pütz1* & Ina Sukkau2 1 Institute of Nature Conservation and Environmental Education, University of Vechta, Driverstr. 22, D-49377 Vechta, Germany 2 Institute of Botany, RWTH Aachen, Germany * author for correspondence: e-mail: [email protected] Received: Nov 29, 2001 · Accepted: Jun 10, 2002 Summary Geophilous systems of plants are not only regarded as organs of underground storage. Such systems also undergo a large range of modifications in order to fulfill other ‚cryptical‘ functions, e.g. positioning of innovation buds, vegetative cloning, and vege- tative dispersal. Seedlings should always be the point of departure for any investigation into the structure of geophilous systems. This is because in the ability to survive of geophilous plants it is of primary importance that innovation buds can reach a safe position in the soil by the time the first period hostile to vegetation commences. Our analysis of such systems thus focused on examining the development of 34 species of the Apiaceae, beginning with their germination. Independent of life-form and life-span, all species exhibit noticeable terminal bud movement with the aid of contractile organs. Movement was found to be at least 5 mm, reaching a maximum of 45 mm. All species exhibit a noticeable contraction of the primary root. In most cases the contraction phenomenon also occurs in the hypocotyl, and some species show contraction of their lateral and / or adventitious roots. Analysis of movement shows the functional importance of pulling the inno- vation buds down into the soil.

The compounds obtained from the oil of Water Dropwort were richer in sesquiterperpenes such as α-Copaene (18.3%), Z-Caryophyllene (0.34%) α-Cuprenene (0.40%) and Cembrene-type diterpenes such as Incensole (26.4%) and Cembrenol (0.45%). However, essential oil obtained from ‘Kacip Fatimah’ was predominated with sesquiterpenes alcohols such as Longiborneol (4.83%), Geranyl linalool (3.90%) and T-Cadinol (24.78%). Other significant constituents of the oil from ‘Kacip Fatimah’ were the diterpenes alcohol, Isoabienol (7.89%), β-Santalol acetate (9.35%) and 1, 4-trans-6-methoxyliso-calamene (13.75%). Keywords: ‘Kacip Fatimah’ (Labisia pumila), Water Dropwort (Oenanthe javanica), volatiles, essential oil, constituents Introduction herbaceous under shrub that roots from the stem with few leaves pointing upwards.

  • Aliphatic C17-Polyacetylenes of the Falcarinol Type As Potential Health Promoting Compounds in Food Plants of the Apiaceae Family
    64 Recent Patents on Food, Nutrition & Agriculture, 2011, 3, 64-77 Aliphatic C17-Polyacetylenes of the Falcarinol Type as Potential Health Promoting Compounds in Food Plants of the Apiaceae Family Lars P. Christensen* Institute of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and Environmental Technology, University of Southern Denmark, Niels Bohrs Allé 1, DK-5230 Odense M, Denmark Received: August 20, 2010; Accepted: November 10, 2010; Revised: November 11, 2010 Abstract: Many epidemiological studies have provided evidence that a high intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk for the development of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Fruits and vegetables are known to contain health promoting components such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and dietary fibers, however, it is unclear which of these are responsible for the health promoting properties of fruits and vegetables. Aliphatic C17-polyacetylenes of the falcarinol type, which occur in common food plants of the Apiaceae family such as carrot, celeriac, parsnip and parsley, have demonstrated interesting bioactivities including antibacterial, antimycobacterial, and antifungal activity as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet-aggregatory, neuritogenic and serotonergic effects. In addition, the cytotoxicity of falcarinol type polyacetylenes towards human cancer cells, bioavailability, and their potential anticancer effect in vivo indicates that these compounds may contribute to the health effects of certain vegetables and hence could be important nutraceuticals. The bioactivity of falcarinol type polyacetylenes occurring in food plants of the Apiaceae family, their possible mode of action and possible health promoting effects are discussed in this review as well as the effect of storage, processing and other factors that can influence the content of these compounds in root vegetables and products.
