  • Their Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibitory Activities
    antioxidants Article Semi-Continuous Subcritical Water Extraction of Flavonoids from Citrus unshiu Peel: Their Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibitory Activities Dong-Shin Kim and Sang-Bin Lim * Department of Food Bioengineering, Jeju National University, Jeju 63243, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 April 2020; Accepted: 24 April 2020; Published: 25 April 2020 Abstract: We extracted and hydrolyzed bioactive flavonoids from C. unshiu peel using subcritical water (SW) in a semi-continuous mode. The individual flavonoid yields, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of the SW extracts were analyzed. The extraction yields of hesperidin and narirutin increased with increasing temperature from 145 ◦C to 165 ◦C. Hydrothermal hydrolysis products (HHP), such as monoglucosides (hesperetin-7-O-glucoside and prunin) and aglycones (hesperetin and naringenin) were obtained in the SW extracts at temperatures above 160 ◦C. The sum of hesperidin and its HHP in the SW extracts was strongly correlated with antioxidant activities, whereas the contents of hesperetin and naringenin were strongly correlated with enzyme inhibitory activities. Hesperetin exhibited the highest antioxidant activities (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity, ferric-reducing antioxidant power, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity), whereas hesperetin-7-O-glucoside exhibited the highest enzyme inhibitory activities (angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) and pancreatic lipase (PL)). Naringenin exhibited the highest enzyme inhibitory activities (xanthine oxidase and α-glucosidase). PMFs (sinensetin, nobiletin, and tangeretin) also exhibited relatively high inhibitory activities against ACE and PL. This study confirms the potential of SW for extracting and hydrolyzing bioactive flavonoids from C. unshiu peel using an environmentally friendly solvent (water) and a shorter extraction time.

  • The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants
    medicines Review The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants William N. Setzer 1,2 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519 2 Aromatic Plant Research Center, 230 N 1200 E, Suite 102, Lehi, UT 84043, USA Received: 25 October 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Background: Native Americans have had a rich ethnobotanical heritage for treating diseases, ailments, and injuries. Cherokee traditional medicine has provided numerous aromatic and medicinal plants that not only were used by the Cherokee people, but were also adopted for use by European settlers in North America. Methods: The aim of this review was to examine the Cherokee ethnobotanical literature and the published phytochemical investigations on Cherokee medicinal plants and to correlate phytochemical constituents with traditional uses and biological activities. Results: Several Cherokee medicinal plants are still in use today as herbal medicines, including, for example, yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and blue skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). This review presents a summary of the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Cherokee aromatic and medicinal plants. Conclusions: The list is not complete, however, as there is still much work needed in phytochemical investigation and pharmacological evaluation of many traditional herbal medicines. Keywords: Cherokee; Native American; traditional herbal medicine; chemical constituents; pharmacology 1. Introduction Natural products have been an important source of medicinal agents throughout history and modern medicine continues to rely on traditional knowledge for treatment of human maladies [1]. Traditional medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [2], Ayurvedic [3], and medicinal plants from Latin America [4] have proven to be rich resources of biologically active compounds and potential new drugs.

Naringin (995 ppm), narirutin (187 ppm), and limonoids (7.9 ppm) were detected in NZ grapefruit juice concentrate (27° Brix). Naringin was not detected in the calamansi juice, and limonin was detected at the level of 10.5 ppm in juice containing 5% crushed seeds. Maturation of the grapefruit caused an increase in pH from J.00 to J.50, an increase in total soluble solids from 10.8 to 14.4 with a decline to 13.5° Brix later in the season, a steady fall in acidity from 2.50 to 1.31 g citric acid/100 mL, and a continuous rise in the Brix/acid ratio from 4.2 to 10.J.

The ability of fermentation to improve the yield and to change the profile of phenolic compounds is mainly due to the release of bound phenolic compounds, as a consequence of the degradation of the cell wall structure by microbial enzymes produced during fermentation.

China Keywords: supported naringinase, graphene oxide, naringin, prunin, naringenin Abstract The production of citrus flavonoids prunin and naringenin has been performed selectively through the enzyme hydrolysis of naringin, a flavonoid glycoside abundant in grapefruit wastes. To produce the monoglycoside flavonoid, prunin, the crude naringinase from Penicillium decumbens has been purified by a single purification step resulting in one enzyme with high -rhamnosidase activity. Both, crude and purified enzymes have been covalently immobilized on graphene oxide. The activity of the 2 immobilized enzymes at different pH and temperatures as well as the thermal stability were determined and compared with those exhibited by the free naringinases using specific substrates: p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucoside (Glc-pNP) and p-nitrophenyl-alpha-L- rhamnopyranoside (Rha-pNP). The crude and purified naringinase supported on GO were tested in the hydrolysis of naringin giving naringenin and prunin respectively in excellent yields.
