Optimization of extraction of loquat flowers polyphenolics and its antioxidant and anti-polyphenol oxidase properties.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the conditions of extraction of loquat flowers polyphenolics were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM). Proper extraction conditions were: solid to liquid ratio 1 g per 50 mL and ethanol concentration 50% at 61°C for 9 min. Furthermore, the antioxidant and anti-polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of purified total polyphenolics (PTP) were investigated. PTP displayed strong antioxidant activity with IC₅₀ values of 126.3 ± 8.9, 162.4 ± 6.3 and 94.97 mg ascorbic acid equivalent/g dry weight (mg AAE/d.w.) for ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP assays. In addition, PTP has a substantial inhibitory activity on PPO (IC₅₀ = 115 ± 9.2 μg/mL). From the kinetics analysis, it was proved to be a reversible and mixed-type inhibitor of PPO with K_I and K_IS values of 76.77 μg/mL and 227.86 μg/mL, respectively. Further, the molecular mechanism underlying the inhibition of PPO by PTP was investigated by molecular docking techniques. The results showed that PTP units could form interaction with the catalytic pocket of PPO through the interaction with amino acid residues in the enzyme active center. The antioxidant activities of PTP together with its effect on PPO activity provide a strong starting point for their practical usage in the food industry.

Project description:A fully-detailed LC-MS qualitative profiling of red grape skin, extracted with a mixture of ethanol and water (70:30 v:v) has permitted the identification of 65 compounds which can be classified into the following chemical classes: organic and phenolic acids (14 compounds), stilbenoids (1 compound), flavanols (21 compounds), flavonols (15 compounds) and anthocyanins (14 compounds). The extraction yield obtained with water at different temperatures (100 °C, 70 °C, room temperature) was then evaluated and the overall polyphenol content indicates that EtOH:H2O solvent is the most efficient and selective for polyphenol extraction. However, by analyzing the recovery yield of each single polyphenol, we found that water extraction under heating conditions is effective (extraction yield similar or even better in respect to the binary solvent) for some polyphenolic classes, such as hydrophilic procyanidins, phenolic acids, flavonol glucosides and stilbenoids. However, according to their lipophilic character, a poor yield was found for the most lipophilic components, such as flavonol aglycones, and in general for anthocyanins. The radical scavenging activity was in accordance with the polyphenol content, and hence, much higher for the extract obtained with the binary solvent in respect to water extraction. All the tested extracts were found to have an anti-inflammatory activity in the R3/1 cell line with NF-kb reporter challenged with 0.01 µg/mL of IL-1α, in a 1 to 250 µg/mL concentration range. An intriguing result was that the EtOH:H2O extract was found to be superimposable with that obtained using water at 100 °C despite the lower polyphenol content. Taken together, the results show the bioactive potentialities of grape skin extracts and the possibility to exploit this rich industrial waste. Water extraction carried out by heating is an easy, low-cost and environmentally friendly extraction method for some polyphenol classes and may have great potential for extracts with anti-inflammatory activities.
