Efficacy of Green Extracting Solvents on Antioxidant, Xanthine Oxidase, and Plant Inhibitory Potentials of Solid-Based Residues (SBRs) of Cordyceps militaris

Solid-based residues (SBRs) of Cordyceps militaris are often considered as waste after the cultivation fruiting body. To demonstrate value this by-product, different ratios two favorable green solvents (EtOH and water) were employed to optimize yields cordycepin (Cor) adenosine (Ado) investigate relevant activities plant growth inhibition (allelopathy), antioxidants, xanthine oxidase. The SBR extracts 60% EtOH-40% water (W4) 40% EtOH-60% (W6) exhibited highest antioxidant activity well yielded optimum content Cor Ado. W4 Wt (hot maximum inhibitory effects on Raphanus sativus (radish), Lactuca sativa (lettuce) noxious weeds, Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard grass) Bidens pilosa (beggarticks). Furthermore, GC-MS scan analysis revealed presence 14 major compounds in SBRs. is best solvent Ado, having strongest levels activity, oxidase, growth-inhibitory activity. This study reveals that SBRs a potential source medicinal agricultural utilization.
