Improved yield and antioxidant activity of essential oil from Alpinia zerumbet (Zingiberaceae) leaves by underwater shockwave pretreatment

چکیده
The aromatic perennial plant Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) Burtt & Smith (Zingiberaceae) is widely distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Japan, from southern Kyushu to Ryukyu Islands. Its essential oil has a distinct aroma antioxidant activity but expensive due low extraction efficiencies. Applying underwater shockwave pretreatment A. leaves expected enable more effective during subsequent steam distillation. Thus, we subjected analyzed its effects on yield components. Multiple cracks formed cell walls via spalling destruction induced by shockwaves, creating permeation pathways that improved passage water vapor greatly increased yield. Moreover, extract. Underwater processing selectively effectively destroyed fiber and/or structures leaves, resulting efficient extraction. This novel process potential for application many processes, such as compounds medicinal plants. dynamic control instantaneous high pressures based shockwaves could pave way new field industrial technology.

Volatile essential oil constituents of Alpinia smithiae (Zingiberaceae).
The composition of leaf and rhizome essential oils of Alpinia smithiae that grow wild in the Western Ghats of Kerala (South India) was analysed by gas chromatography. The major components were beta-caryophyllene, sabinene, myrcene and 1,8-cineole in both samples, but variation in the yield of oil as well as the major components between the two plant parts was observed.
متن کاملVasorelaxant and antihypertensive effects of methanolic fraction of the essential oil of Alpinia zerumbet.
Alpinia zerumbet is used in folk medicine in Brazil to treat hypertension. However, several pathways involved in the mechanism of vasorelaxation are still unclear. This study was designed to verify the antihypertensive effect of the methanolic fraction of the essential oil of A. zerumbet (MFEOAz) and to characterize its mechanism of action. The thoracic aortic rings from the Wistar rats were pe...
