Ethanolic extract of Betel ( Piper betle L.) and Chaphlu ( Piper sarmentosum Roxb.) dechlorophyllized using sedimentation process: Production, characteristics, and antioxidant activities

Abstract

Sedimentation process was used to remove chlorophyll from betel leaf ethanolic extracts (BLEE) and chaphlu leaf ethanolic extracts (CLEE). The influence of water quantity on chlorophyll content, total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant activity of the extracts was studied. The sedimentation process showed a remarkable reduction in chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, and total chlorophyll contents of both extracts. Nevertheless, no differences in chlorophyll content, TPC, and antioxidant activities were observed between dechlorophyllized fractions in both extracts (p > .05). Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) profiling showed that the BLEE dechlorophyllized using the extract/water ratio of 1:1 (BLEE-DC1) had higher phenolic compounds than CLEE-DC1. Isovitexin was the most abundant compound identified in the BLEE-DC1 while vitexin 4'-O-galactoside was the most prevalent in CLEE-DC1. When thermal and pH stabilities of the dechlorophyllized extracts were tested, BLEE-DC1 exhibited more heat stability (at 60-100°C for 0-60 min) than CLEE-DC1. Both dechlorophyllized extracts showed optimum antioxidant activities at pH 5.0. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Oxidation process is associated with the numerous human diseases as well as it induces the deteriorative changes in foods, especially those rich in fat or lipid containing high polyunsaturated fatty acids. Numerous synthetic antioxidants have been employed but they may not be safe. Natural antioxidants have gained attention, particularly those from several leaves rich in polyphenols. However, due to the green color caused by chlorophylls, the extract is limited for further applications. Betel leaf ethanolic extract possessing high antioxidant activity could be dechlorophyllized using sedimentation process with the appropriate proportion of water. This green process not only showed the effective removal of chlorophyll, but also increased the proportion of polyphenol in the extract. Greenless betel leaf extract with augmented antioxidant activity can be used as natural additive to replace synthetic counterpart.
