A comprehensive chemical profiling of phytochemicals from Trachyspermum ammi and encapsulation for sustained release was written by Dutta, Shuvajit;Kundu, Aditi;Dutta, Anirban;Saha, Supradip;Banerjee, Kaushik. And the article was included in LWT–Food Science and Technology in 2021.Formula: C14H12O4 This article mentions the following:
Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague, commonly called ‘Ajwain’ has been exploited for its huge ethonopharmacol. properties. Inspite of being extensively investigated, comprehensive studies on value addition for product development are lacking. Efforts have been made to identify suitable extraction technique for maximum extraction without hampering antioxidant potential. Effects of extraction techniques, conventional solid liquid extraction (CSLE), high speed homogenization extraction (HHE), ultra-sound assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave assisted extraction (MAE) on extraction yield, total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activities were assessed. The study revealed highest extraction yield with methanol (100%) using MAE. However, the highest TPC (1860 ± 31.2 mg GAE 100g DW-1) achieved extraction with methanol (100%) using UAE for 20.0 min. DPPH and ABTS assays showed excellent radical scavenging potential of methanolic concentrate with EC50 43.6 and 96.2, with reducing powder 157 Trolox Equivalent (μgmL-1) in CUPRAC assay, resp. UPLC-QToF-ESI-MS anal. revealed putative characterization of thirty-seven phytochems. Rosmarinyl-3-O-glucoside (R3Og) was isolated and characterized spectroscopically. Finally, R3Og was encapsulated within WPI by heat gelation, characterized by FT-IR and SEM. Kinetics study of apparently pH independent release behavior of R3Og from the WPI matrix suggested that the release was controlled by rapid relaxation of WPI aggregates and dominated at highly acidic pH. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (E)-4-(3,5-Dihydroxystyryl)benzene-1,2-diol (cas: 10083-24-6Formula: C14H12O4).
(E)-4-(3,5-Dihydroxystyryl)benzene-1,2-diol (cas: 10083-24-6) belongs to alcohols. The oxygen atom of the strongly polarized O―H bond of an alcohol pulls electron density away from the hydrogen atom. This polarized hydrogen, which bears a partial positive charge, can form a hydrogen bond with a pair of nonbonding electrons on another oxygen atom. Under carefully controlled conditions, simple alcohols can undergo intermolecular dehydration to give ethers. This reaction is effective only with methanol, ethanol, and other simple primary alcohols.Formula: C14H12O4
