Abstract

Abstract Opuntia stricta the shrubby plant is naturally occurring in all parts of the world used as popular ornamental and is known to have medicinal properties due to its phytochemical compositions. In this study, the effect of solvents (80% ethanol, 80% methanol and 80% acetone (v/v) in water) on the extraction yield, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity of Opuntia stricta fruit were investigated. For the antioxidant activity assay, three different in-vitro methods DPPH, ABTS and FRAP were followed. The One-way ANOVA calculations showed that the extraction solvents influenced greatly and significantly the TPC, TFC and antioxidant capacity. Overall, 80% ethanol showed highest percentage of extraction yield while 80% acetone extract showed the lowest extraction yield but the highest TPC, TFC and antioxidant activity of Opuntia stricta fruit. In addition, Pearson’s correlation analysis proved a strong correlation between TPC, TFC and all antioxidant methods used. The antibacterial tests demonstrated that 80% methanol and 80% acetone extracts exhibited the highest zones of inhibition (11.66 and 11.33 mm respectively, p > 0.05) against Salmonella thyphimurium . Likewise, the 80% acetone extract revealed the best inhibitory effect contra Escherichia coli (p > 0.05) with an inhibition zone of 11 cm. Unfortunately, it was observed that gram-positive bacteria were less sensitive to all Opuntia stricta extracts compared to the gram-negative bacteria.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
