Bioactivity evaluation for volatiles and water extract of commercialized star anise
Open accessAbstract
Background Usually, it takes about a year since the harvested fresh star anise fruit (SAF) reaches the market for consumer usage, all this time with different handling processes and different storage circumstances greatly affect its quality as well as its chemical composition and biological activity. Aim This study investigated the chemical constituents for volatiles and water extracts of commercialized SAF, as well as, their bioactivities. Results The chemical constituents were dominated by Trans -Anethole (47.16 %), estragole (14.4 %), and foeniculin (8.86 %) in the essential oils. Meanwhile, Coumarin, Apigenin, and Rosmarinic were the predominant phenolics of water extract. The result reflects a distinction of water extract to minimize mycotoxin secretion in liquid media. The SAF-volatiles were more effective in inhibiting microbial growth of the investigated bacterial and fungal strains. Conclusion Although samples were commercially collected from markets, their extracts were still capable to inhibit up to 55 % of fungal growth. The SAF water extract exhibited a moderate and selective cytotoxic effect (IC 50 = 114.9 μg/ml) against HepG2 cell lines compared to the low impact of essential oil (IC 50 = 513.8 μg/ml). Which led to the conclusion that despite the long-time span for SAF till it reaches the market, aqueous extract maintained a good ability for reducing mycotoxins-secretion from fungi grown in liquid media. This result emphasizes the role of the phenolics of water extracts' as an anti-mycotoxigenic agent.

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.
