Abstract

This study aims to investigate the total chemical component, biological activity and chromatographic analysis of the fruit extract of Styrax officinalis, obtained from local markets trading local products in the Gaziantep region. Methanol was used to extract the pericarp and seed samples that make up the fruit. Fruit pericarp extract with high phenolic content showed a significant capacity in all antioxidant activity analyses. No antibacterial activity of the extracts was observed against the standard strains used. Regarding phenolic acid content, the most abundant phenolic acid in the fruit pericarp extract was chrysin and t-cinnamic acid. In contrast, in the seed extract, it was t-cinnamic acid and quercetin. HPLC results revealed that succinic acid was the main component of organic acid contents in all extracts. The fact that the main components determined from all analyses have various strong pharmacological activities reveals the importance of the widespread use of S. officinalis.

Styrax officinalis Meyve Özütünün Toplam Kimyasal Bileşenler, Biyolojik Aktivite ve Kromotografik Analizleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Gaziantep bölgesindeki yöresel ürünlerin ticaretini yapan yerel marketlerden temin edilen Styrax officinalis’in meyve özütünün toplam kimyasal bileşenini, biyolojik aktivitesini ve kromatografik analizini araştırmaktır. Meyveyi oluşturan perikarp ve tohum örneklerini ekstrakte etmek için metanol kullanılmıştır. Yüksek fenolik içeriğe sahip meyve perikarp özütü tüm antioksidan aktivite analizlerinde önemli ölçüde bir kapasite göstermiştir. Özütlerin kullanılan standart suşlara karşı herhangi bir antibakteriyal aktivitesi gözlenememiştir. Fenolik asit içeriği bakımından meyve perikarp özütünde en bol bulunan fenolik asit krizin ve t-sinamik asit iken, tohum üzütünde ise t-sinamik asit ve kuarsetin olmuştur. HPLC sonuçları, süksinik asitin tüm özütlerde organik asit içeriklerinin ana bileşeni olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Yapılan tüm analizler sonucunda belirlenen temel bileşenlerin çeşitli güçlü farmakolojik aktivitelere sahip olması S. officinalis’in yaygın olarak kullanılmasının önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
