Locust bean pulp and gum extracts were prepared, and phytochemical tests based on color reactions and chromatographic analyzes were performed. A profile of seventy-six phenolic compounds was obtained by the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The main groups of phenolic compounds identified in the both extracts of Ceratonia siliqua L., were flavonoids, tannins and phenolic acids. Moreover, carob pulp and gum extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity using disk diffusion tests which showed sensitivity of the different strains to the analyzed extracts at a concentration of 100 mg/mL. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of Ceratonia siliqua L. extracts was assessed by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl acid test, which confirmed stronger antioxidant properties in the case of the pulp extract. To sum up, carob pulp and gum extracts present promising alternatives to synthetic additives within the medicinal industry, serving as potential antioxidant agents and preservatives that combat bacterial contamination, thereby offering a more natural approach to enhancing product safety and efficacy.
胍尔胶和刺槐豆胶被制备出来,并进行了基于颜色反应和色谱分析的植物化学测试。通过超高效液相色谱-电喷雾电离-四极杆飞行时间质谱法获得了 76 种酚类化合物的图谱。在刺槐豆胶的两种提取物中鉴定出的主要酚类化合物组分为黄酮类、单宁和酚酸。此外,使用圆盘扩散试验测试了角豆果肉和胶提取物的抗菌活性,结果表明不同菌株在 100mg/mL 的浓度下对分析提取物敏感。此外,通过 2,2-二苯基-1-苦肼基自由基试验评估了刺槐豆胶提取物的抗氧化活性,结果证实果肉提取物具有更强的抗氧化性能。总之,角豆果肉和胶提取物为医药行业中的合成添加剂提供了有前景的替代品,可作为潜在的抗氧化剂和防腐剂,对抗细菌污染,从而提供更自然的方法来提高产品的安全性和功效。
