This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality and functional properties of Lam. leaves from plants cultivated in Sicily, with the objective of exploring their potential use in functional food production. Precision agriculture techniques, including unmanned aerial vehicle-based multispectral remote sensing, were used to determine the optimal harvesting time for . After harvesting, leaves were dried using a smart solar dryer system based on a wireless sensor network and milled with a laboratory centrifugal mill to produce powdered leaves (PMOLs). Plate counts showed no colonies of undesired microorganisms in PMOLs. The MiSeq Illumina analysis revealed that the class Alphaproteobacteria was dominant (83.20% of Relative Abundance) among bacterial groups found in PMOLs. The hydroalcoholic extract from PMOLs exhibited strong redox-active properties in solution assays and provided antioxidant protection in a cell-based lipid peroxidation model (CAA: 5.42 μg/mL). Additionally, it showed antiproliferative activity against three human tumour epithelial cell lines (HepG2, Caco-2, and MCF-7), with GI values ranging from 121.03 to 237.75 μg/mL. The aromatic profile of PMOLs includes seven phytochemical groups: alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, acids, terpenes, and hydrocarbons. The most representative compounds were terpenes (27.5%), ketones (25.3%), and alcohols (14.5%). Results suggest that PMOLs can serve as a natural additive for functional foods.
本研究旨在评估西西里岛种植的[植物名称]叶片的微生物质量和功能特性,以探索其在功能性食品生产中的潜在用途。采用包括基于无人机的多光谱遥感在内的精准农业技术来确定[植物名称]的最佳收获时间。收获后,叶片使用基于无线传感器网络的智能太阳能干燥系统进行干燥,并使用实验室离心研磨机研磨,以生产叶片粉末(PMOLs)。平板计数显示PMOLs中没有不需要的微生物菌落。MiSeq Illumina分析表明,在PMOLs中发现的细菌类群中,α-变形菌纲占主导地位(相对丰度为83.20%)。PMOLs的水醇提取物在溶液分析中表现出很强的氧化还原活性,并在基于细胞的脂质过氧化模型中提供抗氧化保护(CAA:5.42μg/mL)。此外,它对三种人类肿瘤上皮细胞系(HepG2、Caco-2和MCF-7)表现出抗增殖活性,GI值范围为121.03至237.75μg/mL。PMOLs的芳香成分包括七个植物化学基团:醇类、醛类、酮类、酯类、酸类、萜类和烃类。最具代表性的化合物是萜类(27.5%)、酮类(25.3%)和醇类(14.5%)。结果表明,PMOLs可作为功能性食品的天然添加剂。
