“…Polyphenol compounds in cinnamon play a role in increasing the synthesis of endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase that play a role in preventing, inhibiting, breaking and stopping the chain of free radical reactions (Qotbi, 2016;Simsek et al, 2013;Mehdipour et al, 2013). Francis and Thomas (2016); Roy et al (2013) indicated that gotu kola, contains various active compounds, including asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassoside, madecassic acid, and brahmoside. Falasifah et al (2018) stated that gotu kola plants are known to have essential oils, such as citronella, linalool, neral, menthol, and linalyl acetate.…”

Cholesterol in quail meat is one of the factors causing consumers to control consumption of quail meat. On the other hand, the antioxidant content in quail meat could attracts the consumers. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp.) bark and gotu kola (Centella asiatica) leaves are medicinal plants that contain many polyphenol compounds. The objective of this study was to obtain the most optimum formula made from cinnamon and gotu kola as a feed supplement to produce the quail meat which has low cholesterol but rich in antioxidants. This study used a completely randomized design which consisting of six groups with three replications. The six groups included one control (P0), 5 treatments consisted of 5% cinnamon (P1), 5% gotu kola (P2), combination of cinnamon and gotu kola powder with ratio 5%:5% (P3), 5%:10% (P4) and 10%:5% (P5). The results showed that food supplements made from cinnamon bark and gotu kola leaves could increase the body weight, antioxidant levels, and reduce cholesterol levels in quail meat. Cinnamon as feed supplement with a concentration of 5% or a combination of cinnamon and gotu kola with a ratio of 5%: 10% provided the best effect on antioxidants and cholesterol level in meat. The use of cinnamon and gotu kola supplementation to produce high antioxidant and low cholesterol of quail met have not studied yet. The result of the study would be beneficial for developing the healthy, safe and good quality of quail meat.

“…The GC-MS spectra revealed forty components, accounting for 99.12% of the oil content. The GC-MS analysis of essential oil also reported p-cymene (44%) as a major constituent [87]. The GC-MS of essential oil chiefly contains sesquiterpenes (68.80%), comprising α-humulene (21.06%), β-caryophyllene (19.08%), bicyclogermacrene (11.22%), germacrene B (6.29%) and germacrene D (4.01%) [88].…”

Centella asiatica is well known for its miraculous therapeutic properties in various systems of traditional medicine across the world. However, significant variation in its pharmacological activities has been reported due to the unavailability of quality raw material and non-standardized formulations. A number of research papers have been published on the collection of C. asiatica plants from different regions for the identification of a suitable agroclimate with elite germplasms. Efforts have been made to standardize production and post-harvest practices for the availability of quality raw material with a high centelloside content. The ecological niche modeling approach revealed that the Indian subcontinent has high climatic suitability for the production of C. asiatica, and genotypes with a high content of centelloside were predominantly found in the Western Ghats, North East, Eastern Himalaya and Western Himalaya in India. Open cultivation of C. asiatica is more suitable in these agroclimatic zones in India. Cultivation under shade is also suitable in the plains of Central India. Hydroponic and tissue culture of C. asiatica has also been successfully established for the enhanced production of centelloside using supplements and elicitors such as sucrose, auxins, cytokinins, kinetin, methyl jasmonate, etc. Freeze drying has been identified as the most efficient post-harvest method for the high pharmacological activities of C. asiatica extracts.

“…Centelloid was term given for different constituents of secondary metabolites produced by plant which mainly comprised of pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins [9]. P-cymene-(44%) along with other volatile compounds was found to be in a prominent amount in the essential oil of C. asiatica on analysis with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) [10]. Centellin, asiatic, and centellicin were isolated from the aerial part of the plant, and further, their structures had been determined using 2D nuclear magnetic resonance technique [11].…”

Plant-based drug discovery has drawn the attention of researchers, especially the one used as traditional medicines. Centella asiatica is traditional Ayurveda medicine widely used in India and across Asia for treating a variety of diseases. The aerial parts and roots are used for medicinal purpose, and its chemical constituents have wide therapeutic applications in areas of antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and wound healing activities. Many of its uses have been proven scientifically, and bioactive ingredients have been validated. In this review, we have done a critical evaluation of available literature looking for the pharmacological importance of C. asiatica. Further studies will be helpful to discover more bioactive compounds their exact mode of actions.
