“…It was observed that the crude pod extract of C. pulcherrima contained high amount of total phenol and avonoids (Table 1). The results obtained in this study are in accordance with the ndings of other researchers who have reported high phenolic and avonoid content in the pods of C. pulcherrima [23][24]. The antioxidant property of polyphenolic compounds has been reported [25][26].…”

Various diseases associated with oxidative stress have necessitated the need to investigate plants for antioxidant agents. This study aims to investigate the antioxidant potential of the extract and fractions of C. pulcherrima and estimate the quantum chemical properties of polyphenolic compounds isolated from its most active antioxidant fraction. Methanolic extract and partition fractions of the pods of the plant were assayed for their antioxidant activity using four models: 1,1-diphenyl-2-dipicrylhydrazyl radical scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power, total antioxidant capacity and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extract and fractions were also investigated. Furthermore, the quantum chemical properties of two polyphenolic compounds were calculated to predict the antioxidant potential. The extract exhibited good antioxidant activity with IC50 = 45.63 µg/ml comparable to ascorbic acid of IC50 = 37.94 µg/ml, high reducing power with value at 376.74 ± 6.78, total antioxidant capacity obtained at ascorbic acid equivalence of 383 ± 8.16 mgAAE/g and potent hydroxyl radical scavenging activity with value at 580.97 µg/ml with ascorbic acid at 30.7 µg/ml. The total phenol and flavonoid contents values at 540.53 ± 3.71 and 347.87 ± 7.13 respectively. Furthermore, the results obtained from the quantum chemical calculations reveals polyphenolic compounds; 5(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenol and 3(4-methanetriiol-2,6-dihydroxyphenoxy)-3’, 4’, 5’, 5, 7-pentahydroxyflavonol as promising antioxidant agents. The study concluded that C. pulcherrima pods have good antioxidant activity. Also, the polyphenolic compounds are among the chemical constituents responsible for the antioxidant activity obtained for the extract and ethyl acetate fraction.

“…Caesalpinia pulcherrima is a legume with pod-like fruit, and its seeds are a good source of polysaccharides such as galactomannan, with several applications in the food industry such as hydrocolloids, as a texturizer and fiber source (Buriti et al, 2014;Chakraborthy & Badujar, 2009;Passos et al, 2016).…”

Edible films and coatings have been proposed for food preservation. The coalho cheeses coated with galactomannan from Caesalpinia pulcherrima and Cymbopogon citratus essential oil (EO) were evaluated. Thus, the microbiological, physical–chemical, and weight loss aspects in the coated cheeses were analyzed during 20 days of storage. The treatment with 1.0% galactomannan and 0.2% EO obtained better stability; therefore, it was stored for 30 days at 4 ± 1°C. The extraction yield of galactomannan from C. pulcherrima was 25.4%. In EO, the main found compounds are α‐citral (41.49%), β‐citral (30.63%), and β‐mycrene (16.66%). In the analysis of cheese stability, the values for weight loss as a function of storage time varied from 2.52% to 25.62%. The moisture, pH and water activity, there was a statistical difference only for moisture. Therefore, edible coverage provided microbial reduction, physical–chemical stability, and sensory characteristics within the acceptance zone, being considered viable for the food industry. Practical applications The biopolymers extracted from the endosperm of the Caesalpinia pulcherrima seed, associated with the essential oil of Cymbopogon citratus, can be used as edible or biodegradable coatings in various food products. One of these products is rennet cheese, as it has an excellent nutritional composition and is conducive to the development of microorganisms, thus having a reduced shelf life. The use of coatings based on galactomannans and essential oil would make it possible to reduce the microbiological, physical, and sensory changes in these products, as well as the environmental impacts caused by non‐biodegradable packaging, being an alternative for replacing synthetic materials.
