Maximization of Essential Oil Antioxidant Capacity via Star Anise Hydrodistillation

Multistage Extraction of Star Anise and Black Pepper Derivatives for Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Anticancer Activity

“…Traditional spices and food flavoring agents, such as star anise and black pepper, date back several thousand years (Liu Q. et al, 2020;Pei et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2021). They played important roles in clinical therapy and the food industry due to their beneficial medical use (Moghaddasi et al, 2018;Kamoun et al, 2019;Li H. et al, 2019), strong pharmacological activity (Abukawsar et al, 2018;Yu et al, 2020), antioxidant potential (Liu et al, 2008), and low cost (Destro et al, 2019;Orrillo et al, 2019;Ding et al, 2020).…”

GC-MS metabolites profiling of anethole-rich oils by different extraction techniques: antioxidant, cytotoxicity and in-silico enzymes inhibitory insights

“…In a previous study by Destro et al., the antioxidant activity of star anise oil extracted by hydrodistillation using the Clevenger apparatus recorded better results than trans -anethole and D-limonene major constituents individually proving the synergistic action of star anise oil all constituents using DPPH (23.5 ± 0.3 mmol TE/g EO) and ABTS (25.7 ± 0.8 mmol TE/g EO) assays 44 . In a previous work by Aly et al.…”

Ameliorative effects of vitamins-loaded flavoured nanophytosomes fortified with star anise volatile oil against CsA-Induced liver and kidney injury in rats: Application in functional ice cream

“…[ 45 ] , who reported that the method is based on the reduction of DPPH radicals and formation of non-radical form (DPPH-H), and that star anise oil is able to perform this reaction and is considered as radical scavenger and hence antioxidant. Star anise oil showed the strongest scavenging power that was even higher than BHA and BHT [ 45 , 46 ] .…”
