| Summary: | Hydrangea macrophylla plant, native to Japan and Korea, has been attracting scientific attention due to its potential applications in both food science and health-related research. In this investigation, dry Hydrangea leaves were utilized as the source material. Subsequent to comminution and thermal treatment at 70 °C for an 18-hour duration, followed by a 30-minute ultrasonic bath extraction and a 5-minute centrifugation at 5000 rpm, hydrangenol was isolated through preparative HPLC. The investigation involved assessing the antioxidant capacity of hydrangenol, its impact on the activity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, and its ability to prevent enzymatic browning. Quantification of antioxidant capacity, determined through TEAC (Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity), showed values from 1.8 to 3.2 mmol TE/mmol. Likewise, the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values were in the range of 16.5-27.0 mmol TE/mmol. Total phenolics content (Folin-Ciocalteu test) yielded a range of 7.1-11.2 g GAE (Gallic Acid Equivalents) per 100 g. Examining α-amylase inhibition, hydrangenol demonstrated a 52% inhibition (IC50: 3.6 mg/mL), whereas acarbose (positive control) displayed a higher inhibition of 99 % (IC50: 0.51 mg/mL). Regarding α-glucosidase inhibition, hydrangenol exhibited a 51% inhibition (IC50: 0.97 mg/mL), while acarbose displayed a 46% inhibition (IC50: 2.1 mg/mL). Additionally, the activity of PPO was suppressed by 61% at hydrangenol concentrations of 1 mg/mL and 2 mg/mL, and by 46% at a concentration of 4 mg/mL. |
