Stanovení antimikrobiální a antioxidační aktivity vybraných bylinných extraktů / Determination of antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of selected herbal extracts

Tetradenia spp. is herb naturally growing in Africa and is part of family called Lamiaceae. The herb is used in traditional medicine to cure malaria, angina or as treatment for tropical skin diseases. Maceration was chosen from number of extraction methods, to obtain bioactive compounds from this plant. Optimization was performed with aim to retrieve as much of bioactive compounds as possible. Optimal conditions chosen were: temperature 60 °C, extraction time 40 minutes, solvent 40% ethanol and solid-solvent ratio 1:5. In total 63 aromatic active compounds were found in optimal extract. Terpenes were the most abundant (88,60 %), from them oxygenated monoterpenes (55,65 %) and monoterpenes (29,52 %). Compounds with highest percentage quantity were camphor (51,76 %), cis--ocimene (8,17 %), 3-octyl acetate (7,71 %), trans--ocimene (6,76 %), -terpinene (4,93 %), o-cymene (3,81 %), terpinolene (1,33 %), limonene (1,33 %), camphene (1,19 %) and borneol (1,20 %). Further, total phenolic content was 0,31 ± 0,02 mgGAEml-1, which equals 1,52 ± 0,11 mgGAEg-1 of plant. Antioxidant activity was 417,56 ± 32,84 gTEACml-1 and percentage of radical scavenging activity ABTS•+ was 88,99 ± 7,00 %. Finally antimicrobial activity was determined against bacteria Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and yeast Candida glabrata. Against E. coli and C. glabrata there was no inhibition exhibited. Against B. cereus there was seen mild inhibition activity. The results confirm that Tetradenia spp. contain a number of interesting aroma active compounds, which shows antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The herb has a good potential as natural source of nutritious and sensory active compounds to be used into various foods.
