The evaluation of five bioactive compounds content and in vitro antioxidant of Caryophylli Flos extracts obtained by natural deep eutectic solvents

What if the key to unlocking nature's antioxidant power lies in a simple mixture of natural compounds? A new study reveals how Caryophylli Flos, the dried flower buds of clove, can be extracted using eco-friendly solvents to yield five bioactive compounds with promising antioxidant activity.

Nature has a way of hiding its treasures, and clove buds are no exception. Researchers have turned to Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) to gently coax out the bioactive compounds from Caryophylli Flos. These solvents, made from natural components like sugars and organic acids, offer a greener alternative to traditional extraction methods.

Key Points

• NADES extracts five bioactive compounds from clove buds.
• In vitro antioxidant activity confirmed in the extracts.
• Green extraction method yields promising natural antioxidants.
