    Extracción y microencapsulación de antocianinas a partir de col morada (Brassica oleracea L.)
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería Bioquímica, 2019-07) Ramos Lalaleo, Eliana Catalina; López Hernández, Orestes Darío
    The extraction of anthocyanins was carried out from purple cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) using ethanol and hydrochloric acid as a solvent in relation to 85:15. Three levels of extraction time (60, 90, 120 min) and three levels of mass ratio of plant material - volume of solvent (1:20, 1:25 and 1:30) were studied as variables. Initially, it was determined that the best extraction conditions were: 120 minutes, with a 1:20 ratio, at a constant temperature of 70 ° C. Next, the anthocyanin concentrate was microencapsulated by spray drying, using maltodextrin DE 10 as a polymer which caused the microencapsulation to have great water solubility. FTIR spectroscopy analyzes showed that the anthocyanins were successfully microencapsulated, since the functional groups of the metabolite are masked by the polymer. The microencapsulated anthocyanins obtained an encapsulation efficiency of 90.78%. Next, the antioxidant capacity was evaluated. On the other hand, it was evaluated in vivo through the cell survival of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which was exposed to oxidative stress, in order to evaluate its behavior when subjected to different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. It was demonstrated that the microorganism is able to recover from cellular oxidation thanks to the presence of microencapsulation of the anthocyanins of B. oleracea, at a concentration of 50 mg / ml, which could protect it, in turn assist in its recovery from damage caused by peroxide. It was possible to reach a maximum of 1,214 turbidity, equivalent to biomass in the liquid culture.

    The use of medicinal plants for its great availability and variety of active ingredients with pharmacological importance has been a source of research for scientific advances. The present study focused on obtaining an active anti-inflammatory ingredient from the ethanolic extracts of 8 medicinal plants: Cymbopogon citratus, Mentha sativa L, Cynara scolymus L, Zingiber officinale L, Ocimum basilicum L, Cinnamomum verum J and Camellia sinensis. The best conditions for the extraction process of the plant metabolites of the plants used were established from a factorial design 22, using two study variables, the solvent ethanol concentration (ETOH) and the extraction time, using the technology of spray drying the ethanolic extracts were microencapsulated. For the determination of the anti-inflammatory activity, it was subjected to in vitro tests by means of the method of membrane stabilization of human erythrocytes compared to the anti-inflammatory control used with aspirin. Identifying that the highest percentage of anti-inflammatory activity is possessed by microencapsulation from the mixture of the 8 medicinal plants with a value of 76, 96 percent. Using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, two phytochemical components were quantified that give the anti-inflammatory capacity to microencapsulation: total polyphenols 93.50 more less 1.78 mg AG / g microencapsulated and total flavonoids 54.80 more less 8.61 mg quercetin / microencapsulation g. This research showed a synergistic effect of the mixture of the 8 plants due to the potentiation of the activity of the active ingredients that give them the anti-inflammatory capacity (polyphenols and flavonoids).

    The tradicional use of Marco (Ambrosia arborescens) y Quishuar (Buddleja incana) for their medicinal properties has been the subject of research aimed at scientific advances. The watery, hydroalcoholic (50:50) and ethanolic extracts of Marco leaves were used in in vitro experimentation in order to determine antioxidant, antiinflammatory and cytotoxic biological activity. The concentration of antioxidant activity was determined using the chemiluminiscence method in which the best effective treatment was the hydroalcoholic extract (50:50) of leaves of Quishuar 180629,191 ±293,399 μg galic acid/g extract. The antiinflammatory activity was evaluated using the membrane stabilization method with human erythrocytes, in which the ethanolic extract of Marco leaves showed 88,57 percent of antiinflammatory capacity, in contrast to the antiinflammatory control using asprin, measured at 87,66 percent. The cytotoxic capacity was determined with a colorimetric MTT method 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide using MCF-7 cells. With the ethanolic extract, a cellular apoptosis was produced, obtaining an IC50 of 0.0043. This evidences that with a minimal quantity of the extract, lethal toxicity levels were reached in the cells. The results obtained confirm that the disolvent used in the extraction of secondary metabolites affects the biological activities of the plants. In addition, Marco and Quishuar, being plants native to the Sierra region, are exposed to extrinsic factors such as climate, temperature, wind and rainfall that affect the production of metabolites in plants.
