Red Algae

116
Red algae, also known as rhodophytes, are primarily found in marine environments, though some species inhabit freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. These organisms exist in both unicellular and multicellular forms, with some multicellular varieties reaching macroscopic sizes.As phototrophic organisms, red algae contain chlorophyll a; however, their chloroplasts lack chlorophyll b. Instead, they possess phycobiliproteins, which serve as major light-harvesting pigments, similar to those found in...

Area of Science:

  • Phytochemistry
  • Cosmetic Science
  • Natural Product Extraction

Background:

  • Pink pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) possesses valuable biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antioxidant activities.
  • These properties suggest significant commercial potential for pink pepper in various industries.
  • Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction is an efficient method for obtaining bioactive compounds from plant materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the antioxidant activity of pink pepper extract obtained via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction.
  • To determine the optimal extraction parameters (pressure and temperature) for maximizing antioxidant potential.
  • To evaluate the antioxidant efficacy and stability of a topical formulation containing the optimized pink pepper extract.

Main Methods:

  • Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction was employed to obtain pink pepper extracts, varying pressure (100-300 bar) and temperature (40-60°C).
  • Antioxidant activity was assessed using the α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay.
  • The optimized extract was incorporated into an oil-in-water emulsion (2% m/m), and its properties and stability were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • Extracts produced at 50-60°C exhibited high DPPH radical scavenging activity (80.16-91.27%), irrespective of extraction pressure.
  • Optimized extraction conditions (200 bar, 50°C) yielded an extract with significant antioxidant capacity.
  • The resulting topical formulation displayed desirable physical characteristics (creamy texture, color, odor, pH) and maintained 35.38% DPPH inhibition after storage.

Conclusions:

  • Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction effectively isolates pink pepper compounds with potent antioxidant activity.
  • Temperature is a critical factor in maximizing the antioxidant efficacy of pink pepper extracts.
  • The developed topical formulation is stable and retains significant antioxidant properties, highlighting its commercial viability.
