Hagr, Tuhami Elzein published the artcilePhytochemical analysis, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of essential oil from Hibiscus sabdariffa (L) seeds, (Sudanese Karkadi), Name: Methyl docosanoate, the main research area is Hibiscus seed antibacterial antioxidant essential oil.
Chem. constituents, phytochem. screening of the essential oil from H. sabdariffa (L) Seeds, and evaluated its potential antibacterial and antioxidant activities, using Soxhlet method to extract the essential oil. Phytochem. screening showed that Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Carbohydrates, Saponins, Triterpens, Streols, Tannins and phenolic compounds are present in seeds of the H.Sabdariffa. Thirty eight components have been identified which classified in to four categories; 31 fatty acid ester derivatives, the majority of them are; Hexadecanoic acid, Me ester (16.94%), 9,12- Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z), Me ester (21.93%), 9,-Octadecadienoic acid (Z), Me ester (30.11%), Me stearate(7.39%), Cyclopropaneoctanoic acid (3.17 %), Dotriacontane(2.17 %), two phenolic derivatives; 1,3-Benzodioxole, 4methoxy-6-(2-propenyl) (0.01 %) and Apiol (0.04 %), two steroidal derivatives; 17-Androstannone, 3-(3, 4-dimethylphenyl) (1.81%) and Stigmasta-4,7,22-trien-3.beta.-ol (0.41%) and Beta.-Amyrin (3.82%), Alpha.-Amyrin (1.65 %) Urs-12-en-3-ol, acetate,(3.beta.) (1.17%). The DPPH assay, showed moderate antioxidant potential (50 ± 0.01 compared with standard 89 ± 0.01; the antibacterial showed high inhibitory effect against Bacillus subtilis (13mm). In conclusion, the study showed that the Oil of H. sabdariffa seed is a good source of antioxidants due to the presence of phenolic compounds, also is a potential source of natural antibacterial, and justify its uses in folkloric medicines.
