Banana blossom sheaths come in two varieties: the light-yellow inner (inner) and the pink-red outer (outer). Chemical analyses of both outer and inner sheaths, including moisture, protein, lipid, ash, total carbohydrate and crude fiber, revealed ranges of 90.83–93.41%, 1.22–1.71%, 0.29–0.34%, 0.97–1.01%, 3.62–6.60% and 0.96–2.14%, respectively. The healthy pasteurized banana blossom juices (HPBJ) derived from both sources were rich in phenolic compounds (254±0.12 and 124±0.38 mg GAE/100 mL), total anthocyanin contents (0.19±0.23 and 15.0 ±0.35 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent (CGE)/100 mL) and exhibited antioxidant properties using the DPPH method (2,280.49±0.45 and 2,156.53±0.78 μmol of Trolox equivalents/100 mL), respectively. Microbial analysis of HPBJ, including total plate counts (TPC), yeast and mold, <em>Escherichia coli</em>, Coliform, <em>Salmonella</em> spp., <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>, <em>Bacillus cereus</em>, and <em>Clostridium perfringens</em>, indicated levels within acceptable limits, confirming their safety for consumption.</p> 2024-06-28T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Food Health and Bioenvironmental Science https://li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/sdust/article/view/262806 Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition Activity of Ethanolic Extract of Sesbania javanica Miq. Flowers 2024-05-08T14:25:27+07:00 Yaiprae Chatree yaiprae@vru.ac.th Shisanupong Anukanon shisanupong.anu@mfu.ac.th Saimai Chatree saimai.cha@cra.ac.th Komgrit Saeng-ngoen Komgrit@vru.ac.th <p>Cholinergic signaling impairment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with a low level of acetylcholine as a result of acetylcholinesterase hydrolysis. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are found in numerous plants and phytoconstituents. This study aims to investigate the effect of <em>Sesbania javanica</em> Miq. flower extracts on anti-acetylcholinesterase activity and identify its potential compounds. The ethanolic extracts of <em>Sesbania javanica</em> Miq. flowers showed a relatively high percentage of acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity in a dose-dependent manner (IC<sub>50</sub> = 18.56±1.67 mg/mL). However, physostigmine (reference standard) shows the highest potency of acetylcholinesterase inhibition compared to the extracts, IC<sub>50</sub> &lt; 0.005 mg/mL. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based analysis revealed that the ethanolic extract of the flower contained major phytochemicals including thiophene and 1-(5-Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl)ethylamine, which are predicted to penetrate across the blood-brain barrier. Thiophene was found to be the most abundant compound of the extract. The molecular docking demonstrated that the active phytochemical 1-(5-Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl)ethylamine forms hydrogen bonds with the active site of acetylcholinesterase, exhibiting the same orientation as physostigmine, thereby conferring anti-cholinesterase activity. Our findings suggest that the flower extract of <em>Sesbania javanica</em> Miq. (Fabaceae) may provide new phytochemicals for potential drug discovery as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase activity.</p> 2024-06-28T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Food Health and Bioenvironmental Science
