Background/Objectives: This study explores the development of electrospun nanofibers incorporating bioactive compounds from Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) root extract, focusing on optimizing extraction conditions and nanofiber composition to maximize biological activity application potential. Methods: Using Design Experiment (DoE) approach, optimal parameters were identified as 80% methanol, 70 °C, 60 min, yielding high levels phenolic antioxidant activity. Methanol concentration emerged critical factor influencing phytochemical properties. Electrospinning technology was employed produce using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) carriers, ensuring encapsulation, stabilization, an enhanced bioavailability active compounds. Results: Nanofibers demonstrated a surface-to-volume ratio, rapid dissolution, significant mucoadhesive properties, making them suitable for oral mucosal applications. The determined be 2.5 mL 25% PVP, extract-to-HPβCD ratio 1:0.6. Statistical modeling confirmed that electrospinning process did not compromise or anti-inflammatory properties with extract content being primary determinant Conclusions: These findings highlight potential integrating advanced techniques nanotechnology develop innovative delivery systems traditional herbal remedies. developed offer promising applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, functional foods, paving way scalable efficient utilization Ashwagandha bioactives.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Zingiberaceae familyasına ait olan Curcuma longa L., Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Alpinia officinarum Hance ve Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton droglarından hazırlanan metanol su ekstrelerinin antioksidan aktivite tayinleri ile toplam fenolik madde flavonoit miktar tayinlerini karşılaştırmalı olarak araştırmak hedeflenmiştir. Yöntem: Çalışmamız 12.01.2022-01.04.2022 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Droglar, bir firmadan 12.01.2022 tarihinde temin edilerek sulu metanollü ekstreleri hazırlanmış, miktarları Folin-Ciocalteu yöntemi ile, alüminyum klorür ise DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-pcyrylhydrazyl) yöntemiyle yapılmıştır. Bulgular: En yüksek aktiviteyi zerdeçal-MeOH ekstresi (6,04 µg/ml), en düşük kakule-su (53,24 µg/ml) göstermiştir. Toplam miktarı, havlıcan ekstresinde (400,53 µg gallik asit/mg) zerdeçal (301,72 bulunmuştur. miktarı (615,51 kersetin/mg) havlıcan-MeOH ekstrelerinde saptanmıştır. Sonuç: sonucunda içeriğine sahip olduğu görülmüş buna bağlı da göstermişlerdir. Flavonoit bakımından zengin ekstre olmuştur. Antioksidan deneyinde elde edilen sonuçlar, ekstrelerin flavonoid içerikleriyle pozitif korelasyon Anahtar kelimeler:
