Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a widespread male disease, affecting more than 50 % of men over the age 60 years. Inhibition enzyme 5α-reductase common treatment strategy for this condition. Such potential can be found in willow flowers (Epilobium spp.), which are known folk medicine treating prostate ailments, mainly benign prostatitis, hypertrophy and prostatitis. Smallflower hairy willowherb (E. parviflorum), rare, most recommended BPH. The aim. aim study was to investigate qualitative quantitative content polyphenols five Epilobium species adenocaulon Hausskn., E. hirsutum L., montanum parviflorum Schreb. palustre L.) growing Estonia, find promising terms chemical composition alleviate Materials Methods. analyses herbs spp. were performed using HPLC/MS. All collected from pond's shore Pilkuse village (Otepää municipality, Valga county, Estonia) July 2008. Research results.

Non-thermal plasma as a pretreatment for extraction of herbal tea by-products

Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 27(2), P. 47 - 52

Traditional extraction methods involve the use of polar solvents and/or high temperatures. Both are often energy or timeconsuming and require additional purification steps. This compromises quality extracts obtained. Non-thermal plasma pretreatment for is a promising technique that could increase sustainability process while following principles hurdle technology. In this work, we investigated effects treatment on aqueous antioxidant compounds from herbal tea by-products. Stinging nettle, hoary willowherb, St. John's Wort were treated with at different time intervals. The obtained analyzed their capacity total phenolic content. Their potential as growth media Ligilactobacillus sp. was also investigated. Hoary willowherb showed highest content activity. While slightly decreased these extracts, it improved microbial growth. contrast to stinging nettle extracts' not affected by treatment. These better bacterial When added 25% v/v Mrs broth, achieved rate similar pure broth (~10⁹ CFU/ml), demonstrating biomass production food feed supplementation.
