Abstract
In this study, in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the E. spectabilis Bieb., which is consumed as a vegetable among people, was investigated and Kluyveromyces lactis ’s antioxidant activies in anaerobic cultural environment is researched. This purpose; 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, flavonoid, resveratrol, sugar contents, lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels, fatty acid level, lipophilic vitamin values, protein and glutathione amounts were measured. In the FeCl group in which FeCl 2 + H 2 O 2 is applied, when compared with LPO level control group (K), it was observed that it increase in high amount (p<0.05). LPO level decreases in certain proportions in treatment groups. It is suggested that the lowering effect of the LPO of E. spectabilis extracts are arise from phytochemical like flavonoids that it includes. As a result of the antibacterial activity studies, it was observed that E. spectabilis have different proportional antimicrobial activities against E. coli, S. aureus, Epidermophyton spp. and C. albicans .
Highlights
Throughout history, a number of plants are discovered by people and they have transferred their experiences, while they using these plants on daily life, generations to generations.Like many other plants in Anatolia, E. spectabilis which is a member of Liliaceae family, is consumed as a vegetable and used in the treatment of various diseases by individuals
Flavonoid and resveratrol contents of the E. spectabilis According to the results of flavonoid and resveratrol analysis rutin, morin, quarcetin and resveratrol were found in E. spectabilis
Myricetin, kaempferol, catechin, naringin and naringenin were not found in E. spectabilis used in the study (Table 1)
Summary
Like many other plants in Anatolia, E. spectabilis which is a member of Liliaceae family, is consumed as a vegetable and used in the treatment of various diseases by individuals. The leaves of this plant (which is named as “Çiriş, Gullik” between individuals) is used against eczema, fungal infections and. A great interest has occurred for the usage instead of synthetical oxidant and protectors, especially obtaining antioxidant and antimicrobial materials from natural materials. Recent studies show that plant materials include many phytochemical compounds that have strong antioxidant and antimicrobial materials (Yilmaz et al 2010, Erden et al 2013)
