Changes in flavonoid content and tyrosinase inhibitory activity in kenaf leaf extract after far-infrared treatment.
The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of ethanolic extract of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) leaf was evaluated before and after subjecting it to far-infrared (FIR) irradiation. The main component of the extract was analyzed as kaempferitrin (kaempferol-3,7-O-α-dirhamnoside). Prior to FIR irradiation, no inhibitory activity of the extract was detected in a tyrosinase assay. However, after FIR irradiation for 1h at 60°C, significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC(50)=3500 ppm) was observed in it. In HPLC analysis, derhamnosylation products (kaempferol, afzelin, and α-rhamnoisorobin) were detected. The inhibitory activity may be due to the existence of derhamnosylation products. This study demonstrated that FIR irradiation can be used as a convenient tool for deglycosylation of flavonoid glycoside.
