[0034] Experimental Example 1. Antioxidant performance In this experimental example, the antioxidant performance of the Centella asiatica extract prepared in the foregoing Example 4 was verified.
[0035] In this experimental example, the verification method of the antioxidant capacity was referred to the determination method of the PPH free radical scavenging capacity and the hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging capacity in the prior art.
[0036] In the experimental example scheme as follows, the sample solution of the Centella asiatica extract was prepared into an aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 20 wt%.
[0037] (1) Determination of DPPH free radical scavenging capacity: The experimental group was added with 1 ml of sample solution + 1 ml of 0.2 mmol / L DPPH.
[0038] The control group was added with 1 ml of anhydrous ethanol + 1 ml of sample solution.
[0039] The blank group was added with 1 ml of anhydrous ethanol + 1 ml of 0.2 mmol / L DPPH.
[0040] The above groups were mixed and placed at room temperature (25℃) for 30 min. After completion, 300 ul of reaction solution was taken at 517 nm, the absorbance of the experimental group was determined and recorded as Ai, the absorbance of the control group was determined and recorded as Aj, and the blank group was recorded as A0. Each sample was measured in triplicate.
[0041] The DPPH scavenging rate (%) was calculated as [1-(Ai-Aj) / A0]×100%.
[0042] (2) Determination of hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging capacity: In this experimental example, the hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging test method was referred to the Fenton reaction method. In a test tube, 2 mL of ferrous sulfate solution (6 mmol / L), 2 mL of hydrogen peroxide solution (6 mmol / L) and 2 mL of sample were sequentially added and then placed for 10 min. Then, 2 mL of salicylic acid solution (6 mmol / L) was added, and the absorbance A0 was measured at 510 nm after being placed for 30 min. Distilled water was used to replace the sample solution and was treated in the same way to measure the absorbance Ax.
[0043] The hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging rate (%) was calculated as (1-A0 / Ax)×100%.
[0044] In this experimental example, the DPPH free radical scavenging rate and the hydroxyl radical (·OH) scavenging rate are shown in Table 1 below.
[0045]
[0046] It can be seen that the Centella asiatica active substance extracted by the application has good antioxidant performance.
[0047] 2. Pathogenic fungi inhibition performance The preserved pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum was inoculated into solid PDA medium and cultured in a 25℃ incubator for 2 days in the dark to obtain pathogenic fungi blocks.
[0048] In addition, PDA solid medium was prepared, and the active substance extracted in Example 4 was added in a heated liquid state to control the concentration to 5 mg / mL to obtain the experimental group PDA medium, which was poured into a culture dish and cooled. Under the same operation conditions and parameters, the PDA plate medium added with an equal volume of anhydrous ethanol was used as the control group.
[0049] The preserved pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum blocks were inoculated into the plates of the experimental group and the control group, with the mycelium facing upwards, and the size of the blocks in each plate was kept consistent, and each was set up in triplicate.
[0050] The inoculated plates were placed in a 25℃ incubator and cultured in the dark for 4 days, and the colony size was measured by the cross method. The inhibition rate was calculated according to the following formula.
[0051] Inhibition rate (%) = (control group colony diameter - treatment group colony diameter) / (control group colony diameter - fungus cake diameter) x 100%.
[0052] In the experimental example, the inhibition rate of the Centella asiatica extract on the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum reached 61.36%, indicating that it has a significant inhibitory effect on pathogenic fungi. Subsequent analysis of active ingredients and improvement of purity can further provide its ability to inhibit pathogenic fungi.
[0053] In summary, the active substance of the Centella asiatica extracted by the present application not only has the traditional antioxidant effect, but also exhibits an inhibitory effect on pathogenic fungi, especially on Fusarium oxysporum which can cause crop root rot. Subsequent extraction and purification of the Centella asiatica extract can enhance its inhibitory effect on pathogenic fungi, and also provide potential and technical support for the development of formulations for resisting crop root rot in the future.
