Abstract

Xao tam phan (XTP) is a valuable medicinal plant native to Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam. This plant is rich in bioactive compounds, primarily phenolics and saponins, which offers various therapeutic properties. A recent study optimized the extraction of these bioactive compounds from XTP stems using an enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE). Response surface methodology determined optimal enzyme extraction conditions at 0.8% v/w enzyme concentration, 45°C, and 105 min. Combining ultrasound with enzyme treatment (U-EAE) proved most effective, increased total phenolic content (TPC) and total saponin content (TSC) by 1.23 and 3.27 times, respectively, compared to untreated samples. The U-EAE outperformed other methods (E-UAE, UES-AE, UAE, EAE) in extracting bioactive compounds.

Keywords: Enzyme, Paramignya trimera, Total phenolics, Total saponins, Xao tam phan
