Abstract

Bu çalışma kapsamında Hottentot-fig olarak bilinen Carpobrotus edulis (L.) N.E.Br bitki türünün incelenmesi üzerine Pereira ve arkadaşları tarafından yapılan literatür çalışması incelenmektedir. Bu bitki istilacı özelliği ile kıyı bölgelerinde biyolojik çeşitlilik adına büyük bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Pereira ve arkadaşları bu kriz durumunu fırsata çevirmek adına Hottentot-fig bitkisinin fitoterapötik potansiyellerini ortaya koymayı hedeflemişlerdir. Bitkinin hasat zamanı ve yerine göre değişen biyoaktif bileşenleri ve antioksidan, antiinflamatuar özellikleri değerlendirilerek bu bitkinin gıda ve nutrasötik endüstrilerde kullanılabilirliği ortaya konulmuştur. Pereira ve arkadaşları tarafından yapılan bu değerli çalışmanın metodoloji ve sonuçlarında optimum parametreleri belirlemek adına diğer literatür çalışmaları ile ekstraksiyon, toplam fenolik içerik HPLC-DAD gibi yöntemlerin kıyaslaması yapıldı. Hottentot-fig konulu çalışmanın sonuçları kıyaslanarak, çalışmanın eksik ve güçlü yanları belirlenmiştir. Bizim çalışmamız kapsamında, literatürde kullanılan ve bilinen yöntemlerin yanı sıra alternatif yöntemlerin de göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiği, bu yöntemlerin sonuçlarının incelenmesi gerektiği ve farklı metot stratejileri ile verimli sonuçlar elde edilebileceği belirtilmektedir.

Reviewing the Optimal Conditions for Efficiently Harnessing the Phytotherapeutic Potential of the Invasive Carpobrotus edulis (L.) N.E. Br Plant Threatening Plant Diversity

Abstract

Within the scope of this study, the study conducted by Pereira et al. on the examination of the plant species Carpobrotus edulis (L.) N.E.Br, known as Hottentot-fig, is examined. This plant poses a great threat to biodiversity in coastal areas with its invasive feature. Pereira and his colleagues aimed to reveal the phytotherapeutic potential of the Hottentot-fig plant to turn this crisis situation into an opportunity. By evaluating the bioactive components and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the plant, which vary depending on harvest time and location, the usability of this plant in the food and nutraceutical industries has been demonstrated. In the methodology and results of this valuable study conducted by Pereira et al., methods such as extraction and total phenolic content HPLC-DAD were compared with other literature studies in order to determine the optimum parameters. By comparing the results of the study on Hottentot-fig, the shortcomings and strengths of the study were determined. Within the scope of our study, it is stated that alternative methods should be taken into consideration in addition to the known methods used in the literature, the results of these methods should be examined, and efficient results can be obtained with different method strategies.
