Exploring the Bioactive and Thermal Properties of Buckthorn Seed Oil
A Comprehensive Analysis
Keywords:
Buckthorn seed oil, GC/MS analysis, Antioxidant activity, Thermal propertiesAbstract
This study provides a detailed analysis of Buckthorn seed oil, examining its chemical composition, antioxidant properties, antimicrobial activity, and thermal stability before and after heating. GC/MS analysis identified significant components, including Tetracosane, 11-decyl- and Octadecane, 3-ethyl-5-(2-ethylbutyl)-, while new compounds such as Nonacosane and Pentacosane, 13-undecyl- emerged post-heating. The oil exhibited moderate antioxidant activity, with a radical scavenging activity (RSA) of 62%, which was lower than the synthetic standard, Propyl Gallate. Antimicrobial testing showed limited efficacy, with slight sensitivity against Staphylococcus aureus, and no observed activity against Escherichia coli or Candida albicans. DSC analysis indicated a melting point of 40°C and thermal stability up to 150°C, supporting its potential for industrial applications in cosmetics and food processing. Despite its favorable thermal stability and chemical profile, the oil's relatively low bioactivity suggests the need for further enhancement to increase its potential utility in broader applications.
