Abstract

The function components of Portulaca oleracea L. are abundant. This study compared the content of functional components, antioxidant activity, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity in different solvent extracts of Portulaca oleracea L, including methanol extracts and aqueous extracts. The ethyl acetate extract from the aqueous extract of Portulaca oleracea L. demonstrated the highest content of total phenols, total flavonoids, total saponins, chlorogenic acid, p-hydroxycinnamic acid, and ferulic acid, along with the best antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was observed between the content of functional components and in vitro activities (p < 0.05). The findings indicated that the ethyl acetate extract from the aqueous extract of Portulaca oleracea L. was rich in functional components and exhibited the most potent biological activities, providing a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of this plant.

期刊介绍： The South African Journal of Botany publishes original papers that deal with the classification, biodiversity, morphology, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, biotechnology, ethnobotany and other botanically related aspects of species that are of importance to southern Africa. Manuscripts dealing with significant new findings on other species of the world and general botanical principles will also be considered and are encouraged.
