Therapeutic potential of crude extracts of Litchi chinensis seeds powder

The purpose of the current study is to examine L. chinensis seed powder’s potential as a candidate for health promotion. Two distinct solvents viz. aqueous methanol and aqueous acetone were used to extract the sample. The nutritional parameters of the samples, such as their antioxidant capacity and the amount of phenolics, flavonoids, and flavonols, were examined. Thermal desorption coupled with GC/MSD allowed for the identification of oleo/aromatic compounds. Polyphenols were quantified using LCMS/MS. The findings indicated that the activities of the aqueous methanol extract were slightly superior. In 100 mg of methanol extract, the amounts of phenolic, flavonoid, and flavonol were found to be 72.99 mg (gallic acid), 27.1 mg (CE), and 11.45 mg (RE), respectively. The DPPH IC50 value for the antioxidant activity of methanol extract was found to be 0.049 mg ml^− 1. Ascorbic acid, p-coumaric acid, gallic acid, ellagic acid, quercetin, and rutin were detected by LC-MS/MS analysis. According to the results of the GC-MS analysis, seed powder has good oleo/aromatic compounds and can be applied to a variety of cosmetic applications. The aforementioned findings demonstrate the high nutritional and therapeutic value of L. chinensis seed powder.
