Marigold extracted with Ethanol is distinctly different
Marigold flower has antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and hepatoprotective activity. Compounds such as flavonoids, carotenoids, saponins, tannins, xanthophylls, phenols, and zeaxanthin are present. Flavonoids function to reduce anion superoxide to prevent a decrease in the activity of the Superoxide Dismutase enzyme. Carotenoids in marigold flowers reduce cholesterol levels by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase activity.
Marigold petals are the current commercial source for lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin are in-demand carotenoids due to their significant role in human health.?
Ethanolic extracts were also the most powerful antioxidants and radical scavengers.
Lutein is the most important source of flower petals of Marigolds, where it is chemically bound fatty acids such as lauric, mystic, and palmitic acids. It has excellent antioxidant properties in the nutritional, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. It is reported in the literature that, the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and age-related eye diseases might be significantly reduced by diets rich in lutein.
According to one research, at dosages of 200 and 400 mg/kg BW, ethanol extract from marigold flowers dramatically lowered total cholesterol, LDL, MDA, and ApoB levels.
For marigold extraction, three solvents are often used: ethanol, ethyl-acetate, and n-hexane. Among these, ethanol was shown to be the most effective solvent for extracting both phenols and flavonoids from marigold flowers, while n-hexane was found to be the least effective. Ethanolic extracts were also the most powerful antioxidants and radical scavengers.
