BACKGROUND: This study investigates the antibacterial potential of pyrolysis-derived extracts from rosehip fruit (RF), orange peel (OP), corn silk (CS), spurge root (ER) and mullein leaf (ML) against antibiotic-resistant pathogens using two different culture media. Bioactive compounds were obtained via a PID-controlled pyrolysis system, and antibacterial activity was evaluated to clarify both extract efficacy and medium-dependent effects on bacterial growth and diffusion. RESULTS: Antibacterial activities were assessed using the agar well diffusion method, with ampicillin as a positive control, against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. A key novelty of this work is the comparative evaluation of extract performance on nutrient agar (NA) and Müller–Hinton agar (MHA). Among all samples, the ML extract exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity across all tested strains, producing inhibition zones of 18.85 mm against E. coli and 17.15 mm against E. faecalis on NA, compared with 13.05 mm and 13.60 mm on MHA, respectively. CS and ER extracts showed moderate antibacterial effects, with consistently higher inhibition zones on NA than on MHA. Ampicillin generated substantially larger inhibition zones on NA (33.35 mm for E. coli and 34.45 mm for P. aeruginosa) compared with MHA (13.80 and 27.70 mm, respectively), confirming the strong influence of culture medium composition on measurable antibacterial activity. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that both plant extracts and ampicillin exhibit higher antibacterial activity on NA than on MHA. The pronounced efficacy of the ML extract highlights pyrolysis-derived plant fractions as promising natural antimicrobials and emphasizes the critical importance of culture medium selection.

Broccoli juice is highly nutritious, containing phenolic compounds, chlorophyll derivatives, antioxidants, and other biologically active phytochemicals; however, conventional thermal processing may reduce their stability and bioaccessibility. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of thermosonication on the following properties of broccoli juice: bioactivity, antioxidant capacity, phenolic profile and in vitro bioaccessibility. Thermosonication conditions were optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) integrated with the Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms. Broccoli juice samples were subjected to conventional pasteurization and thermosonication under different processing conditions, and total chlorophyll, ascorbic acid (AA), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total phenolic content (TPC), and individual phenolic compounds were evaluated. Digestive stability and post-digestion bioaccessibility were also assessed using a standardized in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model. The developed quadratic models exhibited high statistical significance for TPC and FRAP responses (p < 0.001), with coefficients of determination (R2) of 0.9949 and 0.9853, respectively. The optimum thermosonication conditions were identified as 40 degrees C, 6.75 min, and 64.04% amplitude, under which experimentally validated FRAP and TPC values reached 12.86 mmol TE/L and 149.77 mg GAE/100 ml, respectively. HPLC-DAD analysis showed that gallic acid and naringin were the pre-dominant phenolic compounds, and that thermosonication promoted greater phenolic retention than conventional pasteurization. In vitro digestion results demonstrated that thermosonicated broccoli juice maintained significantly higher levels of TPC, FRAP, chlorophyll, and AA throughout gastrointestinal digestion, with higher TPC recovery (30.45%) than pasteurized samples (26.22%), indicating improved post-digestion bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds. Similar improvements were observed for antioxidant capacity and chlorophyll retention. Furthermore, PSO and GWO optimization results showed strong agreement with RSM predictions, confirming the robustness of the proposed optimization strategy. Overall, thermosonication was shown to effectively and sustainably enhance the functional quality, antioxidant properties, phenolic stability, and digestive bioaccessibility of broccoli juice.

Acet, Tuba; Ozcan, Kadriye; Zengin, Gokhan
In the present study, we aimed to search and compare the biological activities of the ethanol (EtOH), methanol (MeOH), and ethylacetate (EtOAc) solvent extracts of the flower, stem, and root parts of two Helichrysum plants (H. chionophilum (Hc) and H. plicatum subsp. plicatum (Hp)). The antioxidant properties were determined by using (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) (DPPH) and ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays. The enzyme inhibitory effects of the extracts were investigated on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), α-glucosidase, and α-amylase. Palmitic acid (C 16:0) was also determined as major fatty acids in the tested oils (31.21%–67.68%). In both plants, it was found that the EtOAc extracts of the flowers had a strong antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effect. In conclusion, the results obtained in the present study showed that H. chionophilum and H. plicatum can be seen as a promising source for the natural bioactive compounds that can be used in therapeutic applications. Practical applications: The members of the genus Helichrysum have been widely taken for therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine as well as food. In this context, we investigated the chemical characterization and biological activities of two Helichrysum species extracts (H. chionophilum and H. plicatum subsp. plicatum). Antioxidant capacity, enzyme inhibition and anti-microbial effects were tested for biological activities. Chemical characterization was identified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (for phenolic) and gas chromatography-flame ioanization detector (GC-FID) (for fatty acids). Based on our findings, the species may be valuable for designing novel food products.
