ملخص المقالة :
کدوحلوائی (Cucurbita moschata) یکی از سبزیجاتی است که دارای ارزش تغذیه ای بالا و ترکیبات زیست فعال است. هدف از این مطالعه، مقایسه تأثیر حلال های هیدرواتانولی و آبی روی پتانسیل عملکردی و بررسی ترکیبات زیست فعال عصاره کدوحلوائی می باشد. جهت بررسی های عملکردی عصاره ها، میزان آسکوربیک اسید، فنل و فلانوئید کل، ظرفیت آنتی اکسیدانی به دو روش DPPH و FRAP انجام گردید و همچنین ترکیبات شیمیایی موجود در عصاره ها توسط GC/MS شناسایی شدند. نتایج به‌دست‌آمده بالاترین میزان آسکوربیک اسید، فنل و فلاونوئید کل در عصاره هیدرواتانولی به ترتیب، با میزان mg/100g 29/13±66/98، mg GA/100g 004/0±663/1 و mg QU/100g 01/0±381/0 نشان داد. عصاره هیدرواتانولی نسبت به عصاره آبی در تمامی غلظت های تهیه‌شده، بالاترین توانائی مهار رادیکال DPPH را نشان داد؛ به‌طوری‌که عصاره هیدرواتانولی با غلظت mg/ml 800 با 866/61 درصد بازدارندگی، دارای بالاترین ویژگی مهارکنندگی بود. ترکیبات شیمیایی شناسایی‌شده در عصاره هیدرواتانولی و آبی با استفاده از GC/MS به ترتیب 16 و 7 ترکیب شیمیایی شناسایی شد که بالاترین میزان ترکیب در عصاره هیدرواتانولی برابر با 8767/34 درصد مربوط به ترکیب D- اریترو-پنتوز،2-دِاُکسی و در عصاره آبی مربوط به 5،2-دی کلرو فنل (2053/74 درصد) بود. نتایج این مطالعه، استفاده از حلال هیدرواتانولی را جهت استخراج بالاتر ترکیبات زیست فعال از کدوحلوائی (C. moschata) را پیشنهاد می دهد.
