Abstract

Background: Currently, the incidence of diabetes and dyslipidemia in our country is increasing, leading to an increased demand for pharmaceutical treatments. Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L. Amaryllidaceae) contains many flavonoid compounds that have many important pharmacological effects, notably the ability to remove free radicals and its antioxidant activity, which have potential in supporting the treatment of diabetes and dyslipidemia. However, in Viet Nam there are still few studies on investigating the extraction condition of shallot for high flavanoid content. Based on these reasons above, our team conducted an investigation on the extraction process and quantification of flavanoid in shallot. Objectives: To develop and validate the quantitative process of shallot extract using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method and investigate the optimal conditions of shallot extraction. Materials and methods: Shallots harvested in Vinh Chau town, Soc Trang province. Quantify flavanoid using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method based on the color reaction with AlCl3 reagent, validate the quantitative method according to ICH, AOAC guidelines and investigate the extraction conditions including ethanol concentration, medicinal herbs/solvent ratio, extraction time and temperature affecting the flavanoid content in shallot extract. Results: The process achieves specificity, precision, accuracy, regression line y= 0.0610x + 0.2864, R2 = 0.9981; 80% ethanol concentration, medical herbs/solvent ratio (1:10), extraction time (18 hours), room temperature. Conclusion: Developed and validated the quantitative process to meet the requirements according regulation and determined the optimal conditions for the optimal quercetin content of 8,34 mg QE/ g extract.
