Abstract
This study was designed to develop natural browning inhibitors. The anti-browning effects of distilled water (SBD) and 80% ethanol extracts (SBE) of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in apple slices were investigated by L and ${\Delta}E$ values. Both SBD and SBE were effective in reducing the browning of apple slices and were successively fractionated into chloroform ($CHCl_3$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and water ($H_2O$) fractions. These extracts were measured for total phenolic content, flavonoid content, anti-oxidative activity (through free radical scavenging activity and the FRAP assay), ferrous ion chelation, and the inhibition of PPO (polyphenol oxidase) activity. Overall, fractions of SBE were better than fractions of SBD in all measurements. The highest total phenolic and flavonoid content were measured in the EtOAc and $CHCl_3$ fractions of SBE. EtOAc and $CHCl_3$ fractions also exhibited the highest anti-oxidative activities (in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging and the FRAP assay). Unusually, the highest ferrous ion chelating capacity was found in the $H_2O$ fraction of SBD, but the other fractions showed more than triple the ascorbic acid already in use. Also, $CHCl_3$ fractions showed a stronger inhibition of PPO activity than ascorbic acid. All of these results suggest that EtOAc and $CHCl_3$ fractions from Scutellaria baicalensis can be used as natural anti-browning agents.
