Extraction, Characterization and Antioxidative Potential of a Bioactive Polymeric Material from the Cuttlebone of Sepia brevimana
Abstract:
This study aimed to extract and characterize a
functional polymeric chemical from Sepia brevimana cuttlebone and explore its
potential to inhibit oxidative processes. Cuttlebone waste is widely available
and frequently discarded, making it an excellent source for extracting
beneficial bioactive chemicals. The isolation process involved solvent extraction,
precipitation, and purification to produce a pure polymeric material. Several
analytical techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy
(FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were
employed to characterize the isolated polymeric material. The study revealed
that the isolated material possesses a unique polymeric structure with
functional groups associated with antioxidant activity. The bioactivity of the
substance was assessed by evaluating its efficiency in inhibiting oxidative
processes in a model system. The material demonstrated excellent antioxidant
activity by inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
scavenging free radicals. The presence of antioxidant moieties and the polymeric
nature of the structure contributed to this activity. In conclusion, a
bioactive polymeric material with strong antioxidant capabilities was
successfully extracted and characterized from Sepia brevimana cuttlebone. The
findings highlight the potential of cuttlebone waste as a rich source of
bioactive chemicals, offering a sustainable pathway for producing natural
antioxidants for applications in the culinary, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical
industries. Further research is needed to comprehensively analyze its
bioactivities and understand the underlying mechanisms of action.
