    Ultrasound-assisted anthocyanins extraction from purple cabbage for optical biosensor of wound healing monitoring
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2024-03-29)
    The ethanol-water based extraction of phenolic bioactive components, anthocyanins, from purple cabbage (PC) was carried out. Ultrasound assisted extraction was performed and each cycle was set to 3 minutes. UV-visible absorbance was evaluated at each cycle (total 3 cycles) and the intensity of absorbance at 546~550 nm was interpreted as the extraction efficiency of anthocyanin. The pH sensibility of PC extracts was evaluated at pH 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 and measured with UV-Visible spectrometry. Each pH condition, the extracts presented different color shades and wavenumbers of maximum absorbance proving their pH sensibility. Antioxidant activity of PC extract was evaluated and the excellent inhibition capacity was observed (~98%). PC extract was then embedded in alginate membrane to use as wound dressing materials. Alginate membrane with PC extract also presented high pH sensibility showing remarkable color changes after exposure to different pH environments.

    Highly Efficient Ultrasound-Assisted Anthocyanin Extraction for Colorimetric Sensors and Drug Delivery Systems in Wound Dressings
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025)
    Anthocyanins were extracted from Peruvian purple cabbage (PC) using ultrasonication, a greener and more efficient technique. The anthocyanin extract was incorporated into polymeric alginate membranes to obtain a pH-sensitive biosensor to monitor wound healing processes and drug delivery. The halochromic behavior was tested in five different acidic media (pH 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) giving a differential colour for each. The antioxidant capacity of the PC extract was evaluated using the ABTS discoloration assay. A 1% (w/v) solution of the lyophilized extract resulted in 55.17 ± 0.46 TEAC mg/g. Phenolic content and equivalents of cyanidin-3-glucoside were evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu and pH differential assays, respectively, resulting in 36.1 ± 0.55 GAE mg and 8.63 ± 0.54 of C-3-G mg per gram of lyophilized extract, respectively. Finally, the PC extract was embedded in alginate (AL) membranes and characterized by contact angle and transparency.
