Transformation of Melinjo seed micropowders into nanopowders enhances extractability of phenolic compounds and tyrosinase inhibitory activity

Melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.) seed powder extract exhibited antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activity, thus showing potential as a dietary supplement or nutraceutical to prevent aging or hyperpigmentation. Previously, we found that particle size plays important role in extraction of bioactive comp...

The effects of melinjo seed powders particle size on its physicochemical characteristics, extraction efficiency and release of phenolic compounds, as well as tyrosinase inhibitory activity were observed. The nanomilling successfully transformed melinjo seed micropowders into nanopowders within 90 min of milling.

The melinjo seed nanopowders at mean particle diameter of ~675 nm exhibited the highest extraction yield and phenolic compounds release. As a consequence, the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the melinjo seed nanopowders was 4.5 times higher than that of the melinjo seed micropowders.
