Comparative Studies on Antioxidant Activity of Flower of Clitoria Ternatea and Essential Oils Synergistically

The antioxidant activity stands out among the many benefits that are frequently associated with plant essential oils (EOs). Investigate the potential synergistic effects between the bioactive compounds extracted from Clitoria ternatea flowers and essential oils of Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Gaultheria oils. This can be done by combining different concentrations of flower extracts and essential oils and assessing their antioxidant activity compared to individual components. The additional antioxidant activity makes those natural materials extremely appealing as multi-functional preservatives, e.g., for food products, able to control spoilage caused both by microbial metabolism and by air oxidation. This activity has been extensively documented for many essential oils in recent and less recent literature. Consumer preference has gradually steered food technologists towards safer and more natural alternatives to synthetic additives in recent years, which has increased interest in plant-derived bioactive like essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated liquids containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. They are known for their aromatic and therapeutic properties. As a result, the ethyl acetate extract of Clitoria ternatea shows 70% Antioxidant activity and Ethanol extract of Clitoria ternatea Shows 65% Antioxidant potential. When we tested synergistically, Ethanol and Ethyl acetate extracts of Clitoria ternatea mixed with Clove oil give excellent Antioxidant activity 96% & 95% respectively. As well as Ethanol extract of Clitoria ternatea mixed with Cinnamon oils give higher Antioxidant activity 87%, then the ethyl acetate synergistically with cinnamon oil 55% antioxidant potential. So we can firmly says the novel finding that extracts of Clitoria ternatea with clove oils exhibited excellent Antioxidant activity. When combining Clitoria ternatea flowers extracts and essential oils, it may potentially enhance the overall antioxidant activity due to the presence of bioactive compounds in both. In this research paper we have investigated the antioxidant properties of Clitoria ternatea and various essential oils synergistically with Molecular Docking were carried out with 4BQY, 6NMQ, 8G43 protein target for Methyl salicylate and gave the best result among the proteins.
