Abstract
Clitoria ternatea L. is a medicinal and ornamental plant widely used in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. The present study characterizes C. ternatea seed oil and it’s bioactive potential. A higher SFA (38.9–41.85 %) and MUFA (45.5 – 46.2 %) content was recorded in oil extracted from the mature seeds of the blue (BSO) and white- flowered (WSO) varieties of C. ternatea L. The FT-IR spectra of both oils were similar. BSO and WSO had better TPC (55 – 63 mg/100 g), TFC (18 – 24 mg/100 g) and antioxidant activities than many other commercially used edible vegetable oils. Quercetin (67–116 mg/100 g) and sinapic acid (0.08 – 0.31 mg/100 g) were the major bioactive compounds detected via UHPLC. The in vitro inhibition of protein denaturation suggests the potential anti-inflammatory property of both BSO and WSO. The physicochemical and nutraceutical properties of both the oils were similar. Analysis of the defatted meals (meal) from both varieties indicated the retention of most of the phytoconstituents in the defatted meals. Defatted meal can be further explored as an animal feed as a by-product of oil extraction. Thus, considering their nutraceutical abilities, BSO and WSO can be explored in the functional food industries.
