Response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction parameters. The estimation of polyphenols was measured through phenols reduction UV-Vis spectroscopic method of phosphotungstic-phosphomolybdic acids (Folin-Ciocalteu’s reagent).

1. Introduction

Plant polyphenols are secondary metabolites that may be extensively studied and used in

US

different fields of studies such as chemotoxonomy, plant biochemistry, biogenesis etc. There are reports of more than 8,000 polyphenolic compounds, identified and isolated from plants sources

AN

(Pandey and Rizvi, 2009). These compounds have been reported from all plants parts such as roots, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds.

Plasma antioxidant capacity may be enhanced by using Polyphenol-rich foods (Pandey and Rizvi, 2009). Herbal teas in traditional medicines have been used to treat cardiovascular and

The seeds are considered as rich sources for total phenol contents. Study of legume seeds such as chickpeas, field peas, faba beans, common vetch and lupins has shown that chickpeas had

AC

highest phenolic contents as compared to the other tested legumes (Magalhaes et al., 2017). Total phenolic contents of pigeon pea used in Oman for chronic diseases were tested for phenol contents (Al-Saeedi and Hossain, 2015). The results showed highest phenol contents in hexane extract followed by chloroform, methanol, butanol, ethylacetate, and water extracts. Alhakmani et al. (2014) studied phenol contents in seeds and fruits of Zizyphus spina-cristi in Oman which showed higher phenol contents in seeds than the fruits. Calibration model was applied using Fourier Transfer Near Infrared spectroscopy (FTNIR) in estimation of phenol contents in rapeseed-mustard genotypes (Bala and Singh, 2013).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Extraction and estimation of total phenol contents in Prunus dulcis seeds by warring blender method revealed that ethyl acetate fraction showed higher phenol contents and antioxidant acitivity (Dhingra et al., 2017). While comparing various methods of seeds oil extractions and fractions of Butia catarinensis seeds, Ethanol and ethanol-water by Soxhelt extraction exhibited higher total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities (Cruz et al., 2017). However, in another study,

US

Therefore, new methods of extractions and quantifications will be required according to the seeds nature and properties.

AN

There are not only the extraction methods and species variations that affect the extraction of total phenolic contents but also the solvents have shown variable results. In above mentioned

M

cases, hexane, ethylacetate and ethanol extract depending on species showed high phenol contents. In another study, methanol (as compared to ethanol, acetone and chloroform) was a

(Dhull et al., 2016). Total phenolic compounds in seeds were in the range of 0.10–1.18  mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight basis (mg GAE/g dwb). HPLC study confirmed the presence

of catechin, cinnamic acid, gallic acid and ascorbic acid. The antioxidant potential in seed extracts of Origanum majorana confirmed the presence of nutraceutical properties in them

AC

which will further be helpful in the preparation of various functional food products. Due to the complex nature of metabolic processes, statistical approaches are used to get meaningful results from the raw data that are also used when the aim is to develop any method or product. One of the statistical tests applied on development of methods is design of experiments (DoE). In the design of experiments, generally, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is applied that reduces time, efforts on number of experiments, and helpful in getting the optimum results.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT An objective of our study was to optimize the extraction and quantification of total phenols in seeds of different plants species using Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (FC reagent) method. To apply our new method of extraction and quantification of total phenolic contents, we had selected four seeds from different species belonging to four different families (Trachyspermum ammi, Family Apiaceae; Sesamum indicum, Family Pedaliaceae; Ocimum basilicum, Family Lamiaceae; and

T

Lepidium sativum L.; Family Brassicaceae).

IP

The seeds of Basil plant (Ocimum basilicum) are known to have medicinal uses as diuretic, antipyretic, antispasmodic and stomachic, also Basil extracts have vast useful properties bactericidal,

The red seeds from Lepidium sativum in Sultanate of Oman, common name in Arabic is Hab el

AN

Rashaad or Thufa, belonging to the Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) family, are one of the natural sources of antioxidant. It is one of the herpes Pharmaceutical drugs which are widely used in

M

gulf region as well as in alternative Pharmaceutical drugs. Lepidium sativum extracts have been

screened for various biological activities like hypotensive, anti-microbial, bronchodilator, hypoglycemic and allelopathic activities.

PT

Sesame (Ocimum basilicum) is cultivated for its edible seeds, containing oil, considered as an antioxidant. It is used for skin freshness, anti-inflammatory agent, and as a home remedy for

CE

sunburns.

Ajwan seeds (Trachyspermum ammi) are commonly used in Indian curries and Middle East

AC

cuisines. It has been reported that thymol isolated from ajwan seeds successfully lowered blood pressure in rats (Aftab et al., 1995). Essential oils from the fruits of ajwan have significantly inhibited the production of aflatoxin B1 in chickpeas and wheat suggesting that it may be used as preservative in foods for longer shelflife (Kedia et al., 2015)

2. Materials and methods 2.1. Basil Seed Samples preparation

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Four seeds i.e. basil seed, red seed, sesame seeds and ajwan seeds were purchased from local market in Sultanate of Oman. 34 beakers of 100 ml capacity were taken and to each backer 1.0 g of grinded seed sample was added. Similarly the different volumes and the concentrations of both Methanol and NaOH solutions were also added to each flask according to full factorial design as shown in Table 1. Each extraction mixture was prepared in duplicate order. So the total

It can be seen from Table 3 that Basil seeds containing the highest amount of total phenols i.e.

4. Conclusion

ED

The proposed DoE method provides better extraction efficiency as compared to the conventional extraction methods for phenolic compounds extraction. It has also the advantage of acceptable

accuracy and precision. This method is also easier and cheaper to perform than HPLC separations and do not require expansive reagents and organic solvents. The results of the study

also show that, though seeds are used in very small quantity in food, they are potential sources of antioxidants. It is concluded that the basil seeds is the best source of antioxidant because it
