Introduction to Betal Leaves
betal leaf essential oil (Piper betel L.), is a perennial traditional herbal plant belonging to Piperaceae family and originat in Malaysia. Over 700 species of Piper betel were discover in both Northern and Southern hemispheres of the world and widely grown in most of the countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and other Southeast Asian and East African countries (Umar et al., 2018).
The leaves having high pungent palatable taste causes irritation in mouth to some consumers. Therefore, sometimes this pungency is removed by a special smoke treatment called curing. Cured betel leaves were prepare by local farmers of West Bengal within a closed chamber. In that chamber, fresh green betel leaves were treat with smoke at a temperature of 50ᵒC for 6 h and then cooled at room temperature for 12 h. The green betel leaves were convert to yellow leaves (i.e. called cured leaves) after incubating for 15–20 days (Guha, 2007).
betal leaf essential oil produce better taste, colour (light yellow to white) and other attractive organoleptic properties besides stimulating and refreshing effects. The leaf has got a good nutritive value particularly due to its high mineral contents (mainly calcium), vitamins and bioactive compounds like phenolic, flavonoid, essential oil (EO) etc. Betel leaves contain a volatile EO contributing most of its medicinal, organoleptic, and other desirable properties. Essential oil is a mixture of a large number of volatile compounds (secondary metabolites) having complex composition with particular odour specific to betel leaf may be use for several medicinal purposes such as to relieve pain and promote healing.
It possesses various important biological properties like antioxidant, antifungal, antidiabetic, antiamoebic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and allied properties (Guha, 2006 and Guha, 2007; Desai and Parikh, 2015). Therefore, most of the chemical compounds derived from the plants have a wide range of potential applications such as food, flavour, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries etc (Thakker et al., 2018). As a result, numbers of researches are going on the analysis of bioactive compounds present in the EO.
Phyto-chemical compounds present in EO of plant materials are important components of human diet that can regulate the oxidation and stress related chronic diseases. To extract this EO from plant materials, several methods of extraction techniques such as hydro-distillation (HD), steam distillation, steam and water distillation, solvent extraction, super critical extraction etc. were adopt (Dai et al., 2010; Mason et al., 2011; Chemat et al., 2012).
These techniques are widely use to enhance the extraction efficiency and to identify the chemical constitutes because of its simple and fast repeatability. However, HD method was widely use to extract EOs from most of the plant matrix that has gained much popularity in the present time with low cost and environmental friendliness (Memarzadeh et al., 2015; Umar et al., 2018).
Generally, contaminated foods caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria are harmful for the society as well as to industry. Therefore, it is not clear whether there is any change in yield and composition of betal leaf essential oil or its components due to the treatments impart during curing of the betel leaves, consequently selection of the best treatment for curing the betel leaves remain partly in dark. However, according to literature survey, identification of chemical components derive from cure betel leaves have not been investigate yet. Therefore, firstly, the aim of the study was to optimize the EO yield extract from both fresh and cure betel leaves using three factors BBD of RSM design.
