Spent coffee grounds (SCG) a by-product from coffee industries, coffee shops and domestic users contain large amounts of organic compounds which could be re-used as source antioxidants for foods or cosmetics. This project aims to study the antioxidant activity of three different spent ground coffee varieties (Robusta, Liberica and Arabica) extracted using ultrasonic-ethanol assisted extraction method utilizing 60% ethanol. The extracted samples were analysed using DPPH, FRAP, FTC and TBA, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and also individual flavonoids to measure the quality and quantity of antioxidative activity in spent coffee. Robusta and Liberica SCGs exhibited similar activity (p>0.05) towards DPPH scavenging and ferric reducing reaction. Both showed 77.99±0.92 and 77.75±0.04%, respectively for DPPH, and 26.82±2.92 and 24.41±0.49 mg TE/g dry sample, respectively for FRAP. In FTC and TBA analyses, Robusta SCG was found to have the least activity with 61.07±2.43% and 2.9±0.14% respectively. Spent Arabica has similar inhibition percentage (p>0.05) as Liberica SCG in FTC (57.08±0.9 and 50.54±4.23% respectively), yet has different inhibition activity (p<0.05) in TBA (4.3±0.14 and 7.4±1.41% respectively). Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were found to be the highest in Arabica SCG with 941.04±37.25 mg GAE and 78.21 mg QE/g dry sample, respectively. Liberica and Robusta SCGs contain a total of phenolic content of 661.14±2.86 and 547.51±59.5 mg GAE/g dry sample, respectively and a total of flavonoid content of 71.64±1.85 and 20.66±7.82 mg QE/g dry sample. Individual flavonoids of luteolin and quercetin were present in all the three spent ground coffee varieties. Results from the study illustrated that the three different varieties of SCGs showed different extract yields as well as diverse traits of antioxidant activity that could serve as a good antioxidant.

“…The geographical distribution of Lepisanthes is broad, extending from India and Sri Lanka in the west to Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Papua New Guinea in the east. In Southeast Asia, six of these species are native to Malaysia and can be found flourishing in the wild as well as in orchards (i.e., L. alata , L. amoena, L. fruticosa, L. senegalensis, L. rubiginosa, and L. tetraphylla ) [ 5 , 6 ]. The tropical rainforest is the natural habitat of Lepisanthes species, which grows from lowland to lower montane forest at 1800 m above sea level.…”

Extensive knowledge related to medicinal characteristics of plants by living in forest or semi-forest habitats and close observations of indigenous communities have led to the discoveries of the genus Lepisanthes and its traditional uses. The genus Lepisanthes is a member of the Sapindaceae family and is found in various regions of the world. Six species of Lepisanthes such as L. alata, L. amoena, L. fruticosa, L. senegalensis, L. rubiginosa, and L. tetraphylla are widely utilized in traditional and folk medicinal systems. They have been used for centuries for the treatment of ailments or symptoms such as pain, dizziness, high fever, frequent passing of watery stool (diarrhea), abscess, and healing of cuts and wounds. Various methodological approaches, mainly in vitro studies, have been employed to further explore the roles of the genus Lepisanthes. The studies identified that the genus Lepisanthes exerts beneficial effects such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic, antimalarial, analgesic, and antidiarrheal. However, the summary of the available literature remains inconclusive. This review aims to comprehensively address the botany, traditional uses, phytochemistry, methods, and pharmacological properties of the six commonly used Lepisanthes species. Hence, our review provides a scientific consensus that may be essential in translating the pharmacological properties of the genus Lepisanthes into future novel cost-effective medicines.

“…The caffeates substituent are attached to C-3 of hopane while coumarates are connected to lupane skeletons. On the other hand, triterpenoid saponins were isolated to give eight known compounds (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). These compounds usually form a glycosidic bond to its glycine namely glucose, arabinose, rhamnose and xylose.…”

The genus Lepisanthes belonging to Sapindaceae family, comprises of 26 species and 2 subspecies of trees and shrubs. 1 They are widely distributed in tropical region from Africa to Madagascar, South to Southeast Asia and from northwestern Australia to New Guinea. The distribution of plants according to species are summarized in Table 1. The trees of Lepisanthes genus are commonly found in a coastal forest or on islands, or in the transition zone between mangrove and dry land. It can also grow in lowland forest, wastelands, by streams, or in secondary forest up to 500 m altitude. Plants from the genus Lepisanthes are discriminated based on their micro-morphological characters such as cuticular striation, stomata structure, type of waxes, trichome 2 as well as vessels, parenchyma, rays and fiber morphology. 3 Traditionally, plants from this genus are used to cure headache, fever, 4 chest pain and nosebleed. 5 Aside from medicinal uses, it is also utilized as food preservatives and as sleep-inducing food. 6 The timbers are used for house building, manufactured as tool handles, crafted as kitchen utensil and chopped as firewood. 7 Unripe fruits are green in color and when the fruits are ripe, the color change from yellow to orange to red. Some species are planted for their fruits. [8][9][10] Due to its colorful fruits, Lepisanthes alata is used as decorative plant among local in Malaysia. 11 The fruits are 3 to 4 cm long obovoid berries borne in clusters, and can be eaten fresh, as it is sweet when ripe. This species is widely planted due to the sweetness of the fruits. The phytochemical screening of this genus has shown the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponin triterpenoids, phenolics and glycosides. 6,[12][13] Pharmacological studies of the extracts showed the presence of anticancer, antimicrobial, antiacetylcholinesterase,
