“…(iii) Acorus calamus L. or sweet flag belongs to the Acoraceae family and is a wellknown traditional medicinal plant. Studies of the key bioactive compounds of A. calamus have revealed phenyl propanoids, alkaloids, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols, and α-, and β-asarone as the major components in the extracts of different plant parts and essential oils [18][19][20]. Susanah et al reported that the total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the ethanol extract of A. calamus rhizome totaled 23.98 mg GAE/g and 1.90 mg QE/g of the dry rhizome extract, respectively [21].…”

In this research, we aimed to assess antibacterial activity and develop oral care products from three natural plant extracts from the Thai highlands. The plants, including Camellia sinensis var. assamica, Zanthozylum limonella Alston, and Acorus calamus L., were extracted using two traditional extraction techniques: maceration and hydrodistillation methods. The extracts were characterized by percentage yield, total phenolic, and total flavonoid contents. Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, which play a role in oral health and disease, was investigated. C. sinensis var. assamica extract had the highest content of phenolic acid (38.15 ± 4.12 mg GAE/g extract) and flavonoids (44.91 ± 2.76 mg QE/g extract). Interestingly, a combination of C. sinensis with Z. limonella and A. calamus provides a greater inhibitory effect against S. aureus. Furthermore, oral care products were prepared as a natural product mixture in two preparations: (i) oral ulcers gel and (ii) oral spray. Apart from antibacterial efficiency, volunteer satisfaction after the usage of oral care products containing traditional plant extracts was investigated via organoleptic evaluation. The findings of the volunteer surveys indicated positive feedback for both oral care products with high satisfaction levels. Hence, these oral care products could potentially be natural antimicrobial agents and can be further developed and applied for oral applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
