Vanilla

Abstract

In many of the published studies, it is not known how the substance being tested compares to the cosmetic ingredient. Therefore, if it is not known whether the chemicals being discussed are cosmetic ingredients, the test substances will be identified simply as "vanilla extract;" if it is known that the substance is a cosmetic ingredient, the terminology "Vanilla Planifolia…" or "Vanilla Tahitensis…" (e.g. Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract) will be used. CHEMISTRY Definition Vanilla planifolia and Vanilla tahitensis are 2 orchid species, and Vanilla tahitensis is a hybrid between Vanilla planifolia and Vanilla odorata. 2 The United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines vanilla beans as the properly cured and dried fruit pods of Vanilla planifolia Andrews and Vanilla tahitensis Moore [21 CFR 193.6]. According to the Dictionary, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract is the extract of the fruit (bean) of Vanilla planifolia, and Vanilla Tahitensis Fruit Extract is the extract of the fruit (bean) of Vanilla tahitensis; vanilla extract is a technical name for both. 1 The FDA defines vanilla extract as the solution in aqueous ethyl alcohol of the sapid and odorous principles extractable from vanilla beans (21 CFR 169.175). It should be noted that vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) is the primary component of the extract of the vanilla bean. 3 It should also be noted that neither synthetic vanilla nor artificial vanilla are derived from Vanilla spp. Thus, data on synthetic or artificial vanilla are not applicable to the ingredients in this report.

Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretic, and In Silico Measurements of Sonneratia caseolaris (L.) Fruits from Sundarbans, Bangladesh

“…From the antioxidative tests, we have found that SC extract is enriched in antioxidant components, and we also observed good analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic responses from the in vivo tests. As it is already mentioned that antioxidants have significant roles in treating inflammation and associated diseases, so it is supposed that antioxidant molecules reported in this plant such as vanillic acid (a phenolic compound) [ 50 ], oleanolic acid (a triterpenoid) [ 51 ], maslinic acid (a triterpenoid) [ 52 ], luteolin (a flavonoid) [ 53 ], myricetin (a polyphenolic compound) [ 54 ], and ellagic acid (a polyphenolic compound) [ 55 ] might be responsible for the mentioned pharmacological effects ( Figure 7 ). Therefore, we aimed to conduct the in silico study of these antioxidant compounds to determine the better binding affinities with related receptors.…”
