| Summary: | Background and purpose: Basil (Ocimum americanum L.) is a family medicinal
plant (TOGA) that contains various phenolic compounds and has been known to
have benefits as a natural antioxidant. This study aims to develop a Pickering
emulsion formula stabilized by basil leaf extract at the oil/water interface to
produce better antioxidant activity and oxidative stress reduction effect. Methods:
Basil leaf was extracted using a combination of maceration and sonication methods
with 96% ethanol and 1% citric acid at a ratio of 60:40. Optimization of the
Pickering emulsion preparation method was carried out. Then, the Pickering
emulsions were fabricated using components, i.e., basil leaf extract, humectant
(hexylene glycol and glycerin), Tween 20, sunflower oil, and urea or arginine. The
study focused on Pickering emulsion added with urea (PEMU), arginine (PEMA),
and, as a comparison, their bases (BSU and BSA). Pickering emulsions were
characterized, and stability was studied for 28 days. In addition, reactive oxygen
species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) inhibition studies were performed on H2O2- or
lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Results: Optimizing the
emulsification method results showed that the combination of ultra-turrax, bath,
and probe sonicator produced the smallest globule size. Pickering emulsion was
successfully fabricated, confirmed through microstructural observations with a
polarizing light microscope, confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), and
transmission electron microscope (TEM). The globule sizes of PEMU and PEMA
were 170.97 ± 6.14 nm and 196.17 ± 1.25 nm, respectively. Antioxidant activity
increased in extracts formulated into PEMU and PEMA by 48.61% and 75.51%,
respectively. PEMA showed better antioxidant activity, ROS inhibition, and was
confirmed to have a positive charge. On the other hand, PEMU showed better cell
viability, globule size, and NO inhibition. Conclusion: Basil leaf extract has the
potential to stabilize Pickering emulsions through PEMU and PEMA formulations
with increased antioxidant activity and reduced oxidative stress activity.
