Overview

Comparative analytical study reveals distinct metabolite profiles in horse chestnut seed extracts, indicating process parameters dictate final therapeutic quality.

Key Points

To characterize and compare the metabolite compositions and saponin concentrations of hydroalcoholic versus aqueous fermented horse chestnut seed extracts prepared by official pharmacopeial protocols.
Extracted Aesculus hippocastanum L. seeds using official pharmacopeial hydroalcoholic and aqueous fermentation procedures.
Profiled chemical constituents using HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn and GC-MS.
Quantified UV-active aescin derivatives using RP-HPLC-DAD and semi-quantified total saponins using a novel tensiometric method.
Identified distinct metabolite profiles, with HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn detecting triterpene saponins, flavonoid glycosides, and indoleacetic acid-N-glycosides, while GC-MS detected fatty acids, monosaccharides, and lactic acid.
Hydroalcoholic extraction yielded higher concentrations of aescin by RP-HPLC-DAD compared to aqueous fermented extraction, indicating superior recovery efficiency.
