In respect to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing an herbal extract from a plant of Arecaceae family is disclosed. The method basically comprises the steps of pre-treating foliages from a plant of Arecaceae family; extracting the pre-treated foliages using a polar solvent; removing the pre- 20treated foliages from the used polar solvent; and concentrating the used polar solvent to acquire the herbal extract. The disclosed method is found to be effective in isolating the favored phenolic compounds /flavonoids, peptides or active metabolites which provides a therapeutic effect or health promoting effect towards the cardiovascular system upon ingestion orally of a subject.
According to another preferred embodiment of the disclosed method, the foliages are pre-treated before subjecting to extraction. The pre-treatment process may involve a washing step to clean any dirt or physical pollutants captured at the surface of the foliages. Other pretreatment step is preferably reducing the moisture content of the 30foliages by any known means or approaches in the art to improve the extraction rate and yield. In the preferred embodiment, the foliages are subjected to drying in an oven at 40-120°C. The drying temperature shall not be set too high as such practice may degrade the active metabolites and phenolic compounds /flavonoids contained within the foliages. The preferred temperature shall range from 40°C to 60°C. Other pretreatment steps that can be employed are preparing the dried foliages into small
Sfragments, or pulverization to paste or powdery form prior to the soaking step. The fragmentized portion or pulverized leaves can greatly increase the available contact surface of the dried foliages that are exposed to polar extraction solvent thus enhance the rate as well as the yield of the extraction method. Possibly, the pre-treated foliages may be subjected to a plurality occasion of extraction using different types of polar 10extraction solvent to obtain the optimal yield.
Though mere soaking the pre-treated foliages into the polar extraction solvent shall enable the extraction of the preferred phenolic compounds /flavonoids due to the i polarity attraction of the extraction solvent, the process may be accelerated by stirring - 15the extraction mixture, or the use of heat and pressure, both of the extraction solvent and the pre-treated foliages, during the time the extraction is conducted. It is important to note that the extracted phenolic compounds /flavonoids from the foliages are mainly constituted of polyphenols, small peptides and other bioactive compounds.
Therefore, the efficiency rate of the extraction is sensitive towards pH changes in the 20extraction solvent. In the most preferred embodiment of the disclosed method, the pH of the extraction content shall fall within the interval of pH 1 to 10, most preferred pH 3 to 8, for achieving optimal yield and extraction rate. Preferably, the pH of the extraction solvent is monitored closely during the extraction to ensure that the pH of the extraction solvent favors the reaction. Any shift of the pH can be adjusted back to 25the preferred range by using pH adjusters such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and the like. Moreover, applying appropriate amount of heat energy to the extraction system is another feasible approach to enhance the extraction rate and yield. Relying upon the polar solvent utilized, the heating is most preferred within the range of 40°C to 120°C. Precaution should be taken into consideration that 30denaturalization possibly occurs at high temperature of heating.
It is important to be noted that the foliages used in the disclosed method in the preferred embodiment derives from the plant species of, but not limited to, Elaeis guineensis, Elaeis oleifera, Phoenix dactylifera and Cocos nucifera. The extracts obtained from the abovementioned plant species are found pleasant in both taste and
Sfragrance thus render them suitable to be incorporated into edible products especially comestibles.
Pursuant to further embodiment of the disclosed method, the polar extraction solvent preferably employed is, but not limited to, any one or combination of water, alcohol, 10acetone and chloroform. The desired phenolic compounds /flavonoids to be extracted from the foliages are mainly constituted of, but not limited to, polyphenols and small peptides. Due to high polarity of these phenolic compounds /flavonoids, the polar solvent is found to be the effective in extracting these desired compounds from the plant matrix. To acquire optimal yield by using effective amount of polar extraction 15solvent, the ratio the pre-treated foliages to the polar extraction solvent is preferably 1-3: 6-10 (W/V).
Preferably, the pre-treated foliages after subjecting to extraction can be separated by any known means and approaches in the art for disposal. Vacuum filtration is most 20preferred as such approach is commonly available. Similarly, vaporization of the used polar extraction solvent to concentrate phenolic compounds /flavonoids can be performed by different approaches. For, example drying the used extraction solvent using heat energy or vacuum drying. Concentrating the phenolic compounds /flavonoids by dissipating the used extraction polar solvent shall finally reach to the 25stage where the phenolic compounds /flavonoids is concentrated to a paste or powdery form. This paste or powdery form of phenolic compounds /flavonoids extract can then be utilized for various applications.
Attention is now drawn to another embodiment of the present invention which 30involves a comestible composition for promoting healthcare of cardiovascular system of an individual comprises extracts derive from foliages of a plant of Arecaceae
. ¢ 8 family using a polar extraction solvent. The comestibles mentioned herein can be any common daily consumed processed food such as bread, noodles, confections, chocolates, beverages, and the like. One skilled in the art shall appreciate the fact that the aforesaid extract can be incorporated into the processed comestibles during the
Scourse of food processing. Therefore, any modification thereon shall not depart from the scope of the present invention.
As setting forth in the above description, the foliages used for preparing the extract are derived from the plants of Arecaceae family. More preferably, the plant is any one 100r combination of the plant species of, but not limited to, Elaeis guineensis, Elaeis oleifera, Phoenix dactylifera and Cocos nucifera. The inventors of the present invention discovered that the extract derives from the aforementioned species possesses both pleasant taste and fragrance that confers the derived extract to be comfortably incorporated with the comestibles product with minimal additional 15refining process.
According to the preferred embodiment, the extract to be incorporated into the comestibles can be acquired from any known method not limited only to the foregoing disclosed method. Following to another embodiment, the extract is prepared 20in a concentrated form, preferably paste or powdery form which enables the extract to be prepared in various formulations of the comestibles.
In line with the preferred embodiment, the extract shall be the plant metabolites which are susceptible to a polar extraction solvent. The phenolic compounds /flavonoids and 25small peptides with the cardiovascular system health-promoting properties are those metabolites with high polarity in the foliages. Therefore, the extract from the foliages of plants of Arecaceae family is preferably derives from the polar extraction solvent of water, alcohol, acetone, chloroform and any combination thereof. 30In view of the prominent property of promoting healthcare of cardiovascular system of the extract, further embodiment of the present invention includes a method for promoting healthcare of cardiovascular system in a subject comprising the step of administrating orally the subject an effective amount of an extract of foliages derive from a plant of Arecaceae family using a polar extraction solvent. From the experiments conducted, it is clear that the extract employed in this embodiment shows
Santihypertensive, anti-oxidative, anti-atherogenic, anti-hypercholestrol, anti- hyperlipidemic, anti-obesity, vasorelaxant and similar effects. Moreover, the plant of
Arecaceae family is any one or combination of, but not limited to, Elaeis guineensis,
Elaeis oleifera, Phoenix dactylifera and Cocos nucifera. 10Upon intake of the extract, the ingested composition not only acts like prophylaxis to prevent development or advancement of the cardiovascular diseases, but also function as therapeutic composition to relieve or even heal the diseased state.
The following example is intended to further illustrate the invention, without any 15intent for the invention to be limited to the specific embodiments described therein.
EXAMPLE 1
The extraction conditions were conducted as follows: 200il palm leaves were collected, cleaned, washed and cut into small pieces and oven dried at 40°C overnight. The dried material was ground using a blender and extracted three times with alcohol (1:10 v/v) and three times with acetone or with mixtures of chloroform and alcohol. Other solvent may be used as a medium for the polyphenols extraction. This is a process designed to separate soluble phenolic compound by 25diffusion from a solid matrix (plant tissue) using a liquid matrix (solvent). Alcohol, chloroform and acetone has produced good yield in extracting flavones, flavonols, and catechin. The extraction was done a few times. The pooled extracts were vacuum- dried at 40°C and stored until used. 30EXAMPLE 2
Anti-hypertensive, anti-atherogenic, anti-hypercholesterol, anti-obesity, anti- hyperlipidemic, antioxidative and organ protective properties evaluation had been conducted on the different products from the different source of palm leaves. 5The anti-obesity, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-hypercholesterol, and anti-atherogenic properties of palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients are described.
Animals on high-cholesterol diet supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients for 12 weeks, showed lower body weight gain, lower total plasma cholesterol (TC), lower plasma triglycerides (TG) and lower bad Low 10Density lipoprotein Cholesterol and lower plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) which are the products of lipid oxidation that can react with protein, DNA and cell membranes, causing further organ and tissue damage (Fig 1 and Table 1). High cholesterol diet animals supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients particularly oil palm leaves showed a trend of increased plasma good high density 15lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and lower Al (atherogenic index) compared to animals on high cholesterol diet alone. These palm leaves extract (both instant and herbal tea) and palm leaves functional ingredients showed significant anti-obesity, anti-hyperlipidemic, antioxidative, lower Atherogenic index, anti-hypercholesterol effect, anti-hypertension and organ protective effects for use as functional beverage 20palm extract and palm leaves functional ingredients for reducing degenerative diseases risks.
The palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients supplemented animals on high-cholesterol diet showed significant lower body weight gain as compared to 25animals fed on high-cholesterol diet (C) alone (Table 1). The palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients supplemented animals on normal diet showed no significant differences in body weight gain as compared to the normal diet animals suggesting that these palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients do not significantly increase or decrease body weight of normal healthy animals.
The animals fed on high-cholesterol diet (C), had their plasma TC increased by 67% in 6 weeks and 83% in 12 weeks which were significantly higher than normal control animals (N). The animals fed on high-cholesterol diet supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients showed lower plasma TC value (lower
Sby -61%) as compared to animals fed on high-cholesterol diet alone (C). The plasma
TC value in normal animals supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients (NE, NC and NS) showed no significant difference with animals fed on control diet (N). There was an increase of plasma TG level of animals fed with high-cholesterol diet alone (C) from the beginning till the end of the 10experiment (12 weeks). After 12 weeks, animals on high cholesterol diet supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients showed a significant lower plasma TG level of -66% as compared to animals without supplementation (C). 15Table 1 shows, plasma HDL-C of high-cholesterol fed animals supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients (CE) were significantly higher than high-cholesterol diet alone (C). The plasma HDL-C in high-cholesterol fed animals supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients showed a significant increase of 60% compared to high-cholesterol diet 20(C) alone. The high-cholesterol group (C) showed significantly higher LDL-C level as compared to the control group (N). The plasma LDL-C in high-cholesterol fed animals supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients showed a significant decrease of -61% relative to animals fed on high-cholesterol diet (C) alone.
The data demonstrated that animals fed on high cholesterol diet supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients reduced the levels of plasma TC and LDL-C. In addition the results showed that animals fed on high cholesterol diet supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional 30ingredients (particularly oil palm leaves) increased the concentration of HDL-C when compared with high cholesterol diet (C) alone. High-cholesterol diet supplemented with palm leaves herbal tea showed a trend of increased plasma HDL-C, reduced TG, reduced LDL-C levels and lower atherogenic index (AI) as compared to high- cholesterol group without palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients supplementation.
Atherogenic index (Table 1) expressed by the ratio of LDL-C/HDL-C, significantly decreased in high-cholesterol diet supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients as compared to high-cholesterol diet alone. These effects is beneficial as the observed decreased in these indices indicate that palm leaves 10extract and palm leaves functional ingredients play an important protective role in reducing risk against atherosclerosis and CVD.
The animals fed on high-cholesterol diet (C) showed higher MDA levels compared to 15control animals (N), especially the MDA elevation at week 12. Animals fed on high- cholesterol diet supplemented with Palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients showed significantly lower MDA level as compared to animals without supplementation (C) after 12 weeks, indicating that these palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients retarded lipid peroxidation. High lipid peroxidation 20as indicated by the terminal product MDA, is associated with high oxidative injury by free radicals and oxidative status.

EXAMPLE 3 5The anti-oxidative properties of palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients are described in Table 2, 3 an 4.
Table 2 shows that the erythrocytes SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT activities of hypertensive animals (SHR) were significantly increased compared to control 10normotensive animals (N) indicating increased oxidative states of the animals. The hypertensive animals (SHR) supplemented with palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients, (SHR + OPLE) showed significant reduced erythrocytes SOD,
GSH-Px, and CAT activities, bringing it back to near normal levels of normotensive animals. SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT is the first line of antioxidative enzyme defense 15against oxidative stress, converting reactive oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and water.
SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT reduced activity indicate reduced oxidative stress in hypertensive animals supplemented with oil palm leaves extract. Similar results were observed in the organs most commonly affected by hypertension namely kidneys, hearts and brain.

EXAMPLE 6 10Beneficial vasorelaxing Nitric Oxide enhancing properties of palm leaves extract and palm leaves functional ingredients.
Table 5 summarizes the nitric oxide values measured in serum of experimental rats.
Nitric oxide (NO) levels decreased significantly in L-NAME and L-NAME+OPLE 15rats versus control rats at week 6. NO were slightly increased in L-NAME+OPLE rats versus values in L-NAME rats. However, by week 8, serum NO in both L-NAME and
L-NAME+OPLE rats returned to the level similar to the values in control rats, and maintained until the end of the study. There is a partial increase in NO in L-NAME +
OPLE rats compared to L-NAME rats although it was not significant. In SHR + 200PLE rats nitric oxide level increased significantly versus both SHR and control rats.
By the end of the study only SHR + captopril group had significantly higher nitric oxide level versus control rats
