Abstract

Growth-promoting effect of safflower seed extract toward human beneficial intestinal bacteria investigated by spectrometric method and varied according to bacterial strains. At 10 and 5 mg/mL, hexane fraction of MeOH extract and safflower seed oil showed significant growth-promoting response to B. bifidum and B. longum, but no response to Lactobacillus. The growth-promoting response of hexane fraction was similar to that of safflower seed oil. Major fatty acids of safflower seed oil were linoleic acid 78.18%, oleic acid 11.67%, palmitic acid 6.66%, stearic acid 2.14%, behenic acid 0.30%, arachidic acid 0.28%, linolenic acid 0.20%, eicosenoic acid 0.19%, myristic acid 0.11 %, docosahexaenoic 0.10%, palmitoleic acid 0.08%, lignoceric acid 0.05%. heptadecanoic acid 0.03%, and pentadecanoic acid 0.02%. Results revealed the growth-promoting effects of safflower seed oil and hexane fraction as bifidus factors for altering the growth and population of the intestinal bacteria may be caused by various components or fatty acids of safflower seed extract.
