research is aimed to prove the ability of nano size extracted freeze-dried Java
Plum Fruit (JPF) as free radical scavenger. This ability is due to their rich
contained of complex transitional metal-flavonoid compounds. The experiment was
done by application of the extracted freeze-dried JPF in the cigarette filter.
The smoke wavelength shift in the IR spectra when compared to mainstream
cigarette smoke released from a cigarette filter without JPF. The physical and
chemical characteristics of the mainstream smoke were analyzed by Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electron
Spin Resonance (ESR). The XRD analysis of cigarette mainstream smoke of two
products, one with JPF in the filter and the other one without JPF in the
filter, indicated a significant difference in the resulting diffraction
patterns. Additional and altered diffraction peaks were found in the spectrum
of the mainstream smoke of the cigarette containing JPF in the filter. This
finding suggests that JPF applied into the filter might alter the chemical
properties of mainstream smoke. The result of the ESR analysis depicted that
the mainstream smoke of cigarette with the JPF in the filter was less
paramagnetic than the mainstream smoke from the cigarette without JPG on the
filter. The factor-g value was higher (g-value: 2.0063) for the mainstream
smoke of the cigarette without JPF in the filter; the lower g-value for the
cigarette with JPG in the filter (g-value: 2.0048) is most likely caused by an
energy splitting. Furthermore, the ESR spectra indicated a decline in the
concentration of free radicals in the mainstream smoke of the cigarette with
JPG in the filter. Our findings suggest that the extract of JPF applied in a
cigarette filter can effectively decrease the number of free radicals in
mainstream cigarette smoke.
