Perilla seed pomace and its constituent phytochemicals have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging benefits. However, its effects on aging-related cognitive decline are not well-studied. Therefore, the antioxidant and neuroprotective properties of perilla seed pomace extract (PSE) on hydrogen peroxide (HO)-induced neuronal cell death were examined. Additionally, the efficacy of PSE in ameliorating age-related cognitive impairment was evaluated using the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8). PSE showed free radical scavenging activities and inhibited FeSO-HO-induced lipid peroxidation. In HT22 neuronal cells, PSE protected against HO-induced oxidative stress and cytotoxicity by restoring mitochondrial membrane potential and attenuating excessive reactive oxygen species production. Furthermore, PSE reversed the HO-induced upregulation of apoptotic markers (Bax, cleaved caspase-3) and downregulation of the anti-apoptotic marker Bcl-2. Additionally, the protein levels of antioxidant enzymes (Catalase, SOD, and GPx) were increased under conditions of HO-induced oxidative stress. , PSE significantly ameliorated cognitive deficits, as evidenced by improved performance in passive avoidance and Morris water maze test results. Further, PSE reduced the accumulation of lipid peroxides and significantly increased catalase and glutathione peroxidase activity in the brain. These findings suggest that PSE attenuates aging-related cognitive deficits by enhancing antioxidant defenses in the brain, highlighting its potential as a dietary intervention for aging-related cognitive decline.

As a dual-purpose medicinal and edible resource, Perilla seeds are rich in bioactive compounds. There are very few studies on the by-product of perilla seed hells. Moreover, there is a lack of systematic research on the chemical composition and biological activity of perilla seed hell polyphenols.

Perilla oil, a plant-derived lipid rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA), has demonstrated enhanced bioavailability when administered as an inclusion complex with γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD). Crucially, it remains unclear whether this enhancement requires complex formation or can be achieved simply by co-ingestion. To address this, we compared the effects of a γ-CD-perilla oil inclusion complex to the effects of a physical mixture of the two on the plasma fatty acid profiles of rats fed these preparations for four weeks.

Perilla seed meal (PSM) is a waste biomass of perilla seed extraction that retains flavonoid and phenolic compounds. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of PSM extracts (PSMEs) from (L.) Britton as a sustainable source of natural active pharmaceutical ingredients (NAPIs) containing rosmarinic acid and luteolin for promoting bone health.

Perilla seed oil (PSO), rich in unsaturated α-linolenic acid, faces challenges such as oxidation susceptibility, low solubility, and poor bioaccessibility, limiting its applications. In this study, PSO was extracted from Perilla seeds as lipid droplets (LDs) using sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The resulting PSLDs exhibited a spherical morphology with a diameter of 1.

Perilla seed has long been recognized in traditional diets for its health-promoting properties, but its potential role in hair loss prevention remains underexplored. This study compared three extraction methods-maceration (MAC), screw pressing (SC), and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)-to determine their efficiency in recovering bioactive compounds and their effects on androgenetic alopecia (AGA)-related pathways. The SFE extract contained the highest levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and tocopherols, while MAC uniquely recovered a broader range of polyphenols.
