Dr. Mariano Que College of Pharmacy academic teaching faculty present breakthrough results of narra extract research
The Dr. Mariano Que College of Pharmacy had their media presentation of their narra extract research report on September 3, 2022 at the Rembrandt Hotel in Diliman, Quezon City. It was attended by various print, radio, and tv news outfits including Manila Bulletin, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine News Agency, DZBB, Radyo Pilipinas, PTV, Net 25 and GMA News among others.
Mr. Timothy Jay L. Bengala, faculty and principal investigator of the narra research presented the findings to the local press. The research aimed to determine whether different production processing methods for Narra extracts affected the quantity of polyphenolic compounds and their antioxidant property. Antioxidants are widely explored for their use in many diseases resulting from oxidative cellular damage by free radicals. The antioxidant property of dried Narra samples was evaluated using Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC). The ORAC score is a measure of the antioxidant capacity of different foods and supplements. Narra extract’s ORAC scores displayed high levels of antioxidant property placing it among the top 10% of USDA List of Food Items with antioxidant activity.
An open forum followed after the presentation. Mr. Bengala was accompanied by research contributors: Instructor. Sigfredo B. Mata, Chair for Research and Development, Prof. Dr. Alicia P. Catabay, Founding Dean of the College, and Associate Professor Louie Fernand D. Legaspi, current Dean of the College.
