Abstract

Prior study proposed that extracts of edible flora might own electrochemical activities to act as electron shuttles (ESs), stimulating capabilities bioelectricity generation in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) at appropriate environmental conditions. However, applications of converting such electrochemical species (e.g., medicinal herbs and tea extracts) to be ESs for practical use still remained open for discussion. Thus, this first-attempt study disclosed critical conditions to manipulate ESs with stably reversible characteristics of electrochemistry from natural bioresources and provided quantitative assessment with practical values for biorefinery/bioenergy applications. According to total phenolics, antioxidant scavenging and power density analyses, Syzygium aromaticum owned the most promising electrochemical capabilitt to be electron shuttle (ES) to stimulate energy extraction. The findings indicated that antioxidant activities, total phenolic contents and electron shuttling-activities were all strongly electrochemically associated for sustainable uses. In addition, closed-loop area of redox potential profiles in cyclic voltammetry could quantitatively represent electrochemical activity of test medicinal herb for antioxidant and ES uses.
