The potential of Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq and Scurrula ferruginea stem from Syzygium aqueum as source of natural antioxidant

Many studies show the antioxidant ability of parasite plant. This study aims to determine capacity Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq and Scurrula ferruginea stem from Syzygium aqueum use as a natural source. The sample was taken host aqueum. sampels were exraction with ethanol using maceration. parameters determined spectrophotometrically specific reagents that 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, phenolics compounds Folin-Ciocalteu, flavonoids AlCl3, ascorbic acid sulfosalicylic acid, while chlorophyll carotenoid dimethyl sulfoxide. result D. S. extract showed IC50 15.09±1.02 20.53±1.77 mg/ml, content 557.45±19.77 433.99±20.89 mg GAE/ml extract, 9.72±0.23 3.02±0.71 QE/ml chlorophylls-a 2.67± 0.15 2.77±0,08 mg/g chlorophylls-b 3.34±0.06 3.44±0.04 total chlorophylls 6.01±0.21 carotenoids 1.71±0.01 2.10±0.01 respectively. stems both have very strong abilities so they are potential source antioxidants. support activity phenolic, flavonoids, acids. results this will open up opportunities obtain new sources antioxidants can be utilized in human health management.
