چکیده

Cicer Arietinum (Leguminosae) is an annual herb, known as local Indian name ‘Kala Chana’. Its root was extracted using solvents of different polarities and explored for invitro free radical scavenging activity. Preliminary assays of three different extracts of Cicer Arietinum root, scavenges 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl stable free radicals in concentration dependent manner. All studied extracts possess electron donating ability and reduction of ferric ion to ferrous in a cell free system at pH-7.4. It has also been found from total antioxidant capacity as assessed by reduction of molybdate showed Cicer arietinum root extracts to possess (standard) ascorbic acid equivalents per milligrams of the extracts. Hydro alcoholic root extract was found more effective when compared to alcoholic and water extracts in scavenging 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, reducing ferric ion and molybdate reduction in antioxidant capacity. The significant correlations exist between extract concentrations and percentage scavenging activity of radicals in all models. These results clearly indicate that Cicer Arietinum root is effective free radical scavenger and chain breaking antioxidant.

Component analysis and free radicals scavenging activity of Cicer arietinum L. husk pectin.

A pectin (CAP) was extracted from the husk of Cicer arietinum L. Monosaccharide analysis of CAP revealed the dominance of galacturonic acid and smaller amounts of galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, glucose, xylose and mannose. Viscosimetric analysis showed that the intrinsic viscosity ([η]) and the molecular weight (MW) of CAP were 296 mL/g and 105 kDa, respectively. The degree of esterification (...
