Total Phenol Content and Antioxidant Activity of Bryum billardieri
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Mosses contain active constituents that exhibit various biological activities. This study provides additional information on the potentials of mosses as natural sources of biologically active compounds that can be used as medicines. The antioxidant potential of Bryum billardieri Schwaegr. (Bryaceae) is herein studied by analyzing its total phenol content and its radical scavenging activity. Ethanolic extract of B. billardieri was prepared for Folin–Ciocalteau assay and 2,2’Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay. The total phenol content of B. billardieri ethanolic extract was 38.18 gallic acid equivalence, while the mean percentage antioxidant activity was 93.024% ± 0.023, while its EC50 was 0.0621%., signifying its potential as an antioxidant.

متن کاملChanges in Total Phenol and Some Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Antioxidant Activities of Rose-scented Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) in Response to Exogenous Ascorbic Acid and Iron Nutrition
Strong antioxidant activity of Pelargonium graveolens is well known. The question addressed in this study was whether different concentrations of exogenous ascorbic acid (AsA) and iron (Fe) were able to influence antioxidant activity and total phenol content (TPC) of geranium. Thus, three levels of Fe (0, 20 and 40 µM) and three levels of AsA (0, 1 and 2 mM) in nutrient solution were c...
