Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of Salacia Macrosperma Leaf Extracts
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study experiments were carried out to determine the total phenolic content and their comparative antioxidant activities in relation to phenol content employing Folin-ciocalteu, DPPH, and ABTS assays of the different solvent extracts of the plant S. macrosperma. It was found that on an average, the plant extract with higher levels of phenol content had higher antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activities were found to be highest and lowest at methenolic and hexane extracts, respectively in both the assays. At 1mg/ml concentration, DPPH and ABTS assays showed highest activity in the methanol extract of 84 and 99% respectively. The presence of phenolic compounds was confirmed by HPLC.
