Total Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Properties of Taraxacum officinale Extracts Obtained with Different Solvents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total phenolic content and antioxidative properties of Taraxacum officinale leaves and flowers extract was studied. Extracts was made with different solvents: classical organic and surfactant solutions. The results showed that all examined extracts contain some polyphenols and have antioxidant potential against DPPH radical and reducing power (Fe3+ Fe2+). Leaf extracts made with organic solvents had the highest content of phenolic compounds and radical scavenging potential. Surfactant assisted extraction gave extracts with similar phenolic content and good antioxidative properties. Data from this study suggest that the investigated properties of T. officinale depend on solvent system used to extraction.
