abstract

a vast majority of the studies addressing the free radicals including hydroxyl radical is a damage compound of biochemical molecules such as dna, proteins and lipids. when free radicals specially hydroxyl radical are not adequately removed from the body, it may damage biological macromolecules, leading to a variety of disease occurs. therefore, the body should be protected by an enzymatic or non-enzymatic antioxidant defense system against free radicals. in order to explore the hypothesis that antioxidant plants can serve as therapeutic agents for diseases, the effect of barberry fruit extracts was studied in an in vitro model. by evaluating their scavenging potential. barberry fruits were collected from babol, iran and certified by the local scientist mazandaran province, iran. the barberry fruits were cleaned and dried at room temperature while keeping away from direct sunlight and then powdered. suitable amounts of dried plant were coarsely grounded and used for extraction. the dry plant samples were extracted with water and/or ethanol. 10 g of barberry fruits extracts powder was percolated by water for 24 hours. the extract was filtered and concentrated. hydroxyl radical was produced as described previously. then, barberry fruits hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity was determined using deoxyribose degradation system, followed spectrophotometrically at 532 nm. as expected ,our data indicate that the level of hydroxyl radical generation in with aqueous and /or ethanol extracts of barberry fruit was decreased in comparison without barberry fruit extract in vitro system [(6.11±0.83, 5.28 ±1.44, mmol/ml) vs. (9.32±0.38, mmol/ml)], p< 0.05, respectively. indeed, our results revealed that the extracts of the barberry fruit scavenge hydroxyl radical in vitro sample as compared to the controls. the barberry fruit extracts proved to be an effective for hydroxyl radical scavenging. the present data revealed that beneficial effect of barberry fruit aqueous and ethanol extracts may be due to its free radical scavenging potential. it may therefore be interesting that he barberry fruit extracts has the unique capacity to quench free radicals.

Effect of extraction conditions on antioxidant activity of barberry (berberis vulgaris L.) fruit extracts

Barberry fruit is consumed in different forms including dried fruit, juice, jam and marmalade in Iran. This fruit is also used as a food additive (flavoring and colorant) in soup and rice dishes. In present study, antioxidant activities of acetone, ethanol and water (infusion and decoction) extracts of barberry (Berberis vulgaris) fruit were investigated using 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzo...

Antioxidant Activity of Mulberry Fruit Extracts

Phenolic compounds were extracted from the fruits of Morus nigra and Morus alba using methanol and acetone. The sugar-free extracts (SFEs) were prepared using Amberlite XAD-16 column chromatography. All of the SFEs exhibited antioxidant potential as determined by ABTS (0.75-1.25 mmol Trolox/g), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) (EC(50) from 48 μg/mL to 79 μg/mL), and reducing power assays. H...

Antioxidant properties of palm fruit extracts.

Phenolic compounds have been shown to exhibit bioactive properties, and in particular antioxidant effects. A phenolic-rich fraction has been isolated from the aqueous by-product obtained during the milling of oil palm fruits. The objectives of the study were to determine the phenolic content of the crude and ethanolic extracts of oil palm fruits and to evaluate the antioxidant properties of the...

Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of Barberry Fruits Extracts Using Maceration and Subcritical Water Extraction (SWE)

The quality and shelf life of foods of containing lipids (fats and oils) significantly reduces due to rancidity.Applications of natural antioxidants are one of the most effective manners to prevent the oxidation of oils and lipids. The antioxidant properties of juice extracted from barberry fruit (Berberris vulgaris.L) using maceration and SWE (10 bars and 120 180°C) methods were investigated a...
