abstract

clinical and epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and other related disorders. these beneficial health effects have been attributed in part to the presence of antioxidants in dietary plants. therefore screening for antioxidant properties of plant extracts has been one of the interests of scientists in this field.    different screening methods have been reported for the evaluation of antioxidant properties of plant extracts in the literature. in the present research a rapid screening method has been introduced based on cyclic voltammetry for antioxidant screening of some selected medicinal plant extracts.    cyclic voltammetry of methanolic extracts of seven medicinal plants: buxus hyrcana, rumex crispus, achillea millefolium, zataria multiflora, ginkgo biloba, lippia citriodora and heptaptera anisoptera was carried out at different scan rates.    based on the interpretation of voltammograms, rumex crispus, achillea millefolium and ginkgo biloba showed higher antioxidant capability than the others while lippia citriodora contained the highest amount of antioxidants.    cyclic voltammetry is expected to be a simple method for screening antioxidants and estimating the antioxidant activity of foods and medicinal plants.

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

Some Selected Medicinal Plants with Antidiabetic Potentials

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by hyperglycemia associat‐ ed with impairment in insulin secretion and/or insulin action as well as aberrations in intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Several reports indicate that annual incidence rate of diabetes mellitus will increase in the future worldwide, especial‐ ly in the developing countries [1...

Estimation of Phytochemical Content and Antioxidant Activity of Some Selected Traditional Indian Medicinal Plants

The powder samples and methanol extract of 11 medicinal plants were subjected to analysis of proximate composition and measurement of antioxidant activity. Different parameters studied include phenolic contents, moisture, ash, crude fiber, fats and waxes. The assays employed were ferric reducing antioxidant power, trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity and scavenging effect on the 1,1-diphenyl-...
