Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) was used to extract total alkaloids, peimisine, peimine and peiminine from the bulb of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. The antioxidant capacity of the extracts was evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity (DPPH-RSA), ABTS radical scavenging activity (ABTS-RSA) and ferric reducing capacity (FRAP) assay. A central composite design (CCD) with four variables an...

Garcinia xanthochymus has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for expelling worms and removing food toxins. Bioassay-guided fractionation of an EtOAc-soluble extract of G. xanthochymus stem bark led to the isolation of six new xanthones. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, especially 2D-NMR techniques. Free-radical-scavenging activities of the isolated compou...

This study reports the essential oil composition and antioxidant activity of the essential oil extract of aerial parts of Achillea Wilhelmsii. GC/MS analysis identified thirty compounds representing 94.48% of the oil. The main components comprising 86.99% of the oil were α-thujene (6.11%), α-pinene (5.11%), sabinene (5.23%), p-cymene (7%), 1,8-cineole (6%), linalool(10%), camphor (8.43%), thymo...

Materials Method: different polar solvents such as petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, water were used extraction was carried out using soxhlet apparatus. extrac...

Accepted: 08/06/2014 Abstract Six variety of betel leaf from different domain of India were extracted using five solvents in order to determine the effect of solvent and changing variety on total phenol content and antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, PCL (Photochemluminiscence) assay. However 80% methanol for TPC, 80% ethanol followed by 80% methano...

This study investigated the antioxidant activity of functional beverage concentrates containing herbal medicine extracts (FBCH) using various antioxidant assays, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, and reducing power assay. The total polyphenolic content of FBCH (81.45...
