Antioxidant property of Phomopsis amygdali culture filtrate extracted with ethanol, was evaluated in vitro. ABTS and DPPH radicals were used to evaluate their antioxidant activity. Antioxidant components like total phenol and flavonoid were also determined. The ethanolic extract of Phomopsis amygdali showed potent antioxidant activity against both ABTS and DPPH radicals with the EC50 value of 5...

The total phenolic content and related total antioxidant capacity of 70 medicinal plant infusions was analyzed. Infusions were prepared in common way in which teas are prepared for human consumption. The total phenolics were measured by Folin–Ciocalteau assay. The total antioxidant capacity was estimated by Ferric Reducing/Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay. To make practical comparison of relative...

This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of various plant extracts. A total of 94 kinds of edible plant extracts obtained from the Korea Plant Extract Bank were screened for cytotoxicity, following which the total phenolic content of 24 shortlisted extracts was determined. Of these, extracts from three plants, namely, Castanea crenata (CC) leaf, Camellia japonica (CJ) fruit, and Vi...

Caesalpinia decapetala (Roth) Alston (Fabaceae) (CD) is used in folk medicine to prevent colds and treat bronchitis. This plant has antitumor and antioxidant activity. The antioxidant effects of an extract from Caesalpinia decapetala (Fabaceae) were assessed by storage of model food oil-in-water emulsions with analysis of primary and secondary oxidation products. The antioxidant capacity of the...

BACKGROUND There is an interest in finding new and safe antioxidants from natural sources such as medicinal plants. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of ten Iranian medicinal plants extracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS For antioxidant activity, the radical scavenging activity, reducing power and phenolic contents of ethanol plant extracts were determined. ...

As part of an International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) program to study Jordan's biodiversity, the relative levels of antioxidant activity and the total phenolic content of aqueous and methanolic extracts of a total of 95 plant species, all of Jordanian origin and those collected at random, have been measured. The total phenolic content of aqueous and methanolic extracts of the inve...

Costus speciosus (Koen) J.E. Sm. plant and its extracts are used for treatment of fever, snake bites, jaundice, and as a purgative, astringent and antibacterial agent. In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity of different extracts of this plant by DPPH radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant capacity, nitric oxide scavenging activity, ion c...

s The present study is an endeavour to evaluate anti inflammatory and antioxidant activities of ehtanolic extract of steam bark of Zanthoxylum armatum. In vivo anti inflammatory activity was evaluated in wistar species of rats by using carrageenin induced paw edema, where as in vitro antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH free radical method. The plant extract exhibited significant anti-inf...
