antioxidants are vital substances which possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radical induced oxidative stress. a variety of free radical scavenging antioxidants exist within the body which many of them are derived from dietary sources like fruits, vegetables and teas. in this study the antioxidant activity and radical scavenging activity of methanolic extracts of s...

This study was conducted to evaluate the increase of DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute by heating. The meat substitute showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than those of other foods rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken, and soybean curd. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute was dependent upon concentration, heating temperature and heating ti...

The aim of this work was to investigate the antioxidant property of honeybee products and their constituents using an ESR method. Antioxidative activity was evaluated as the scavenging activity of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. The DPPH radical scavenging activities, in descending order, were: ethanol extract of Chinese red propolis>ethanol extract of Brazilian green propolis>wat...

The methanol extract of the dried ripe fruits of Alpinia rafflesiana was investigated for its DPPH free radical scavenger constituents. 2',3',4',6'-Tetrahydroxychalcone (7), which has never been isolated from natural sources was found to be most active as a DPPH free radical scavenger with the IC50 value of 55 microM. Other known compounds isolated from this species include 5,6-dehydrokawain (1...

The reaction of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH) with active species of oxygen (hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, sodium peroxide, potassium superoxide, hydroxyl radical, tempo free radical, galvinoxyl free radical, Fremy’s salt, mchloroperbenzoic acid, potassium hydroxide, and sodium peroxynitrite) was reviewed and the new obtained results compa...

Radical Scavenging capacity Abstract: In-vitro antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Rhinacanthus nasutus leaves was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay and Reducing Power assays. Ascorbic acid was used as standard and positive control for both the analysis. All the analysis was made with the use of UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The methanolic extract of Rhinacanthus nasutu...

The demonstrated modified spectrophotometric method makes use of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and its specific absorbance properties. Theabsorbance decreases when the radical is reduced by antioxidants. In contrast to otherinvestigations, the absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 550 nm. This wavelengthenabled the measurements of the stable free DPPH radical without int...

reactions of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ros) with biological molecules in vivo play an important physiological role in many diseases. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) is a stable free radical and often used as a routine reagent to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant. this study was undertaken to investigate the free radical-scavenging and antioxidant activiti...

tion, stable radicals have the advantage that their concentrations are readily and directly measurable. Among them a stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was investigated as a reactive hydrogen acceptor and further found to be useful for the antioxidant determination. Since then DPPH has been mainly used to examine radical scavenging activity of antioxidative vitamins and po...

Hemp protein hydrolysates with various yields of trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptides (Ysp) and surface hydrophobicity (Ho) were obtained by Neutrase ® hydrolysis from hemp protein isolate (HPI). The peptide profiles, amino acid composition and antioxidant activities (DPPH radical scavenging ability, reducing power and Fe chelating ability) of the hydrolysates, obtained at 60–240 min, we...
