the present study was carried out to determine the free radical scavenging properties of some plants, found in malaysia. the air-dried leaves of each plant (20 g) were soaked in distilled water (1:20; w/v) for 72 h at room temperature. collected supernatants were tested for free radical scavenging activity against the dpph and superoxide anion radical scavenging assays. all extracts were found ...

Salvia genus is one of the largest genera of the Lamiaceae family. Its species have been used for a wide variety of disorders in the local traditional medicine systems. Therefore, the genus has been the subject of several phytochemical and biological studies. The aim of the study was to identify the major antioxidant compound(s) from the methanol extract of Salvia verticillata using activity-gu...

objectives: potato (solanum tuberosum l.), as a whole food, contains high levels of vitamins and important antioxidants including phenolic acids, carotenoids and flavonoids. the objective of this study was to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of three common potatoes (solanum tuberosum) cultivars in iran i.e., savalan, agria and sante. materials and methods: phenol...

the effect of different solvent systems on the extraction of antioxidant and anti radical agents of grape seed was studied. for this purpose 6 different solvent systems with similar polarity and different selectivity were used to prepare grape seed extract. extraction efficiency, reducing activity, radical scavenging property and the effect of each extract on the increase of thermal resistance ...

the crude methanolic extract of the seeds of celastrus paniculatus along with its organic soluble fractions were tested for their possible antioxidant and anti-alzheirmer (ad) activity. the extracts showed prominent dpph free radical scavenging activity, inhibiting activity of authentic peroxynitrite (onoo-) and inhibition of total reactive oxygen species (ros) generation. in dpph radical scave...

To evaluate the free radical scavenging activity of flavonoids containing extracts of Stevia leaf. Alcoholic. Successive butanolic and alcoholic extracts of leaves were examined for free radical scavenging activity using BHT (tert-butylhydroxytolune) as a positive control by in vitro models. Successive alcoholic extract showed remarkable free radical scavenging activity. The IC(50) was found to...

Argentine croaker (Umbrina canosai) and chicken (Gallus domesticus) bones were hydrolyzed with different proteases (Flavourzyme, "-Chymotrypsin and Trypsin) in order to obtain peptides whit antioxidant activity. The hydrolysates showed different degrees of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity. The antioxidant power of the hydrolysates was evaluated through inhibition of the peroxidation of linol...

        The crude methanolic extract of the seeds of Celastrus paniculatus along with its organic soluble fractions were tested for their possible antioxidant and anti-alzheirmer (AD) activity. The extracts showed prominent DPPH free radical scavenging activity, inhibiting activity of authentic peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and inhibition of total reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In D...

Amalakayas Rasayana (AR) is a polyherbal formulation mentioned in Ayurveda to treat aging and age-associated diseases. Being an antiaging drug, AR may have antioxidants and free radical scavenging activity to minimize free radical-induced damage which is a key cause of aging. The methanolic extract of AR was evaluated in vitro for total phenolic and tannin content, free radical scavenging activ...
