The present study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant potential, total flavonoid and phenolic content in extracts of aerial parts of Cordia retua (Vahl.) Masam. The samples such as ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts were tested using six in vitro models such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, nitric oxide radical, iron chelating, hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical scavenging activit...

The antioxidant activities based on the free radical scavenging, reducing power, and bleaching inhibition were investigated for the three commonly used honeys in Malaysia, namely, tualang, gelam, and acacia honey. The antioxidant capacity of the honey samples was correlated with their biochemical constituents such as total phenol, total flavonoid content, and total water-soluble vitamins (vitam...

Antioxidant activity was evaluated in six Indian cultivars of lentil (Lens culanaris L.) viz. L-4076, L-4594, L-4147, DPL 15, DPL 62, and IPL 406. Three solvents, 70% ethanol, 100% methanol and 80% acetone, were used for preparation of seed extract. The seed extract was tested for total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity by FRAP assay. The results showed that val...

Objective: The aim of the present work was to assess the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and total alkaloid content (TAC) of crude hydro-methanolic seed extract of Abrus precatorius L. which is one of the beautiful seed bearing plant belonging to family Fabaceae and used extensively in many Ayurvedic preparations with significant therapeutic significance. Methods: T...

This study was designed in order to correlate the flavonoid and lipoidal matters content of Spinach roots and flowers to their hypolipidemic potential. The total flavonoid content was measured via complexation with aluminum chloride while determination of fatty acids methyl esters and unsaponifiable matters in both organs was performed using GC/MS. In an in-vitro study, the crude ethanol extrac...
