Seasonal discrepancy in the antioxidant potential from bark of Nothapodytes nimmoniana was evaluated using two different methods (DPPH and FRAP) and were related to total phenolic content as well as flavonoid content. Higher yield of phenolic and flavonoid were observed during summer (May) similarly, the antioxidant activities (DPPH & FRAP) also were high. The antioxidant activities were strong...

This study compared the total flavonoid content of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. leaf and root extracts. Results suggested that the total flavonoid content in the leaf extract was obviously higher than that in the root extract. Pinocembrin, the main compound in the leaf extract after purification by column chromatography, showed good antioxidant activity and nitrite scavenging capacity, but moderate in...

In this present study, an environmentally friendly and rapid method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) has been reported using Ziziphus Vulgaris (ZV) unripe fruit extract under mild conditions. The synthesized silver nanoparticles have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultravio...

Two phenolic compound parameters (total phenolic and flavonoid contents) and 5 antioxidant parameters (DPPH [2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl] radical scavenging activity, HRSC (hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity), FRAP (ferric ion reducing antioxidant power), CUPRAC (cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity), and MCA (metal chelating activity) were measured in bulbs and bolts of 43 garlic cult...

In this study, in vitro antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and concentration of flavonoids of five different extracts, from the whole herb of Marrubium peregrinum L. (Lamiaceae) were determined using spectrophotometric methods. Antioxidant activity of extracts were expressed as percentage of DPPH radicals inhibition and IC50 values (μg/ml). Values in percentage ranged from 27.26 to 89...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND This study aims to determine the relationship between the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the thirteen herbs and two fungi extracts, and their total phenolic and flavonoid contents. METHODS Antioxidant activities were evaluated by four assays: an antioxidant activity assay using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a DPPH ((2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay t...

Propolis has been proposed as a polyphenolic-rich natural product potentially able to be used for human consumption or even for medicinal proposes. To guarantee a minimum phenolic and flavonoid content and as consequence of their related-biological activities, international requirements of propolis quality are commonly applied. In this work we assessed phenolic and flavonoid contents of propoli...

Ziziphus mauritiana is a plant species belonging to the Rhamnaceae family. It commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Indonesia, this grows wild thrives on islands Bali, Lombok Sumbawa. The fruits Z. are edible, however, it underutilized has very low economic value. To evaluate its possibility be developed as functional food, study was conducted determine total phenolics fla...
