Citrus sulcata was subjected to ultrasound, high-pressure, and Soxhlet extractions. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the extracts were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. The antioxidant content of the peel extract was twice that of the fruit extract. The quantitative analysis showed that the narirutin and hesperidin contents in the peel extracts were 8.8 and 7.5 mg/100 g, respectively. These extracts had a total phenolic content of 112.22 ± 2.89 gallic acid equivalent (GAE) mg/100 g, a total flavonoid content of 54.09 ± 1.01 rutin equivalent (RE) mg/100 g, DPPH radical scavenging activity of 46%, and antioxidant activity of 213.25 ± 2.82 μM of Trolox equivalents (TEAC). C. sulcata extracts could prevent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress, reduce expression of the inflammatory markers nuclear Factor kappa B (NFκB) and phosphorylated IκBα (p-IκBα) in A549 human lung carcinoma cells, and inhibit Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced THP-1 monocyte differentiation to an extent of 85%. 相似文献

Aqueous extract, proanthocyanidin rich extract, and organic extracts of Cymbopogon schoenanthus L. Spreng (lemon grass) shoots from three different locations in South Tunisia were screened for their antioxidant, acetylcholinesterase and antimicrobial activities. In addition to the evaluation of these activities, the contents of flavonoids and total phenolic compounds were determined.Antioxidant activity measured by DPPH assay showed that the proanthocyanidin extract exhibited higher antioxidant activity than the aqueous extract. Extract concentration providing 50% inhibition (IC50) ranged from 16.4 ± 6.8 μg/mL to 26.4 ± 6.8 μg/mL. The antioxidant activity was also determined using the β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching test. The best results (IC50 = 0.11 ± 0.10 mg/mL) were obtained with the proanthocyanidin extract of the plants collected from the desert region (Dhibat).The greatest acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.23 ± 0.04 mg/mL) was exhibited by the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the plants collected from the mountainous region. It seems that extracts obtained with more polar solvents gave better results.The proanthocyanidin extracts showed a good antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus sobrinus at low concentration (MIC = 4 mg/mL). Therefore, these extracts could be used to prevent carious lesions by inhibiting S. sobrinus growth. 相似文献

Freeze-dried fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds and bitter melon (Momordica charantia) fruit were extracted sequentially using non-polar to polar solvents, with further separation carried out on polar extracts by molecular weight cut off dialysis. The fenugreek ethyl acetate crude extract (FGE3) demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity, in terms of Trolox Equivalents (TE), for both the DPPH (35.338 ± 0.908 mg TE/g) and FRAP (77.352 ± 0.627 mg TE/g) assays. This extract also contained the highest phenolic content, in terms of Gallic Acid Equivalents (GAE) (106.316 ± 0.377 mg GAE/g). Despite having considerably lower antioxidant activity than fenugreek, the highest antioxidant activities for bitter fruit were observed in the hexane (BME1) and methanol hydrophilic < 3.5 kDa dialysed (BME4 < 3.5 kDa) extracts, while the highest phenolic content was found in the methanol hydrophilic > 3.5 kDa (BME4 > 3.5 kDa) dialysed extract. UPLC-MS was used to quantify 18 phenolic compounds from fenugreek and 13 from bitter melon in active crude extracts. The flavonoids apigenin-7-O-glycoside (1955.55 ng/mg) and luteolin-7-O-glycoside (725.50 ng/mg) were the most abundant compounds in FGE3, while bitter melon extracts contained only small amounts of mainly phenolic acids. A further 5 fenugreek and 1 bitter melon compounds were identified in trace amounts from the same extracts, respectively. 相似文献

Total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (AOA) of 50% aqueous methanol extracts of the marine algae, Padina antillarum, Caulerpa racemosa and Kappaphycus alvarezzi were studied. TPC was measured using Folin-Ciocalteu method while 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), ferrous ion chelating (FIC) assay and beta carotene bleaching (BCB) assay were used to study their AOA. P. antillarum was found to have the highest TPC, 2430±208 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per 100 g dried sample and ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AEAC), 1140±85 mg AA/100 g. C. racemosa and K. alvarezzi displayed lower TPC and AEAC. C. racemosa had 144±22 mg GAE/100 g dried sample of TPC and 14.3±2.0 mg AA/100 g of AEAC, while K. alvarezzi had 115±35 mg/100 g dried sample of TPC and 37.8±16.8 mg AA/100 g of AEAC. In addition, P. antillarum displayed the highest reducing power, 15.7±2.6 mg GAE/g and highest chelating ability. C. racemosa and K. alvarezzi exhibited lower reducing power, 0.737±0.423 mg GAE/g and 0.561±0.269 mg GAE/g, and lower chelating ability. However, the AOA of these three seaweeds as assessed by BCB assay were equally high. 相似文献

Determination of total phenolic (TPC), flavonoid and anthocyanin contents, and various antioxidant activities (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging, ferric reducing power, ferrous ion chelating and lipid peroxidation inhibition) of leaves and flowers of Bauhinia kockiana, Caesalpinia pulcherrima and Cassia surattensis were performed in this study. The B. kockiana flower was found to possess the highest TPC (8280 ± 498 mg GAE/100 g), free radical scavenging activity (ascorbic acid equivalents 14,600 ± 2360 mg AA/100 g) and reducing ability (72.4 ± 8.7 mg GAE/g). Rutin and chlorogenic acid were detected in the plants, where the C. pulcherrima leaf contained the highest amount of rutin (669 ± 26 mg/100 g), while minute amounts of chlorogenic acid were detected in C. surattensis leaf (9.13 ± 0.44 mg/100 g). The C. pulcherrima leaf displayed the highest ferrous ion chelating and lipid peroxidation inhibition activities. Positive correlation was observed between TPC and various antioxidant activities. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to determine phenolic content and antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from different parts of cantaloupe (leaf, stem, skin, seed and flesh). The flesh extract afforded the highest yield (89.6 ± 0.3%) whilst the lowest yield was obtained from the seed (13.7 ± 0.5%) (p < 0.05). The leaf extract showed the highest total phenolic content (26.4 ± 0.3 mg GAE/g extract) and total flavonoid content (69.7 ± 3.37 μg RE/g extract) accompanied with best antioxidant activity through all antioxidant assays (p < 0.05). In addition, the stem extract also exhibited good antioxidant activity. Thus, these results suggest that methanolic extracts of cantaloupe leaf and stem may serve as a potential source of natural antioxidant for food and nutraceutical application. 相似文献

In this study, determination of phenolic acids as well as investigation of antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from the fruits and leaves of Chenopodium album is described. Extracts were subjected to acidic hydrolysis in order to obtain total free phenolic acids. However, some of phenolic acids were identified and quantified by HPLC-DAD. The results were confirmed by LC-MS equipped with MS-ESI. In addition, Folin–Ciocalteu method was applied to determine the total phenolic contents. The antioxidant activity of C. album extracts was examined by using DPPH and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity assays. Results revealed that the leaves extract exhibits better performance in antioxidant assays and in the higher total phenolic contents (3066 mg of GAE/100 g) when compared to fruits extract (1385 mg of GAE/100 g). From these results it has been revealed that the methanolic extracts of C. album from fruits and leaves have great potential as a source for natural health products. 相似文献

Sour prickly pears (xoconostles) are fruits from Opuntia joconostle cactus, which are cultivated in the central Mexico area. Phenolic and pigment content in various parts of O. joconostle fruits were analyzed. The antioxidant activity of a methanolic extraction and different semi-purified fractions were also evaluated by the DPPH+ method. Xoconostle fruits were obtained from a commercial orchard in Mexico State. Fruits were analyzed as whole fruit and each fruit part including pericarp, mesocarp and endocarp. Samples were homogenized and kept at 4 °C until sample preparation. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid content varied among the different parts of the fruit. The highest amount of phenolic compounds and total flavonoids content were found in pericarp 2.07 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g fresh weight (FW) and 0.46 mg(+)-catechin equivalents (CE)/g FW respectively. Seven phenolics were identified as protocatechuic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, caffeic, vanillic and syringic acids, rutin, and quercetin. The color of the fruit parts was mainly due to the presence of betacyanins. The betacyanin concentration was higher in the endocarp (23.03 mg betanin equivalents/100 g fresh weight) than in the pericarp and mesocarp. Betacyanins were identified by HPLC-PDA-MS as betanin, isobetanin, betanidin, isobetanidin, and phyllocactin. Methanolic extracts and semi-purified fractions A (phenolics and flavonols) and B (betacyanins) of xoconostle showed high antioxidant activity mainly in the pericarp. These results suggest that xoconostle is a rich source of antioxidant compounds such as phenolic compounds and betacyanins. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to use different assays to evaluate the antioxidant and vasodilatory properties of three typical food products from the Mediterranean area and to correlate these activities with their phenolic content. For this purpose, red wines Cannonau, liqueurs obtained by cold maceration of myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) berries and bitter honeys obtained from strawberry-tree flowers (Arbutus unedo L.) were analysed. The total phenolic (TP) content was measured spectrophotometrically with a modified Folin–Ciocalteau method and phenolic compounds were identified and dosed by HPLC-DAD and LC-MS/MS. Antioxidant activities were evaluated with DPPH, FRAP and ABTS assays and the in vitro vasodilatory effects were assessed using norepinephrine precontracted rat aortic rings. Cannonau wines and myrtle liqueurs showed high levels of TP (1978 ± 279 and 1741 ± 150 mg GAE/L, respectively), linearly correlated to the results of FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH assays. Their maximal vasodilatory activity was 61.7 ± 4.1% and 53.0 ± 3.0%, respectively. Although strawberry-tree honey contained relatively high levels of phenolic compounds (922 ± 38 mg GAE/kg), it did not induce vasodilation, even at the highest dose tested (0.206 g/L). These results indicate that foods with high levels of phenolic compounds should be studied using several different biological assays before being recommended to the general public as functional foods. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of cultivated fruiting bodies of an endophytic Xylaria sp. (strain number YX-28), from Ginkgo biloba. The results indicated that the methanol extract exhibited strong antioxidant capacity in both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) analysis and β-carotene–linoleic acid model system. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents extracted by different solvents were determined using Folin–Ciocalteu procedure and the flavonoid–aluminium method. The results showed that total phenolic and flavonoid contents were the highest in methanol extract (54.51 ± 1.05 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight and 86.76 ± 0.58 mg rutin equivalent/g dry weight), while the hexane extract was the lowest (9.71 ± 0.57 mg GAE/g dw and 10.14 ± 0.76 mg RE/g dw, respectively). The correlation coefficients from regression analysis showed a positive relationship between total phenolic content in the extracts and DPPH activity (R2 = 0.7336), as well as between total flavonoid content and DPPH activity (R2 = 0.9392). Furthermore, GC/MS method was used to confirm the presence of phenolics with antioxidant activity in the methanol extract and resulted in the identification of 41 compounds, esters, phenolics, alkanes, carboxylates and alcohols being the main components. In conclusion, cultivated fruiting bodies of Xylaria sp.YX-28 may have potential as natural antioxidant. 相似文献

This study was designed to evaluate both the antioxidant and free-radical scavenging activities of extract and fractions from corn silk. N-butanol fraction (BF) demonstrated the highest total phenolic content (164.1 ± 9.7 μg GAE/g DCS) and total flavonoids content (69.4 ± 5.1 μg RE/g DCS), accompanied with the highest antioxidant activity compared to other fractions through all antioxidant assays. Two flavone glycosides showing potent antioxidant activity were isolated from BF and identified, by comparing spectral data (UV, FAB-MS and NMR) with literature values, to be isoorientin-2″-O-α-l-rhamnoside and 3′-methoxymaysin. The two isolated flavone glycosides, particularly isoorientin-2″-O-α-l-rhamnoside, demonstrated significant total antioxidant activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power and iron-chelating capacity, with EC50 values of 14.24 ± 1.49, 22.69 ± 2.33, 6.58 ± 1.07 and 30.25 ± 3.05 μg/ml, respectively. Results obtained indicated that corn silk extracts can be used potentially as a ready accessible and valuable bioactive source of natural antioxidants. 相似文献

Dorystoechas hastata (D. hastata) is a monotypic plant endemic to Antalya province of Turkey. D. hastata leaves are used to make a tea locally called “çalba tea”. Diethyl ether (E), ethanol (A), and water (W) were used for the sequential preparation of extracts from dried D. hastata leaves. A hot water extract (S) was also prepared by directly boiling the powdered plant in water. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were tested by ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging methods. E extract exhibited the greatest antioxidant activity with FTC method, whereas S extract exhibited the lowest IC50 value (6.17 ± 0.53 μg/ml) for DPPH radical scavenging activity. Total phenolic contents of the extracts were estimated by Folin–Ciocalteu method and S extract was found to contain the highest amount (554.17 ± 20.83 mg GAE/g extract) of phenolics. Extract A contained highest flavonoid content and there was a inverse linear correlation (R2 = 0.926) between IC50 values for DPPH radical scavenging activity and flavonoid contents of all extracts. Reducing power of extracts increased in a concentration-dependent manner. S extract was found to possess higher reducing power than equivalent amount of ascorbic acid at 20 and 25 μg/ml concentrations. Linear correlation between reducing power and concentration of E, A, and W extracts (R2 > 0.95) was observed. A, W, and S extracts contained relatively high levels of proline. The results presented suggest that D. hastata may provide a natural source of antioxidants and proline. 相似文献

Leaves, bark and catkins of Salix aegyptiaca L. were extracted into solvents of increasing polarity from cyclohexane (non-polar), butanol, ethanol and water (polar) and analysed for their antioxidant capacity, total phenol and flavonoids. The highest antioxidant activity (19 μg/ml IC50 for inhibition of DPPH radical activity), total phenolic content (212 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of dried extract) and total flavonoid (479 mg catechin equivalents/g of dried extract) was observed in the ethanolic extract of bark. HPLC identification of phenolic compounds from the extracts indicated the presence of gallic acid, caffeic acid, vanillin and p-coumaric acid, myricetin, catechin, epigallocatechin gallate, rutin, quercetin as well as salicin. Our data indicates the presence of high amounts of phenols and flavonoids in different parts of S. aegyptiaca species and propose that extracts from this plant may be utilised as a source of health promoting antioxidants. 相似文献

The total phenolic content and radical scavenging activities of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) leaves were investigated. Results indicated that the ethyl acetate fraction contained the highest total phenolic content (266.69 ± 2.51 mg GAE/g dry extract) accompanied with strongest free radical scavenging abilities. Following an in vitro radical scavenging activity-guide fractionation procedure, six phenolic compounds which strongly quenched free radicals were separated from ethyl acetate fraction. Among them, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid and 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid played a dominant role due to their strong free radical scavenging abilities and their high contents. The content of 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid in n-butanol fraction was 74.58 ± 1.05 mg/g, while 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid in ethyl acetate fraction was 104.51 ± 2.86 mg/g. The results imply that the leaves of Jerusalem artichoke might be a potential source of natural antioxidants. 相似文献

The aim of this work is to examine the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of separated essential oils and different solvent extracts of Thymus praecox subsp. skorpilii var. skorpilii (TPS). The ethanol, acetone, methanol, hexane, aqueous extracts and separated essential oils of TPS were assessed for their antioxidant activities. Antioxidant activities were evaluated by reduction of Mo(VI) to Mo(V), reducing power, superoxide scavenging activity, free radical-scavenging activity, metal chelating activity, linoleic acid peroxidation, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity and peroxide scavenging activity. Essential oils were characterized in total to be 41 components, whereas 9 components were isolated by column chromatography for antioxidant activity. TPS essential oil was found to contain thymol (40.31%) and o-cymene (13.66%) as the major components. The ethanol, methanol and water extracts exerted significant free radical-scavenging activity. The methanol and water extracts displayed highest superoxide scavenging activity. The water extract has the highest total phenolics (6.211 mg gallic acid (GAE)/g DW) and flavonoids (0.809 mg quercetin/g DW). 相似文献

Total polyphenols, flavonoids and antioxidant power of raw honey samples from two of the most common Italian varieties, i.e., Millefiori and Acacia, were evaluated. Phenolic content, expressed as caffeic acid equivalents, ranged from 12.5 to 17.5 mg/100 g and from 3 to 11 mg/100 g in Millefiori and Acacia honeys, respectively. All Millefiori samples exhibited the highest flavonoid concentration being between 1.23 and 2.93 mg catechin equivalents (CE)/100 g honey. Total flavonoids in 100 g Acacia honeys were in the range of 0.45–1.01 mg CE. Acacia honeys had lower total antioxidant power, as assessed by ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay, than Millefiori. The relationship between phenolic content and antioxidant power was discussed. Comparative experimental analysis was performed with an artificial honey and processed honeys. Raw Millefiori honey is rich in both amount and variety of antioxidant substances, and its inclusion in the diet may be recommended to complement other polyphenol sources. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant potency and total phenolic and flavonoid contents of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) in vitro by analysing the radical scavenging activity of lyophilised water extract from kiwifruit (LEK) for 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DMPD), and superoxide anion radical (O2−) as well as the total reducing power by FRAP and CUPRAC assays and the metal chelating activities. LEK showed efficient radical scavenging activity with DPPH, ABTS, DMPD, and O2− radicals; ferric (Fe3+) and cupric (Cu2+) ion reducing power and metal chelating activities. Moreover, the amounts of phenolic compounds, such as caffeic acid, ferulic acid, syringic acid, ellagic acid, catechol, pyrogallol, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, vanillin, p-coumaric acid, gallic acid, quercetin, ??-tocopherol and ascorbic acid, in LEK were quantified by LC-MS-MS. The results show that pyrogallol (2070.0 mg/kg LEK) is the main phenolic compound responsible for the antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of LEK. Finally, total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined as gallic acid (GAE) and quercetin equivalents (QE). The GAE and QE values in LEK were 16.67 ± 2.83 ??g GAE/mg and 12.95 ± 0.52 ??g QE/mg, respectively. The results suggest that consumption of kiwifruit (A. deliciosa) can be beneficial effects due to its antioxidant properties. 相似文献

Methanolic extracts of six cultivars of Portulaca oleracea were analyzed for their total phenol content (TPC) using the Folin–Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant activity was measured using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and β-carotene bleaching (BCB) assays. The iodine titration method was used to determine the ascorbic acid content (AAC). The TPC of the cultivars of P. oleracea ranged from 127 ± 13 to 478 ± 45 mg GAE/100 g of fresh weight of plant. There was good correlation between the TPC value and its AEAC, IC50 and FRAP values (r2 > 0.9) for all the cultivars. The AAC for the cultivars ranged from 38.5 ± 0.6 to 73.0 ± 17.5 mg/100 g. The TPC value of the common variety PO1, was the lowest compared to the ornamental cultivars (PO2–PO6). The BCB assay showed that all cultivars were capable of inhibiting lipid peroxidation and the inhibition power did not correlate with TPC value. 相似文献

Phytochemical compounds in fruits and vegetables have gained great importance in the last few years because of the increasing evidence suggesting their antioxidant and prevention of chronic diseases. Carotenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, and vitamins E and C, are among these phytochemicals. Several fruits have been characterized so far for their antioxidant and health properties but there is still limited information on fruits from the tropic. Therefore, the objective of this study was the characterization of mamey fruit (Pouteria sapota Jacq. H. E. Moore & Stearn) with regard to their antioxidant capacity and phytochemical profile. Phenolics, carotenoids and ??-tocopherol were quantified and identified by HPLC-DAD-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), and DPPH and FRAP assays were used to evaluate antioxidant capacity. Hydrophilic extracts of mamey fruit showed higher antioxidant capacity than the lipophilic portion. Total soluble phenols content was 28.5 mg GAE/100 g fw, being p-hydroxybenzoic acid as the main phenolic that was identified. Total carotenoid content was 1127.9 ??g ??-carotene/100 g fw with ??-carotene being the main contributor, in addition to lutein, and violoxanthin. Concentration of ??-tocopherol was 360.0 ??g/100 g fw. Results of this study suggest that mamey fruit is a good source of carotenoids and its inclusion in the diet is recommended. 相似文献

Phenol content and antioxidant activity of two Spanish onion varieties, namely white onion and Calçot de Valls, have been studied. White onions contained higher phenol content than Calçot onions, with values which ranged from 2.57 ± 0.51 to 6.53 ± 0.16 mg gallic acid equivalents/g dry weight (GAE/g DW) and 0.51 ± 0.22 to 2.58 ± 0.16 mg GAE/g DW, respectively, depending on the solvent used. Higher phenol content was associated with higher antioxidant capacity. White onion extracts had the highest antioxidant activity at 86.6 ± 2.97 and 29.9 ± 2.49 μmol Trolox/g DW for TEAC and FRAP assays, respectively, while the values for the Calçot variety were 17.5 ± 0.46 and 16.1 ± 0.10 μmol Trolox/g DW. 相似文献
