Polyphenols and anthocyanins were extracted from Kadsura coccinea fruit. The contents of total phenolics and anthocyanins, influences of pH and temperature on anthocyanins, and antioxidant activities of extracts were further analyzed. The results showed that the total phenolic content of peel extracts was superior to that of pulp extracts. The total anthocyanin content of peel extracts was 180 ± 2.91 mg/100 g of fresh peel tissues. K. coccinea anthocyanins were stable below pH 4, whilst high temperature and extended heating time induced their degradation. Metal-chelating capacity (MCC) assay indicated that no ortho-dihydroxy aromatic moiety existed in the B-ring of the anthocyanin molecules, but there might be a catechol group in the B-ring of the polyphenol molecules. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity and reducing power of extracts decreased in the following order: peel polyphenol extracts > anthocyanin extracts > pulp polyphenol extracts. It would be worthwhile to introduce this rare fruit into more countries.  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

Total phenolic content, proanthocyanidins, gallotannins, flavonoids, and antioxidant activities of Sclerocarya birrea and Harpephyllum caffrum methanolic extracts were evaluated using in vitro assays. S. birrea young stem extract contained the highest levels of total phenolic content (14.15 ± 0.03 mg GAE/g), flavonoids (1.21 ± 0.01 mg CE/g) and gallotannins (0.24 ± 0.00 mg GAE/g). H. caffrum stem bark extract had the highest content of proanthocyanidins (1.47%). The EC50 values of the extracts in the DPPH free radical scavenging assay ranged from 4.26 to 6.92 μg/ml, compared to 6.86 μg/ml for ascorbic acid. A dose-dependent linear curve was obtained for all extracts in the ferric-reducing power assay. Dichloromethane and methanol extracts exhibited dose-dependent acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Similarly, all extracts exhibited high antioxidant activity comparable to butylated hydroxytoluene based on the rate of β-carotene bleaching (84.1–93.9%). The two Anacardiaceae species provide a source of natural antioxidants and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and may be beneficial to the health of consumers.  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

Carotenoids were isolated and identified from peel, pulp and seed fractions of Canarium odontophyllum Miq., and their antioxidant capacities were evaluated. all-trans-β-carotene was present in a large amount in peel (69.5 ± 1.0 mg/kg), followed by pulp (31.1 ± 0.76 mg/kg) and seed (15.1 ± 3.0 mg/kg). Additionally, 15-cis-β-carotene, 9-cis-β-carotene and 13-cis-β-carotenes were also major contributors to carotenoid contents in peel, pulp and seed fractions. Pulp exhibited excellent β-carotene bleaching activity, significantly higher than peel and seed; high 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity, whereas peel exhibited significantly higher scavenging activity of 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals. All the extracts exhibited good inhibitory effect against hydrogen peroxide-induced haemoglobin oxidation, ranging from 45.3 to 59.7%. This is the first report about carotenoids and antioxidant capacities from C. odontophyllum fruit, and indicates that this fruit can be explored and promoted as a potential source of natural antioxidants.  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

Ether, methanolic and aqueous extracts of lyophilized rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) peels and seeds were evaluated for phenolic contents, antioxidant and antibacterial activities. High amounts of phenolic compounds were found in the peel extracts and the highest content was in the methanolic fraction (542.2 mg/g dry extract). Several potential antioxidant activities, including reducing power, β-carotene bleaching, linoleic peroxidation and free radical scavenging activity, were evaluated. The peel extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity than the seed extracts in all methods determined (P < 0.05). The methanolic fraction was found to be the most active antioxidant as shown by their 50% DPPH inhibition concentration, 4.94 μg/mL. The results indicated this fraction exhibited greater DPPH radical scavenging activity than BHT and ascorbic acid (0.32 g dry extract/g BHT or ascorbic acid). Antibacterial activity against eight bacterial strains was assessed by disc diffusion and broth macrodilution methods. All peel extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against five pathogenic bacteria. The most sensitive strain, Staphylococcus epidermidis, was inhibited by the methanolic extract (MIC 2.0 mg/mL).  相似文献

The standardised ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Mangifera indica leaf were prepared and analysed for their free radicals scavenging activity. The IC50 values using the DPPH assay were 0.17 ± 0.02 and 0.49 ± 0.4 mg/ml, respectively. Standardised ethanolic extracts of the M. indica leaf had a solid content of 9.1 ± 0.7%, mangiferin concentration of 73 ± 0.17 mg/g of dry weight of the extract, free radical scavenging activity (IC50) of 0.17 ± 0.02 mg/ml and total phenolic content of 590 ± 48 mg/g of extract. The protection exhibited by these extracts against lipid peroxidation was superior to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and commercial grape seed extract. These extracts at higher concentration did not exhibit pro-oxidant activities when compared to vitamin C. Our findings also show that the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of M. indica leaf protect NIH/3T3 cells from oxidant-induced cell death.  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

Total phenolics content, free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and antioxidant activity of the pyroligenous acid from a mangrove plant, Rhizophora apiculata were evaluated. Dichloromethane extraction of the raw pyroligneous acid successfully yield 2 extracts, i.e. concentrated pyroligneous acid (CPA) and concentrated pyroligneous acid extract (CPAE). Phenolic contents in CPAE and CPA, expressed as (±)-catechin equivalents/g of the sample were 5465 ± 367 mg and 2502 ± 152 mg, and expressed as gallic acid equivalents/g of the sample were 2919 ± 209 mg and 1348 ± 90 mg, respectively. CPAE exhibited superior free radical scavenging activity with EC50 value = 0.1235 mg/ml, or 80.96% of free radical scavenging capability. The ferric reducing power of CPAE was approximately 3.7, 5.1, 6.1, and 21.3 times higher than that of ascorbic acid, BHA, BHT and alpha-tocopherol. In phosphomolybdenum assay, CPAE showed the greatest antioxidant efficacy (A695 = 1.278) compared to those of CPA and different standards. In addition, the free radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing power and total antioxidative activity of CPAE and CPA showed positive correlation with their total phenolic content with R2 values ranging from 0.9624 to 0.9979.  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

Gundelia tournefortii L. is an important food source and a well-known medicinal plant in Eastern Anatolia. Therapeutic effects of medicinal plants are known to be closely related to their antioxidant capacities. Antioxidant activities of G. tournefortii, both for the aerial parts and seeds, were investigated by using both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibition methods. The seeds were found to have higher antioxidant potential than the aerial, with IC50 values of 0.073 mg/mL for DPPH scavenging and 0.146 mg/mL for lipid peroxidation inhibition capacities. In addition, total phenolic contents of the Gundelia tournefortii L. extracts, especially the seed extracts correlates to its high antioxidant activity with 105.1 ± 8.7 μg gallic acid equivalents (GAEs) per mg of seed extract. Plant extracts with high phenolics content are known to have important effects on various enzymes, as well as glutathione-S-transferases, which are important detoxification enzymes in phase II systems with an important role in developing multi-drug resistance to chemotherapy in tumour cells. Consequently, the effects of G. tournefortii extracts on crude cytosolic glutathione-S-transferase was also studied and the seed extracts have shown effective inhibition of cytosolic GST activity, with an IC50 of 97.51 μg/mL.  相似文献

In vitro antioxidant activities and protective effects in stabilising sunflower oil of three rosemary extracts high in carnosic acid (CA) were tested. The CA contents (w/w) of the extracts were 24.9% (CA25), 60.5% (CA60) and 98.3% (CA98). Total phenolic contents of CA25 and CA60 were (3.58 ± 0.026 g/100 g) and (8.20 ± 0.027 g/100 g), (3.91 ± 0.029 g/100 g) and (8.10 ± 0.056 g/100 g) expressed in gallic acid and catechin equivalents, respectively. Reducing power of CA and other antioxidants at 0.5 mg/ml followed the order of l-ascorbic acid > CA98 > TBHQ > BHA > CA60 > BHT > CA25. The IC50 values in the DPPH assay obtained for CA25, CA60, CA98, BHA, BHT and TBHQ were 0.30 ± 0.002, 0.20 ± 0.003, 0.12 ± 0.002, 0.19 ± 0.002, 0.42 ± 0.010, and 0.09 ± 0.001 mg/ml, respectively.  相似文献

The antioxidant potentials of buntan pumelo (Citrus grandis Osbeck) and its fermented products were determined. The essential oil from peel had higher total phenolic (214 mM) and flavonoid (134 mg QE/g of dried material) contents than those of different solvent extracts from fruit pulp. In addition, DPPH free radical-scavenging activity and ferric-reducing antioxidant power values determined for the essential oil were 26.1 ± 1.2% and 2.3 ± 0.3 mM, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of various fruit pulp extracts. The ethanol-fermented products of pumelo juice had higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents than those of fresh juice. For maintenance of the substantial antioxidant properties of pumelo products, ethanol-fermented juice rather than fresh or acetate-fermented juice is recommended. Through correlation analysis, the phenolic compounds in the fermented pumelo products were found to be the major contributors to the free radical-scavenging activity and ferric-reducing power.  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

The ethyl acetate and methanol extracts from 16 Salvia L. species were screened for their inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, lipoxygenase, and tyrosinase; the enzymes linked to neurodegeneration. Their antioxidant activity was also tested using DPPH radical scavenging, metal-chelation, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Total flavonoid content of the extracts was determined by AlCl3 reagent, while HPLC technique was applied for analysis of various phenolic acids in the extracts. The extracts exerted weak cholinesterase and tyrosinase inhibition, and remarkable inhibition against lipoxygenase (13.07 ± 2.73-74.21 ± 5.61%) at 100 μg ml−1. The methanol extracts showed higher antioxidant activity in DPPH radical scavenging and FRAP assays. The extracts were analyzed for their gallic, protocateuchic, p-hydroxy-benzoic, vanillic, caffeic, chlorogenic, syringic, o- and p-coumaric, ferulic, rosmarinic, and tr-cinnamic acid contents and the methanol extract of Salvia ekimiana (153.50 mg 100 g−1) was revealed to be the richest in terms of rosmarinic acid.  相似文献

This work was undertaken to explore the potential of fruit waste materials as sources of powerful natural antioxidants. The peels of eight kinds of fruits commonly consumed and grown in Thailand were used. The ethanolic fruit peel extracts were subjected to the scavenging tests of DPPH and ABTS radicals. Results from both assays were in good agreement that the top three markedly high free radical-scavenging power was from the peel extracts of Punica granatum (pomegranate), Nephelium lappaceum (rambutan), and Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen). The IC50 values to quench the DPPH free radicals of these three extracts were 0.003, 0.006, and 0.023 mg/ml and the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) values from ABTS assay were 4.066, 3.074, and 3.001 mM/mg, respectively. The extract of mangosteen peel showed moderate toxicity to Caco-2 cells and high toxicity to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with the IC50 values of 32.0 and 4.9 μg/ml, respectively. Pomegranate peel extract stimulated Caco-2 cell and PBMC proliferation with the ED50 of 4.7 and 44.4 μg/ml, respectively. Peel extract of rambutan exhibited extremely high value of IC50 (>100 μg/ml) against both cell types indicating non-toxic activity to the cells. It was concluded that the peel of rambutan may be considered potentially useful as a source of natural antioxidants for food or drug product because of its high antioxidant activity and non-toxic property to normal cells.  相似文献

There are two predominant palm tree species producing edible fruit known as “açaí” found widely dispersed through the Amazon: Euterpe oleracea Mart. and Euterpe precatoria Mart. They differ from each other in terms of how the plants grow and their phytochemical composition. E. oleracea (EO) has received considerable attention as a “super fruit” because of its high antioxidant capacity, while studies on E. precatoria (EP) remain rare. In this study, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of EP fruit pulps were evaluated by different assays including a series of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) based assays, the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the cell-based antioxidant protection in erythrocyte (CAP-e) assay, as well as the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) assay. Total phenolics were also measured as an indication of the total phenol content. For comparative purposes, the EO fruit pulp was included. The antioxidant capacity of the EP fruit pulp was determined to be superior to the EO fruit pulp in every chemical based assay. In the cell-based CAP-e assay, the EP fruit pulp showed a dose-dependent inhibition against oxidative damage with an IC50 of 0.167 g/l. In the SEAP reporter assay, the EP fruit pulp polyphenol-rich extracts inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NF-κB activation by 23% (p < 0.05) at 20 μg/ml, whereas the extract of the EO fruit pulp did not show a significant inhibitory effect at comparable doses. In addition, carotenoids were quantified for the first time in EP, since EP has high scavenging capacity against singlet oxygen.  相似文献

Ergosterol peroxide, the steroidal derivative with cytotoxic activity, has been isolated for the first time from the mycelium of edible and medicinal mushroom Hericiumerinaceum (lion’s mane mushroom) together with erinacine A. The new densitometric method was applied for the quantitative determination of ergosterol peroxide in n-hexane extracts of H. erinaceum, Laetiporus sulfureus (chicken mushroom), and Morchella esculenta (common morel) mycelia, as well as in Boletus edulis (king bolete), Suillus bovinus (Jersey cow mushroom), and B. badius (bay bolete) fruiting bodies. The ergosterol peroxide content reached 15.98 ± 0.78, 10.07 ± 0.75, 13.37 ± 0.56, 29.32 ± 1.43, 17.27 ± 0.84, and 12.60 ± 0.59 mg per 100 g, respectively. What is significant was that ergosterol peroxide was identified for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, in edible mushrooms mentioned above.  相似文献
