In this study, yield of Puerariae Flos extract showed 60% ethanol gave the highest yield of 26.34%. Total polyphenol contents and total flavonoid contents were highest in 40% ethanol extract (5.86 mg TAE/g) and hot water extract (3.06 mg CE/g), respectively. Evaluation of the reducing power of transition metal ions such as phosphomolybdenum and ferric tripyridyltriazine complex were high in 100% ethanol extract (4.41 mg AAE/g) and hot water extract (42.62 µM TE/g), respectively. Evaluation of free radical scavenging activity such as DPPH, ABTS and NO were excellent in 40% ethanol extract (95.74 µM TE/g, 17.78 µM TE/g, 175.5 µg/mL) and the HP radical scavenging activity was excellent in 80% ethanol extract (308.3 µg/mL), respectively. A positive correlation (p < 0.01) was showed between TFC and FRAP assay (r = 0.866) highest significant. The correlation between PMA and ABTS radical scavenging activity was significantly high with r = 0.913 (p < 0.01). The overall results of this work showed that Puerariae Flos is a candidate natural source of antioxidants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
