Antioxidant capacity of medicinal plants from the Province of Córdoba (Argentina) and their in vitro testing in a model food system

A Simple Method for the Characterization of Antioxidant Property of Different Extracts of Bark of Gethi (Boehmeria rugulosa)

“…A significant linear correlation was found between the values for the concentration of phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity of extracts from B. rugulosa (Figure 1a,b,c). Similar results with high linear correlation between the values of phenol concentration and antioxidant activity were observed by Canadanovic-Brunet et al, (2008), Borneo et al, (2008), Katalinic et al, (2004) and Yeasmen and Islam (2015) .…”

HPLC Fingerprint of Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Activities of Viscum album from Different Host Trees

“…In search of novel sources of antioxidants, medicinal plants, especially those used in traditionally folk medicine, have been extensively studied in the last years for their antioxidant activity (Li at al., 2008;Borneo et al, 2009;Antal, 2010;Djeridane et al, 2010;Kratchanova et al, 2010). European mistletoe (Viscum album L.) is an evergreen, semiparasitic plant, normally found growing on a variety of trees, especially pine, poplar, apple trees, locus trees etc.…”

Antioxidant Activity, Phenol and Flavonoid Contents of DifferentTeucrium Chamaedrys L.Exstracts

“…Therefore, the phenolic content of plants may contribute directly to their antioxidant action (23). Numerous investigations of the antioxidant activity of plant extracts have confirmed a high linear correlation between the values of phenol concentration and antioxidant activity (3,11). …”

“…Secondary metabolites are involved in an important biological and pharmacological activity such as anti-oxidative, anti-allergic, antibiotic, hypoglycemic and anti-carcinogen. (3,11,15) Many pathological conditions in human organism such as atherosclerosis, arthritis, Alzheimer disease, cancers etc. may be the result of increased concentrations of free radicals in an organism.…”
