Free radical-scavenging capacity, antioxidant activity and phenolic content of Pouzolzia zeylanica

Abstract: Pouzolzia zeylanica was extracted with different solvents (acetone, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether), using different protocols (cold-extraction and Soxhlet extraction). To evaluate the antiradical and antioxidant abilities of the extracts, four in vitro test systems were employed, i.e., DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays and a reducing power assay. All extracts exhibited outstanding antioxidant activities that were superior to that of butylated hydroxytoluene. The ethyl acetate extracts exhib… Show more

“…ABTS radical scavenging activity was measured by the method described by Li et al [43]. For this, 10  μ L of the sample was added to 4 mL of the diluted ABTS ∙+ solution (prepared by adding 7 mM of the ABTS stock solution to 2.45 mM potassium persulfate, kept in the dark, at room temperature, for 12–16 h before use).…”

“…ABTS (2, 2'-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) free radical scavenging activity was analysed according to the method described by Li, et al 2011 23 with moderate modifications. Briefly, ABTS•+ stock solution was prepared by mixing 7 mM of ABTS and 2.45 mM of potassium persulfate and incubation at room temperature for 12-16 h. The ABTS • + working solution was prepared by dilution of the ABTS•+ stock solution and distilled water to gain a 0.70±0.02 absorbance at 734 nm.…”

“…Análises de atividade antioxidante, utilizando os radicais DPPH, ABTS, e ensaio usando a cooxidação do β-caroteno frente ao ácido linoleico têm sido muito utilizados para verificar a capacidade sequestradora de radicais livres de muitos produtos naturais (LI et al, 2011;ALVES et al, 2010).…”
