The current investigation is intended to evaluate the content of phytochemical constituents and antioxidant potential of hydroalcoholic extracts of stem and root of Grewia serrulata DC (HAESGS & HAERGS) and leaf and bark of Grewia Nervosa (Lour.) panigrahi (HAELGN & HAEBGN). Initially, all the extracts at different concentrations were estimated for their total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. The study was further extended for their antioxidant potential evaluation using various in vitro methods such as 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical scavenging assays. The total phenolic content (mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of extract) was high in HAELGN (170.82±0.19) and HAERGS (123.00±0.48) than HAESGS (111.2±0.26) and HAEBGN (119.60±0.23). The total flavonoid content (mg quercetin equivalent per gram) is greater in HAERGS (71.24±0.50) and HAESGS (65.68±0.27) than HAELGN (55.82±0.35) and HAEBGN (62.38±0.45). The IC50 values (µg/ml) of different plant extracts inferred that DPPH radical scavenging activity is greater in HAELGN (42.91±0.88) and HAEBGN (53.87±0.35) than HAESGS (126.73±1.20) and HAERGS (88.87±1.25). However, hydroxyl and superoxide radical scavenging activity is more in HAERGS (135.41±1.19 & 88.00±1.42) and HAELGN (172.28±1.91 & 108.163±1.09) than HAESGS (237.3±1.65 & 110.074±0.87) and HAEBGN (204.7±1.04 & 125.54±1.07). The results of present comprehensive analysis demonstrated that both the plants Grewia serrulata DC and Grewia Nervosa (Lour.) panigrahi possess high phenolic, flavonoid contents and potential antioxidant activity, and could be used as a valid source of natural antioxidants and might be utilized for pharmacological screening of various therapeutic activities.

Natural substances extracted from plants have been gaining attraction as protective agents due to their safety and responsible for multiple biological effects on skins. The present study was to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, Sun Protection Factor (SPF), and antioxidant potential of different solvent extracts of Graptophyllum pictum leaves. The dried powdered leaves were extracted by the cold maceration method, using three different solvents, i.e., methanol, ethanol, and water. The extracted leaves was tested for antioxidant activity using of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl). Total phenolic content was determined using the Follin-Ciocalteu and for total flavonoid content with used the aluminium chloride. The SPF of all extracts were analyzed by ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry. The total phenolic content is the highest in methanol extract (377.61±0.31 µg/ml), and total flavonoid content is the highest in ethanol extract (158.06 ± 0.18 µg/ml). For DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ethanolic extract showed the maximum percentage of inhibition, and for SPF, methanol extract had displayed the highest. The study recommends that methanol is a good solvent for the extraction of sun-protective constituents from G. pictum.

Aim: To evaluate the ash and moisture contents, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant potential of Terengganu singgang extracts. Study Design: Experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Central Laboratory, Tissue Culture Laboratory, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, Terengganu between April 2019 and July 2019. Methodology: Samples comprised three types of singgang dishes, which were prepared, cooked, and then extracted with distilled water and ethanol (EtOH) in different strengths, 50%, 70%, and 100%. These singgang samples were chub mackerel (ST), Indian mackerel (SK), and a control sample with no fish(SC). Extracts were analyzed for their moisture and ash content. Also, the total phenolic content (TPC) was assayed using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, while total flavonoid content (TFC) using AlCl3 colorimetric assay, and antioxidant activity using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was also evaluated. Results: Experimental assays showed that the SC sample extracted in 100% EtOH produced the highest yield (3.7%). SK samples were lower than SC and ST in moisture content and ash content with 94.21%, 96.37% and 93.03% moisture content and 0.85%, 0.71%, and 0.96% ash content. Meanwhile, the extract of ST in 100% EtOH yielded the highest TPC (315.0 mg GAE/100g) and T-AC (8.8 U/mL) but the lowest in DPPH scavenging activity (12.2%). On the other hand, the extract of SK in 70% EtOH gave the highest TFC with 6485.3 mg QE/100g. The correlation of TFC and TPC with DPPH and T-AOC assays was positively significant. Conclusion: In conclusion, the ST extract yielded the best antioxidant capacity.

Penelitian pendahuluan tentang aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak etanol dan ekstrak etil asetat daun dewandaru (Eugenia uniflora L.) menunjukkan potensi anti radikal bebas yang tinggi dari kedua ekstrak. Oleh karena itu telah dilakukan fraksinasi ekstrak etanol dan ekstrak etil asetat daun dewandaru, serta pengujian aktivitas antiradikal dari masing-masing fraksi. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada korelasi antara kandungan fenol dan flavonoid total dalam berbagai fraksi tersebut dengan aktivitas antiradikalnya. Daun dewandaru diekstraksi dengan kloroform, etil asetat, dan etanol secara maserasi bertingkat. Selanjutnya dilakukan fraksinasi terhadap masing-masing ekstrak etanol dan ekstrak etil asetat menggunakan kromatografi kolom gravitasi dengan fase diam silika G60 dan fase gerak campuran perbandingan tertentu antara kloroform, etil asetat, etanol, dan air secara gradien kepolaran. Aktivitas antiradikal diukur secara spektrofotometri dengan pereaksi DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl) dan sebagai pembanding digunakan vitamin E. Penentuan kadar fenol dan flavonoid total dalam fraksi secara spektrofotometri menggunakan pereaksi Folin Ciocalteu untuk penetapan kadar fenol total, sedangkan untuk penentuan kadar flavonoid total menggunakan pereaksi AlCl3. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fraksi-fraksi dari ekstrak etil asetat dan ekstrak etanol daun dewandaru mempunyai aktivitas antiradikal yang cukup tinggi. Lima fraksi dari ekstrak etanol memiliki aktivitas antiradikal lebih tinggi dibanding vitamin E. Aktivitas antiradikal paling tinggi ditunjukkan dengan nilai ARP (antiradical power) sebesar 3496,5 mg DPPH/mg sampel, sedangkan vitamin E sebesar 1776,20 mg DPPH/mg sampel. Korelasi antara kadar fenol maupun flavonoid total dalam berbagai fraksi tersebut dengan aktivitas antiradikalnya menunjukkan korelasi positif dengan korelasi sebesar 0,55 dan 0,45. Berdasarkan hasil diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa fraksi-fraksi polar daun dewandaru mempunyai aktivitas antiradikal yang lebih tinggi daripada vitamin E, namun aktivitas tersebut berkorelasi rendah dengan kandungan fenol dan flavonoid totalnya.   Preliminary research on the antioxidant activity of ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of Dewandaru leaves (Eugenia uniflora L.) showed high anti-free radical potency from both extracts. Therefore fractionation of the ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of dewandaru leaves was carried out, as well as evaluation of antiradical activity of each fraction. In addition, this study also aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between the phenol and total flavonoid content in various fractions with their anti-inflammatory activity.Dewandaru leaves were extracted by sequentially maceration with chloroform, ethyl acetate and ethanol. Furthermore, the ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts were fractionated  using gravity column chromatography with silica G60 as stationary phase and increasing polarity of mobile phase by  varying the ratio of chloroform, ethyl acetate and ethanol. Anti-free radical activity was determined using spectrophotometer and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl), vitamin E was used as a standard. Determination of total phenol and flavonoid content was determined using spectrophotometer, Folin Ciocalteu reagent was used to determine total phenolic content, meanwhile  ALCl3 reagent was used to determine total flavonoid content.  The results showed that fractions of  ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of dewandaru leaves showed high anti-free radical activity. Of all fractions, there 5 fractions of ethanol extract showed higher anti-free radical activity as compared to vitamin E.  The highest anti-free radical activity is indicated by ARP (antiradical power) value of 3496.5 mg DPPH/mg sample, meanwhile the ARP value of vitamin E was 1776,20 mg DPPH/mg sample. Correlation between total phenol and flavonoid content of those fractions indicated positive correlation with correlation value of 0.55 and 0.45 respectively. Based on the results, it can be concluded that polar fractions of dewandaru leaves displayed higher anti-free radical activity as compared to vitamin E, however those activitiesdid not have correlation with their total phenolic and flavonoid content

Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of cooking temperature and time on the total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of garlic. Results The mean total phenolic content of fresh garlic were 303.07 ± 6.58 mg gallic acid equivalent per 100 g (GAE/100 g) and 638.96 ± 15.30 mg GAE/100 g of plant material for the aqueous and ethanolic extracts respectively. The mean total flavonoid content 109.78 ± 6.78 mg quercetin equivalent per 100 g (QE/100 g) and 258.47 ± 12.37 QE/100 g for aqueous and ethanolic extracts respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectral data showed absorptions in the range for carboxylic acids, hydroxyl group, esters, and alcohols, confirming the presence of phenols and flavonoids in the extracts. Cooking temperature had a significant effect on total phenolic content and total flavonoid content while cooking time did not have a significant effect on the phytochemicals and antioxidant activity.
