The aim of this study was to elucidate the correlation between total flavonoid content and total phenolic content on antioxidants activity of ethanol extracts from three cultivars of papaya leaves: 'Holland,' 'Khak Dam' and 'Red Lady.' All crude extracts were investigated to find antioxidant capacity in DPPH radical scavenging. The result indicated that the ethanol extract of ‘Red Lady’ papaya leaves exhibited the highest level of DPPH radical scavenging activity with the IC50 of 0.18 mg/mL, followed by the ‘Khak Dam’ and ‘Holland’ papaya leaves having an IC50 value of 0.24 and 0.44 mg/mL, respectively. The ethanol extract from 'Red Lady' papaya leaves showed the highest level of total flavonoid content (TFC) of 276.72 ± 1.04 µgQE/g DW and total phenolic content (TPC) of 169.85 ± 6.54 mgGAE/g DW. All three cultivars showed a distinctive correlation between IC50 and the content of both total flavonoid and total phenolic with a negative relationship of Pearson’s correlation of -0.922 and -0.940, respectively.

Abstract Marine sponge Stylissa flabelliformis is a marine sponge species that is widely found in Indonesia. Marine sponges have been proven to have pharmacological activities including wound healing, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity. All these activities are related to its antioxidant potential. Antioxidants are important for human health due to its ability to protect cell damage caused by free radicals. The aim of this research was to study the antioxidant activity of marine sponge (Stylissa flabelliformis) and to observe the phytochemical compound of the marine sponge such as the phenolic and flavonoid content. Extraction was performed using cold maceration with 96% ethanol solvent and continued by rotary evaporator to get the concentrated extract. Antioxidants activity was analysed using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, which examines the inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the ethanol extract. Total phenolic content (TPC) was examined using Gallic acid as the standard, while total flavonoid content (TFC) was examined using quercetin as the standard. The result showed a concentration-dependent antiradical activity by reduction of DPPH with an IC50 value 2000 µg/mL. Total phenolic content was 152,67 mg GAE/g, while the total flavonoid content was 155,79 mg QE/g.

Paspalum scrobiculatum, commonly known as ‘Kodo’ is a millet variety found in India having medicinal and pharmaceutical importance. Crude extracts of chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol were evaluated for the presence of total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of the millet grains. Phytochemical screening was done for a qualitative basis of the study. Phytochemical tests showed the presence of phenolics and flavonoids in more polar solvent, methanol and ethanol. Carbohydrates and fats and oils were present in all four extracts.  The result of total phenolic content by Folin- ciocalteu method with gallic acid as standard at 765 nm ranged from 40.15 ± 0.17 to 175.94 ± 1.018 µg/100µg extract. Ethanol extract showed maximum phenolic content. The total flavonoid content at 510 nm using rutin as standard ranged from 4.88 ± 0.50 to 116.48 ± 1.57 µg/100µg extract. Highest flavonoid content was found in ethanol extract. Presence of good amount of phenolic and flavonoid content indicates presence of phytochemicals in kodo millet having good antioxidant potential.Keywords: Paspalum scrobiculatum, Phytochemical, TPC, TFC, Ethanol, etc.

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.
