Antioxidant activities of acetone and methanol extracts from stems and leaves of Camellia japonica L, one of traditional Chinese medicine consumed in the eastnorth region of China, were examined by a DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging assay and a β-carotene-linoleic acid test. In the DPPH system, the antioxidant activity of the acetone extracts was superior to that of the methanol extracts, with IC50 values were 246.56 and 320.17μg/mL, respectively. In the β-carotene-linoleic acid test, the inhibition ratio of the acetone extracts was found to be the higher, compared with the methanol extracts, with IC50 values were 258.19 and 396.88 μg/mL In general, the methanol extract showed greater activity than the acetone extract in both systems, such results might be attributed to the effects of the components of the methanol extract. It was concluded that Camellia japonica L might be a potential natural source of antioxidants.

The chemical composition of the essential oils, antioxidant activity (DPPH and β-carotene/linoleic acid assays) and total phenolic content (Foline-Ciocalteu) of the flowers and leaves of Salvia reuterana were determined. Essential oils extracted from the flowers and leaves by hydrodistillation were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Forty-four constituents, representing 99.7-99.9% of the oils, were identified. The major components were germacrene D, benzoic acid hexyl ester, bicyclogermacrene, β-gurjunene and ishwarene, constituting 33.7-31.9% of the oils. The highest radical-scavenging activity (DPPH test) was shown by the methanol extract of the flowers (IC50=77.6 μg/mL). In the β-carotene/linoleic acid assay, the methanol extract of the leaves showed the highest inhibition (40.3%) which was only slightly lower than that shown by BHT (82.9%). The total phenolic contents of the methanol extracts of the flowers and leaves as gallic acid equivalents were 81.4 and 88.3 μg/mg, respectively. The plant also showed good antimicrobial activity against three strains of tested microorganisms.

Antioxidant activity tests of methanol extracts of velvet beans (Mucuna pruriens) and velvet beans (Mucuna pruriens) in coffee preparations have been previously carried out by several researchers. This present study aims to examine the phytochemical and antioxidant activities of methanol extracts of Mucuna pruriens and Mucuna pruriens in coffee preparations. The methanol extract was tested for the phytochemical and antioxidant activities by applying DPPH (1,1-Dhiphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil) method. The results of the phytochemical test showed that the methanol extracts of the Mucuna pruriens and Mucuna pruriens in coffee preparations contained secondary metabolites of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and tannins. The outcomes of the antioxidant activity test revealed that the methanol extracts of the Mucuna pruriens and Mucuna pruriens in coffee preparations had antioxidant activities, as indicated by the IC50 values of 42.09 ppm and 37.23 ppm. It was also revealed that the antioxidant content of Mucuna pruriens in coffee preparations was stronger than the content in the velvet beans alone.

This study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant DPPH free radical-scavenging activity, and the total phenolic and flavonoid content of ethanol and methanol extracts of Salvia amplexicaulis Lam. in the whole plant and different parts, leaves, stems and flowers. The largest amounts of extract yield were obtained from the flowers, 14.14% and 12.00 % (w/w) in the ethanol of methanol extracts, respectively. The ethanol extract of leaves (16.07 ?g/ml) and methanol extract of the whole plant (21.28 ?g/ml) showed the highest activity against the DPPH radical. The ethanol extract of the leaves was the richest in phenols (222.40 mg GAE/g) and flavonoids (49.81 mg QE/g), whereas the methanol extract of the whole plant contained the highest amount of phenolics (180.89 mg GAE/g) and flavonoids (38.15 mg QE/g). A very strong linear correlation between antioxidant activity and the phenolic content of the extracts was established. The obtained results suggest that S. amplexicaulis could be regarded as an important source of natural antioxidants.

Verbascum L. species have been used since ancient times in traditional medicine thanks to their bioactive compounds. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant activity and phenolic contents of ethanolic and acetonic extract of Verbascum glomeratum that collected from Denizli, Turkey. The antioxidant activity were evaluated by using various methods (β-carotene/linoleic acid, ferric reducing power assays (FRAP), radical scavenging assays of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2and#39;-azino-bis-3-ethyl benzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), phoshomolibdenum methods) and total phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents in the extracts were determined. Antioxidant activity was determined as β-carotene/linoleic acid (%58.5and#177;0.021), DPPH (IC50: 1.220and#177;0.025) and ABTS (IC50:1.552and#177;0.021), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (4.151and#177;0.056 mgTE/g), phoshomolibdenum assay (8.218and#177;0.015 mgAE/g) total phenolic, total flavonoid and tannin contents was found as (4.41and#177;0.007 mgGAE/mL), (87.142and#177;0.009 and#181;QE/g), and (30.178and#177;0.008 mgCEs/g) respectively, and then 14 different phenolic compounds in ethanol extracts was carried out by HPLC. Epicatechin (2742.09 and#181;g/g) and 2,5dihidroksi (2544.96 and#181;g/g) were the most abundant phenolic constituents in the extracts. According the results, the extract of V. glomeratum may be considered as a potential source of biological agents.

Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the total phenolic and flavonoid content and the antioxidant property of two important seagrass species namely, Halophila ovalis and Halophila beccarii occurring in Chilika lagoon, Odisha, India. Methods: Total Phenolic Content (TPC) of the extracts of Halophila species was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method with little modifications and the total flavonoid content (TFC) was measured by aluminum chloride colorimetric assay. The antioxidant activity of different extracts was investigated by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity. IC50 values were calculated for the DPPH and ABTS methods. Result: The study revealed that the methanol extract of H. ovalis has greater antioxidant activity than H. beccarii. Methanol extract of both the species (H. ovalis and H. beccarii) was found to possess high phenolic content at value of 70.25 mg GAE/g of extract and 48.53 mg GAE/g of extract respectively. Similarly flavonoid contents was found highest in methanol extract for both H. ovalis (76.82 mg quercetin equivalent/ g of extract) and H. beccarii (64.28 mg quercetin equivalent/ g of extract). The antioxidant activity of different extracts of these two species were evaluated using DPPH and ABTS radical assay. The methanol extract of both H. ovalis and H. beccarii showed high radical scavenging activity with IC50 values of 37.77 μg/ml and 52.25 μg/ml for DPPH and 25.62 μg/ml and 45.45 μg/ml for ABTS respectively. Conclusion: The study revealed the potential of the Halophila species as natural sources of antioxidants having considerable commercial importance.

The objective of this study was to compare antioxidant activity from crudes of fruits, leaves, twigs and flowers of Mesua ferrea L. with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol by controlling time and temperature in the solvent extraction. All crude extracts were investigated for their antioxidant capacity in 1,1-diphenenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging. The results indicated that the high polar solvent exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity. The methanol extracts of leaves show the highest activity with IC50 of 89.94±0.65 μg/mL. The flowers, twigs and fruits methanol crude extracts show IC50 of 94.26±5.93, 94.45±1.67 and 722.94±5.85 μg/mL, respectively. The methanol extracts of leaves also had the highest total flavonoids content (325.79±3.08mgQE/g). The methanol extract of flowers and the dichloromethane extract of fruits presented higher total phenolic contents than the other extracts which contained 769.11±46.64 mgGAE/g and 703.62±12.62 mgGAE/g, respectively, followed by the methanol extract of leaves (348.36±38.53 mgGAE/g).
