Abstract. Murningsih T, Praptiwi, Liana, Fathoni A. 2019. TLC profiling and antioxidant activity of phenolic compound from Sterculia oblongata bark extract. Nusantara Bioscience 11: 44-48. In the present study, we investigated the total phenolic content and in- vitro antioxidant activity of Sterculia oblongata. Total phenolic content (TPC) of the methanol extract was examined by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and gallic acid as standard. The in-vitro antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH free radical scavenging activity and β-carotene bleaching assay. The result showed that the TPC of methanol extract was the highest (P<0.05) compared to other extracts. There is a positive and significantly very high Pearson’s correlation between antioxidant activity index (AAI) and TPC (r = 0.996). A negative and significantly high Pearson’s correlation was obtained between IC50 value and TPC (r = -0.885). The result of β-carotene bleaching assay showed that the rate of the decreased antioxidant activity of S.oblongata extract was lower than that of β-carotene/linoleic acid. The results suggest that the extract of S. oblongata can be used as a natural antioxidant. However, further investigation to isolate and identify the chemical compounds responsible for antioxidant was needed

The bioactive compounds, as well as the in vitro antioxidant activity of two Savoy cabbage cultivars, Dama and Leticia, grown in west of Spain under similar conditions were identified, quantified and compared. We found that cv. Dama presented in general betters results when compared with cv. Leticia. Cv. Dama presented higher concentrations of chlorophyll a (2.26 mg/100 g fresh weight), total phenolic content (102.71 mg of chlorogenic acid equivalent/100 g fresh weight) and total intact glucosinolates (195.22 &micro;mol of sinigrin equivalent/100 g fresh weight). Thus, cv. Dama exhibited higher values of in vitro antioxidant activity. &nbsp;

The present study was conducted to evaluate the quality and bio-functional properties of Portuguese honeys of different botanical and geographical origins. Quality parameter analyses included the determination of palynological (predominant, secondary, minor and isolated pollen percentage), physicochemical (°Brix, moisture content, pH, electrical conductivity, free acidity, total dissolved solids, salinity, vitamin C content and specific weight) including colour-metrics (CIELAB, Pfund and colour intensity determinations), along with volatile compounds identification using solid phase micro-extraction coupled to gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Bio-activity parameter analysis included the determination of in vitro antioxidant activity and total phenolic content using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl and Folin-Ciocalteu assays, respectively. Melissopalynological analysis showed that Portuguese honeys were classified as eucalyptus, chestnut and heather, recording significant variations (p < 0.05) among physicochemical, volatile and bio-activity parameter analyses according to both: botanical and geographical origin. Based on the multi-parameter analysis data Portuguese honeys could be characterized by a distinctive colour, a characteristic aroma, whereas conform to the European legislation relating to honey identity and quality. Specific attention should be given in the case of heather honey which showed the highest in vitro antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. Parameters that were also highly correlated using bivariate statistics.
