A variety of secondary metabolites provide a valuable source of treatment for various pharmacological ailments. Grewia abutilifolia is a shrub found in the family Tiliaceae that is also investigated for its nutritional and medicinal benefits. Grewia is reported for its good antioxidant potential, which is applied to protect skin from UV rays. The main goal of this study is to determine the in-vitro sunscreen effect of Grewia abutilifolia based on phytochemical evidence of UV protection. Chemical treatments used to protect skin from the sun have several drawbacks, including numerous hazardous side effects on humans and the environment. The hydroalcoholic, ethyl acetate, and methanolic extracts were studied for their phytochemical, physicochemical, and sun protection activities. Total phenolic content, total alkaloid content, total flavonoid content, and SPF value were all highest in the methanolic leaf extract, with values of 99.20 0.12, 47.661.527, 96.02, and 14.50.01 for total phenolic content, total alkaloid content, total flavonoid content, and SPF value, respectively.

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.

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.

In this study there were evaluated total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)of 3 herbs species, that are commonly used in fresh stage (summer savory –Satureja hortensisL., marjoram –Majorana hortensisM. and thyme –Thymus vulgarisL.) in dependence on time of harvest. The total flavonoid content ranged from 2.36 to 4.10 g of catechin equivalents (CE).100g−1of dry weight (dw) of plant material. The highest average total flavonoids content was ascertained in aerial part of summer savory colected in first harvest (4.10 g CE.100g−1dw) and the lowest in aerial part of summer savory collected in third harvest (2.36 g CE.100g−1dw). The highest total flavonoid content was measured by all tested species in plant material harvested in first time of harvest. The highest total phenolic content was estimated in plant material of marjoram harvested in the second time of harvest (6.74 g gallic acid equivalents (GAE).100g−1dw) and the lowest in aerial part of summer savory harvested in the third time of harvest (4.16 g GAE .100g−1dw). Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) ranged from 1,13 (summer savory, harvest No. 3) to 1.91 g GAE .100g−1dw (thyme, harvest No. 1). The best results of total flavonoid content, total phenolic content and FRAP were obtained by marjoram. Among harvest times there were the highest contents of measured compound mainly by the samples collected in the first time of harvest.

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.

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal value of factors affecting the extraction of compounds such as, polyphenols, flavonoids of Roselle. The investigated factors included extraction temperatures (30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80°C), extraction time (30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes) and solid to solvent ratio (1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:40 and 1:50 g/mL). The efficiency of extraction was evaluated based on total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). The results showed that temperature range of 60–80°C was the appropriate temperature for TFC while extraction temperature over 60°C was suitable for achieving highest TPC. Considering the effect of extraction time, duration of 90–150 minutes facilitated the extraction of both phenolics and flavonoids. Moreover, the solid to solvent 1:20 was chosen for extraction process based on the balance of antioxidant contents and their yield.
