Antioxidant Activities of Methanolic Extracts of Sweet-Flag (Acorus calamus) Leaves and Rhizomes

Antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Acorus calamus. L leaf and rhizome extracts

“…Another fi nding regarding the antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts of sweet fl ag reported by Devi, et al (2011), TFC and TPC also found that exhibited positive correlation with DPPH radicals scavenging activity (15). However, only TFC showed the tight correlation to the DPPH radical scavenging activity in this present study.…”

Antifungal, anti-yeast, anti-oxidant and HPLC analysis of different solvent extracted samples from <i>Calamus aromaticus</i> leaves

“…Such high antioxidant potential of crude methanol extract from the leaves and rhizome of this plant is also reported by Devi and Ganjewala (2011). Shukla et al, (2012) have also reported mild anti-oxidant activity in C. aromaticus essential oil, and Elayaraja et al, (2010) in ethanolic and hydroalcoholic extracts from the roots and rhizome of this plant.…”

A Simple Method for the Characterization of Antioxidant Property of Different Extracts of Bark of Gethi (Boehmeria rugulosa)

“…The methanol extracts of leaves of Acorus calamus have also shown striking DPPH scavenging activity (at 20μg/mL), ferric ion chelating potential (at 18.8 μg/ml) and reductive ability (concentration dependant) whereas, methanol extract of rhizome exhibited better superoxide radical scavenging potential (at 30.5 μg/mL) (Devi and Ganjewala, 2011). Further, it has been reported earlier also that total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of Gethi bark powder is substantially higher than finger millet and sorghum (Khulbe et al, 2014).…”
