Antioxidant activities of tamarind (Tamarindus Indica) seed coat extracts using in vitro and in vivo models

Abstract: Tamarindus indica seed coat was extracted with methanol, acetone and water and screened for DPPH radical scavenging activities. Methanol extract showed higher activity than other extracts. Treatment of albino rats (Wistar strain) with CCl 4 at 1.25 mL/kg of body weight decreased superoxide dismutase (55 %), catalase (73 %) and peroxidase (78 %), while lipid peroxidation increased nearly 2.5 fold in liver. Pretreatment of rats with methanol extract of T. Indica seed coat (TSCE) at 50 mg/kg (as tannic acid equiv… Show more

“…In recent time therapeutic usage of tradition plants containing bioactive components like protease, flavonoids, and polyphenols have been gaining a much importance due to their therapeutic potential (Sandesh et al, 2014;Halliwell, 1994). Despite this anticancer, antiulcer, antihypertensive, antioxidant, anti-diabetic antifungal and antimicrobial activities, tamarind seed edible extract was studied.…”

“…Fruit pulp is the most commonly used tamarind product (Ebifa‐Othieno, Mugisha, Nyeko, & Kabasa, ), which is known for its high antioxidant activity (Sandesh, Velu, & Singh, ). In the seed (Table ), between 21 and 36 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per 100 g of phenolic compounds were found, which was directly related to the antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts (Suksomtip, Ukrisdawithid, Bhusawang, & Pongsamart, ).…”
