Antioxidant activity of extracts from foxtail millet (Setaria italica)

Abstract: The less explored, commercially available foxtail millet-milled fractions like whole flour & bran rich fraction were studied for its antioxidant potency. Phytochemicals like alkaloids, phenolics, reducing sugars and flavonoids were found only in methanolic & aqueous extracts, while tannins and terpenoids were present in all the solvent extracts of whole flour & bran rich fraction. Antioxidants were extracted using methanol, ethanol and water. Methanolic extracts of whole flour and bran rich fraction exhibited … Show more

“…The ability of extracts to scavenge DPPH radicals was determined according to the method of Florence Suma and Urooj (2011). 1 mL of a 1 mM methanolic solution of DPPH was mixed with 3 mL of extract solution in methanol (containing 50-500 μg of dried extract).…”

“…Foxtail millet (Setaria italica Beauv), one of the oldest cultivated crops, originated from China, and is now planted in India, China, Japan, Australia, North Africa and South America for its excellent drought resistance, high tolerance to poor soil and good nutrient value (Sreenivasulu et al 2004;Prashant et al 2005;Suma and Urooj 2012). It has been reported that Foxtail millet is rich in starch, protein, lipid, vitamins and minerals (Usha et al 1996;Bai et al 2009).…”
