Antioxidant activity of extracts from the aril of Torreya fargesii Franch. And its protection on the oxidation of DHA algal oil

Abstract: The hydrosoluble extract from a processing waste, aril of Torreya fargesii Franch. (abbr.as Torreya F), was investigated for its antioxidative properties and resulting protective effect on the oxidation of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) algal oil. The aril extract of Torreya F contained about 125.2 mg GAE/g dry extract total polyphenols and 18.5 mg RT/g dry extract total flavonoids. The scavenging ability on the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl −2-picrylhydrazyl), hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals of aril extract of Torrey… Show more

“…The botanical classification and ecological habit of T. fargesii differ from those of T. grandis [16]. Our previous work [17,18] indicated that flavonoids or polyphenols extracted from the arils of T. fargesii have antioxidant activity. However, studies of kernel oil from T. fargesii are scarce compared to studies of T. grandis .…”

“…The in vitro anti-oxidant studies would give better leads to carry out the biological activities in animal models. DPPH is casually used for evaluation of anti-oxidant activity (38). The change of purple to yellow colour was observed due to reduction of hydrogen or electron donor (39).…”
