“…FRAP measures the antioxidant effect of substances in the reaction medium by their reducing ability, which is considered as the ability of a natural antioxidant to donate electrons (Shi et al, 2009). The metal chelating activity of polysaccharides increased with increasing concentrations used in the test (Fig.…”

Abstract:The conditions for extracting polysaccharides from tea (Camellia sinensis L.) fruit peel (TFPPs) were studied. Three parameters (temperature, time, and liquid/solid ratio) affecting the extraction of TFPP were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Under the optimized conditions, the yield of TFPP was predicted to be 4.98%. The physicochemical properties, in vitro antioxidant activities, and inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase of fractionated TFPPs (TFPP-0, TFPP-20, TFPP-40, and TFPP-60) were investigated. We found that the TFPPs were all acid protein-bound heteropolysaccharides, although with different chemical compositions. They had not only remarkable scavenging activity on 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and reducing activity, but also excellent inhibitory potential against α-glucosidase in vitro. Our results suggest that tea fruit peel could be treated as a potential bioresource for the development of polysaccharide antioxidants.

“…ABTS is a synthetic radical that can be used to estimate scavenging activities for both polar and non-polar samples (Shi et al, 2009), and it is often expressed in TEAC values. In this study, TEAC values of the 10 Desmodium species were determined from the Trolox calibration curve as shown in Figure 2.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the antioxidant activities and phenolic components of the crude extracts of 10 Desmodium species from Taiwan. In this study, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical monocation scavenging activity, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and reducing power of the 10 Desmodium species were evaluated for their antioxidant activities. The results showed that, of all the samples, Desmodium sequax was the most active in ABTS, DPPH, FRAP and reducing power assays. The total polyphenol, total flavonoid and total flavonol contents of the crude extract were calculated. The correlation coefficient (R 2 ) values of TEAC with phenolic compounds indicated strong positive correlations, except for total flavonoid content. Furthermore, HPLC chromatographic fingerprints were established, and chlorogenic acid and vitexin in D. sequax were quantified. Chlorogenic acid was confirmed to express strong antioxidant activities in ABTS, DPPH, FRAP and reducing power assays. The present study indicated the antioxidant activities of the 10 Desmodium species were related to their phenolic components. D. sequax is a potent antioxidant medicinal plant, and chlorogenic acid may be an important factor in the antioxidant activity of this plant.

“…The superoxide radical scavenging assay aims towards analyzing the superoxide scavenging ability of the extract. The superoxide radicals are comparatively less toxic but are highly reactive and leads to a series of chain reactions thus generating very toxic radicals via Haber Weiss reaction [ 36 ]. The peroxyl radicals indirectly generated by superoxide radicals are among the most harmful free radicals [ 37 ].…”
