Culinary Decoctions: Spectrophotometric Determination of Various Polyphenols Coupled with their Antioxidant Activities

Abstract: Abstract:The aqueous extracts of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Miller), olive (Olea europaea L.), sage (Salvia officinalis L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), wild thyme (T. serpyllum L.), tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), and verbena (Verbena officinalis L.) were investigated for polyphenol, tannins, antocyanins and flavonoids. Among the nine culinary herbs, tea and wild thyme extracts contained the higher phenol content of 874.10 ± 3.50 GAE… Show more

“…IC50for thyme methanol extract reported by (Albayrak et al, 2013). Our results show higher IC50 for thyme water extract as compared to IC50value for thyme water extract reported by (Babili et al, 2013).The present results show that antioxidant activity of 100 % methanol extract of thyme is higher than 100 % chloroform extract of thyme which correlates with results reported by (Hossain et al, 2013b). The present results show that ethanol has higher IC50 than methanol which is comparable to the results reported by (Roby et al, 2013).…”

“…The aqueous extract of Algerian lemon verbena leaves had a lower antiradical activity (IC 50 = 27.4 mg/mL) than that of the hydroalcoholic extract (IC 50 = 23.52 mg/mL) [ 44 ]. A decoction of verbena ( Verbena officinalis L.) had an IC 50 = 15.76 mg/mL [ 48 ]. Likewise, the lemon verbena of the Boussalem region was characterized by a notable activity for ABTS (IC 50 = 4.54 µg/mL) and a reducing power (IC 50 = 10.37 µg/mL).…”

“…The normal cell processes produce free radicals as a by-product, and antioxidants serve to neutralize them. Polyphenolic and flavonoid compounds, which are found in many fruits, vegetables, and tea, are believed to be among the main substances responsible for antioxidant activity 1,2 . This work is focused on estimation of polyphenolic and flavonoid content in fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seeds, which are traditionally used for medicinal purposes and food flavoring 3 .…”
