Phytochemical Study and Evaluation of the Antiradical Activity of Extracts of Oleaginous Seeds of <i>Panda oleosa</i> and <i>Isolona hexaloba</i> from Gabon

Abstract

Our study focused on phytochemical tests and evaluation of the anti-free radical activity of seed extracts of two oleaginous plants from Gabon used in traditional medicine or as condiments: Panda oleosa and Isolona hexaloba.The extraction was carried out by maceration with solvents of increasing polarity: cyclohexane, trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol and finally distilled water. The total yields of the extracts are about 69.50% for Panda oleosa and 34.28% for Isolona hexaloba. The phytochemical tests carried out on the ex-
