Polarography as a technique of choice for the evaluation of total antioxidant activity: The case study of selected Coprinus Comatus extracts and quinic acid, their antidiabetic ingredient

Abstract: This study was focused on in vitro screening of the total antioxidant activity of the selected extracts of the mushroom Coprinus comatus and quinic acid, one of their antidiabetic ingredients, by an uncommon electrochemical assay. Indeed, direct current (DC) polarographic HydroxoPerhydroxo Mercury(II) Complex (HPMC) assay based on decrease of anodic limiting current originating from HPMC formation in alkaline solutions of hydrogen peroxide at potential of mercury dissolution, observed upon gradual addition of … Show more

“…Antioxidant activity (AO) is considered to be an important feature of edible mushrooms in the prevention of oxidative stress [1,2,3]. Their antioxidants may well contribute to maintaining their physiological balance by neutralisation of free radicals (with stress on reactive oxygen species), without toxic or mutagenic effects, as opposed to synthetic antioxidants [3,4]. Generally speaking, it is believed that phenolics are primarily responsible for AO [1,5,6].…”

“…However, a recent study that determined the total antioxidant activity of the selected extracts of the mushroom C. comatus using a polarographic hydroxoperhydroxomercury (II) complex (HPMC) formation assay found that quinic acid exhibited the most promising antioxidant potential. This compound belongs to the class of cyclic polyols, an under-appreciated class of organic compounds, compared with aromatic (poly) phenolics [ 48 ]. Two main polysaccharide components (Ccp-I-A, Ccp-I-B) from the fruit bodies of C. comatus also have a strong antioxidant effect, whose scavenging activity on superoxide anions could reach 95% that of ascorbic acid [ 49 ].…”

“…In accordance with our findings, C. bursa-pastoris extract obtained using 0.01N H 2 SO 4 -water has contained quinic acid (95.6 mg/g), malic acid (68.3 mg/g), citric acid (27.4 mg/g), and oxalic acid (2.4 mg/g) (Grosso et al, 2011). Plant-derived quinic acid are reported to have wide ranging biological activities (antidiabetic) and a high potential as antioxidants high scavenging DPPH activity) (Janjušević et al, 2017;Karaman et al, 2019).…”
