“…The NCHs have shown higher antioxidant activity than ICD hydrogel due to the presence of AuNPs [61]. The scavenging property of DPPH radical of parent hydrogel (ICD) at various concentration (100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 μg) showed 10,15,19,24 and 29% and NCHs about 36,42,58,60 and 63% for G 1 ICD, 38, 44, 60, 62 and 65% for G 2 ICD respectively. Similarly, the NO radical scavenging ability results of ICD (3, 5, 10, 15 and 20%), G 1 ICD (36,44,46,50 and 59%) and G 2 ICD (36,45,48,52 and 61%) with the same concentration of the sample.…”
