Variation in Antioxidant Activity and Antioxidant Constituents of Thymus Serpyllum L Grown in Different Climatic Conditions of Uttarakhand Himalayas

Abstract: In-vitro antioxidant activity of therapeutically important plant Thymus serpyllum L. grown at different altitudes viz. foothill areas, lower Himalayan and higher Himalayan regions were evaluated against various radicals such as DPPH, ABTS and reducing power assays. The antioxidant constituents like total phenols, flavonoids and total tannins were also evaluated in the present study. The results revealed that the alcoholic, as well as the aqueous extracts of the plant, showed significant antioxidant potential a… Show more

“…As for WT extract, the TPC content was 2.79 g L −1 or 15.05 mg GAE g −1 . This value is higher than the 12.63 mg catechol equivalent (CE) g −1 in methanolic extract determined by Goyal et al [ 39 ] and similar to the values (15.06 mg GAE g −1 ) for thyme flower methanolic extracts reported by Jabri Karoui et al [ 40 ] and the 15.53 mg caffeic acid equivalents (CAE) g −1 for an aqueous decoction of Thymus x citriodorus L. in the study conducted by Taghouti et al [ 41 ]. The TFC for WT extract in the present study was 3.17 mg QE g −1 , which is higher than TFC (ranging from 1.412 to 2.076 mg QE g −1 ) in other Thymus species, such as Thymus trautvetteri extracts in different solvents [ 42 ] and Thymus vulgaris L. methanolic extract (1.71 mg QE g −1 ) [ 43 ].…”

“…Figure 4 illustrates the significant decrease in the concentration of DPPH radicals owing to the scavenging ability of TAc and a standard [58,59]. The scavenging effects of TAc and the standard on the DPPH radicals decreased in the order of C-PAA/TAc (2:8) > C-PAA/TAc (5:5) > C-PAA/TAc (8:2); quantitatively, they were 92.66%, 92.57%, and 80.50%, respectively.…”
