ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF TAXIFOLIN OBTAINED FROM METHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF CORDIA DICHOTOMA LINN. SEEDS
Abstract| Cordia dichotoma L. family Boraginaceae is a medium sized tree, is taken as food. The immature fruits are pickled and are also used as vegetable. The various extracts and fractions of Cordia dichotoma were screened for their free radical scavenging properties using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and comparing it with butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) as standard antioxidant. The methanolic extract of seeds of Cordia dichotoma Linn and its fraction containing Taxifolin showed promising (P<0.001) DPPH free radical scavenging activity at a concentration of 100 µg/ml. |
