ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF THE ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI ISOLATED FROM MANGROVE ENVIRONMENT OF KARANKADU, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT
AbstractAntioxidant property of Phomopsis amygdali culture filtrate extracted with ethanol, was evaluated in vitro. ABTS and DPPH radicals were used to evaluate their antioxidant activity. Antioxidant components like total phenol and flavonoid were also determined. The ethanolic extract of Phomopsis amygdali showed potent antioxidant activity against both ABTS and DPPH radicals with the EC50 value of 580.02 ± 0.511μg/ml and 2030.25±501 μg/ml respectively. Total amount of phenol and flavonoid quantified were of 18.33 ± 0.68 gallic acid equivalents per gram and 6.44 ± 1.24 μg/mg of quercetin equivalent respectively. In conclusion, the culture filtrate of Phomopsis amygdali may have potential source of natural antioxidant
