Determination of Antioxidant Activity of Ethanol Extract of Gölevez [(Colocasia esculenta (L.)] Tubers
Abstract
In
this study, the antioxidant
activity of the ethanolic extract of Colocasia
esculenta tubers were determined by four different antioxidant tests
including DPPH and ABTS radicals scavenging activities, metal chelating
activity and reducing power. The scavenging effect of extract of C. esculenta tubers and standards on
DPPH radical at the highest concentration (600 µg mL-1) decreased in
the following order: Vitamin C˃Trolox˃C. esculenta˃BHA and were found as 95.4, 93.6, 83.8 and 78.8 %,
respectively. The scavenging effect of C.
esculenta tuber extract and standards on ABTS radical at the highest
concentration (100 µg mL-1) decreased in the order: Trolox = BHA˃C.
esculenta and were found as 100, 100, 94.6%, respectively. The metal chelating capacity of extract
of C. esculenta tubers and standards
decreased in the order of C. esculenta˃BHA˃Trolox
at lowest concentration (100 µg mL-1) and was found to be 78.0,
76.0, 63.5 %, respectively. Reducing power of extract of C. esculenta tubers and standards at the highest concentration (600
µg mL-1) followed the order: BHA˃Trolox˃C.
esculenta. Total
phenolic compound and flavonoid amounts of C.
esculenta tubers were designated as 2400 mg GAE/kg extract and 2050 mg
QE/kg extract, respectively.
