Antioxidant Activity of Lyophilized Water Extract of Aerial Parts of Italian Bugloss (Anchusa azurea Mill.)

Abstract

In many studies, an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption has been shown to reduce the death rate from age-related diseases such as coronary heart disease and cancer. For this reason, given the potential health benefits of natural antioxidants from plants, investigations on them have increased. Italian bugloss (Anchusa azurea Mill.), in some regions of Turkey is a plant consumed as a vegetable and used in traditional medicine therefore it is important to evaluate the biological activity. In this study, the antioxidant properties of Italian bugloss (Anchusa azurea Mill.) were investigated. The antioxidant capacity of water-based lyophilized extract obtained from air parts was evaluated with ferric ions (Fe3+) reducing, CUPRAC, FRAP, DPPH• and ABTS•+ scavenging antioxidant methods. In addition, total phenol and flavonoid contents were determined. This investigation could be a basis for further phytochemical investigations of Italian bugloss (Anchusa azurea Mill.).
