ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF VARIOUS EXTRACTS FROM WHOLE PLANTS OF DOLICHOS BIFLORUS (LINN) EVALUATED BY THREE IN VITRO METHODS
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In the present investigation was to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of various extracts from whole plants of Dolichos biflorus with the help of three in-vitro antioxidant models were carried out for total antioxidant activity (phosphomolybdic acid method), ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) assay and iron chelating method. Methanolic extract of Dolichos biflorus was showed more effective in free radical scavenging activity in total antioxidant activity, FRAP and iron chelating methods than that of other two extracts. The results obtained in the present study indicate that the methanolic extract of whole plants of Dolichos biflorus are a potential source of natural antioxidant.
