Chia Seed ( Saliviahispanica ) – An Antioxidant Potent to Pharmacologic al Activities
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
A ntioxidant is a substance that reduces damage due to oxygen, that caused by free radicals. The recent research focuses on searching the natural sources of antioxidant and the synthetic antioxidant are restricted due to their carcinogenicity. Chia ( Saliviahispanica ) are versatile herb as well as spice, and the seeds are shine due to their high amount of antioxidant that help to protect delegate fats in the seed. In the present study, t he mucilage extraction of chia seed was prepared by method of Box - Behnn experimental design and the qualitative chemical tests carried out for the identification of the nature of phyto - constitu ents present in chia . Free radical scavenging activity and metal c helating activity w ere identified and it includes Total Flavonoid Content (TFC), Total Phenolic Content (TPC) , DPPH and Total Antioxidant Content (TAC) was analyzed. The total antioxidant activity was performed according to Ferrick Thiocyanate m ethod. At th e 50μg/ml concentration of chia were found to be 0.28μg/ml of phenolic, 1.23mg of orientin, 2.78mg of vicenin, 1.7mg of v itamin C respectively. The chia had effective total antioxidant activity, DPPH radical scavenging, reducing power and metal chelating activities. Chia is good antioxidant potential with enlightened total phenolic and flavonoid content in management of cholesterol reduction and heart protection. The common dosage recommendation is 20gm of chia see d per day. Based on this proper ties, the present study was undertaken in such a way to utilize and explore the health benefits
