Investigation of Antioxidant Activities of Different Plants Grown in Baku
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03
Abstract
This work aims to evaluate the antioxidant activities of various plants (Eupatorium maculatum, Pinus eldarica and Ficus benghalensis) grown in Baku. Antioxidants are bioactive compounds that prevent cell damage by combating oxidative stress and play an important role in the prevention of many chronic diseases including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The antioxidant potential of plants is closely related to the amount of phenolic compounds and flavonoids they contain. Within the scope of the study, three different plant species (Eupatorium maculatum, Pinus eldarica and Ficus benghalensis) widely distributed in Baku were selected and their extracts were prepared using ethanol. Then, in order to evaluate the antioxidant activity, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity assay and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) assay were applied. At the same time, total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum nitrate spectrophotometric methods. As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that some plants have high antioxidant potential, therefore, they have high potential for use in the pharmacological and functional food industry. It was revealed that plant extracts with high phenolic content in particular exhibited stronger antioxidant effects. The research results indicate that Baku’s local plant resources can be an important source of raw materials for the health and food industries. This study may provide the basis for more detailed biochemical studies of local plant species in the future and for a broader evaluation of their therapeutic potential. At the same time, the research results provide a useful scientific basis for further investigation of the application possibilities of new natural antioxidant resources in various industrial sectors.
