Screening of total Poly Phenols and Vitamin E as Natural Antioxidants Potential from Iranian Traditional Food Plants Extracts
Journal Title: American Journal of Agricultural Science, Engineering, and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Antioxidants are vital substances, which possess the ability to protect the body from damages caused by free radical-induced oxidative stress. The main objective of this study was to assess the antioxidant levels of a number of fruits and vegetables. We investigated the total phenolic contents in the plant foods used as traditional vegetables and fruits and well-known as sources of antioxidant using standard assay. Total phenolic contents ranged from 0.87 to 7.02mg gallic acid/g Dw in Alocaccia indica and Solanum indicum, respectively. Results showed that portulaca contains the most value (11.6 mg/100g), leaves of this plant may be considered as a potential new source of natural ñ- tocopherol, but vitamin E in Solanum, Chlorophytum and Alocacia are not detected. The plant foods possess valuable antioxidant properties for culinary and possible nutritive use.
