EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF BETEL (PIPER BETEL) LEAVES EXTRACT
Keywords:
Antioxidant properties, Antioxidant ability assays, betel leave, Nitric oxide radical scavenging assayAbstract
Different type of biochemical test (Antioxidant ability assays, Hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, Nitric oxide radical scavenging assay and 2, 2?-azino-bis (3 ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) were exercised to evaluate antioxidant activity of betel leaves extract (BE). The result showed that BE exhibit high Antioxidant ability assays (303.55±5.18 ?g ascorbic acid) and IC50 value of BE for Hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, Nitric oxide radical scavenging assay and ABTS were found 37.48±2.85, 53.24±2.39 and 57.74±2.05 respectively. It can be concluded that betel leaves can be use as antioxidants in food industry to prevent the dilemma of lipid oxidation and rancidity.
