barks; antioxidant activity; total phenolic contents; total flavonoids contents; reducing power
Barks extracts of four different trees (Azadirachia indica, Terminalia aijuna, Acacia nilotica., and Eugenia jambolana Lam.) in three different solvents 80% methanol, 80% ethanol, and 80% acetone (solvent:water, 80:20 v/v) were evaluated for their antioxidant activity, total phenolic (TP), and total flavonoids (TF) contents. Antioxidant activity (AA) was determined by measuring reducing power, inhibition of peroxidation using linoleic acid system and 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging activity. Significant (P < 0.05) differences were observed in the TP, TF, inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation and DPPH scavenging activity of different bark extracts. Nevertheless, minute variation was observed in reducing power. All the bark extracts exhibited wide range of total phenolic, 7.8-16.5 gallic acid equivalents and total flavonoid contents, 1.59-4.93 catechin equivalents. Reducing power at 10 mg/mL extract concentration ranged from 1.34 to 1.87. Different bark extracts inhibited oxidation of linoleic acid by 44-90% while DPPH radical scavenging activity ranged from 49% to 87%. Extraction efficacy of components with antioxidative properties was lowering in the following order: ethanol > methanol > acetone. Good correlation was observed between TP and DPPH scavenging activity among the extracts. A. nilotica bark had the highest amounts of TP, ranging from 9.2 to 16.5 g/100 g, while the highest AA as measurement by inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation is offered by bark from E. jambolana Lam. The same tree showed the highest DPPH scavenging activity and reducing power. The correlation among the results of different antioxidant assays although revealed a strong relationship between some of the assays, however, a number of different methods may be necessary to adequately assess the in vitro antioxidant activity of a specific plant material.
