Antioxidant Potentials And Alphaamylase Inhibitory Activity Of Ethanol Extracts Of Three Dark Green Vegetables: Vernonia Colorata, Ocinium Gratissimuni And Pterocarpus Santalinoides
ABSTRACT
Antioxidants are
mainly used for two different groups of substances; industrial chemicals which are
added to products to prevent oxidation and natural chemicals found in foods and
body tissues which are said to be beneficial health effects. Alpha-Amylase
activity is present in all living organisms; however, the enzymes vary
remarkably even from tissue to tissue within a single species. The study is
aimed at evaluating the antioxidant potentials and aipha-amylase inhibitory
activity of ethanol extracts of three dark green vegetables Vernonia colorata,
Ocimum gratissimum and Pterocarpus santalinoides. Ocirnum graissimum showed a
significant inhibitory effect of 35ig/ml on alpha amylase enzyme compared with
the acarbose (18tg/ml). Of all the plant extracts Pterocarpus santalinoides
showed significant antioxidant activity (36,500rngTAE/g) compared to the other
plants with 20,300mgTAE/g and 1 5,200mgTAE/g respectively. Ocirnum gratissim
urn showed a significant free radical scavenging activity compared with other
plant extracts. From the findings, these tree dark green vegetables studied can
be considered as good source of pharmacologically important phyto-constituents
which possess strong antioxidant activities and its alpha amylase inhibitory
activity may contribute to its earlier observed anti-diabetic potentials.
