Abstract
Free radicals, the source of oxidative stress, have been linked to a wide range of disorders. Current research is directed towards finding naturally occurring antioxidant of plant origin. The present investigation aimed to evaluate and compare the antioxidant capabilities of six solvent extracts of mango seed kernel (MSK) of two different mango species. The standard antioxidant assays have been done, including the Reducing power, DPPH, ABTS, Super oxide radical scavenging, Hydrogen peroxide scavenging, and Total antioxidant assays. Both the DPPH and ABTS assays show that MSK, after being extracted with ethyl acetate, has a high capacity to quench free radicals. Reducing power showed increase in absorption value with increasing of concentration. Both the species have the same abilities to scavenge superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Total antioxidant activity was high in the ethyl acetate solvent extract. In addition, our findings indicate that MSK extract may serve as a natural antioxidant.
