Abstract
The study was carried out to assess the antioxidant capacity and phytochemical constituents of acetone and water extracts of the vegetables irrigated with fresh and waste water such as Raphanus sativus (Radish), Brassica oleracea capitata (Cabbage), Brassica rapa (Turnip), Coriandrum sativum (Coriander) and Spinacia oleracea (Spinach). A concurrent quantitative investigation of total phenolics, flavonols and flavonoids was also made and according to the results, the higher antioxidant capacity was shown by aqueous extracts in all antioxidant methods than acetone extracts. Key words: Raphanus sativus, Brassica oleracea capitata, Brassica rapa, Coriandrum sativum, Spinacia oleracea, antioxidant.
Highlights
Phytochemicals are chief bioreactive non-nutrient in plants (Factor et al, 2000)
A concurrent quantitative investigation of total phenolics, flavonols and flavonoids was made and according to the results, the higher antioxidant capacity was shown by aqueous extracts in all antioxidant methods than acetone extracts
Research for determining natural sources of antioxidants has been increased and various studies have been reported for the prevention of diseases as a result of oxidative anxiety by consuming vegetables and fruits (Gulcin, 2012; Ivan et al, 2016)
