Abstract

ABSTRACTAntioxidant activities of aerial parts of solvent extracts of Alysicarpus procumbens, Fimbristylis dichotoma, Saccharum spontaneum, Suaeda nigra, and Typha angustifolia were evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) superoxide anion radical, 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethyl) benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) free-radical scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Solvent extracts of these plants showed different levels of antioxidant activity that were closely related to the total phenolic content; the methanol extracts exhibited synergistic antioxidant activity, however not different from that of individual extracts.
