3,3. Antioxidant activities
Antioxidant activities measured by As DPPH, FRAP, and ORAC methods are shown in Table 3. DPPH Radical is a free Stable Radical in a Group of reactive Nitrogen Species. The DPPH assay is based on the ability of antioxidants to reduce the DPPH radical resulting in colour change from purple / blue to yellow (Prior, Wu, & Schaich, 2005). The DPPH value of the three fruits ranged widely from 61 lmolTE / g in A. velutinosum Blume to 489 lmolTE / g in P. emblica L. The antioxidant activities of P. emblica L. (302-592 lmolTE / g) and A. Velutinosum Blume (9-94 LmolTE / G) was widely Distributed.
Due to The Maturity of The Growing Fruits and Locations / conditions (Ferreyra et AL., 2,007; Han et AL., two thousand and eight).
FRAP measured The Ability of antioxidants to Reduce The. ferric-tripyridyltriazine (Fe3 + -TPTZ) complex to the blue-colour complex of ferrous-tripyridyltriazine (Fe2 + -TPTZ) in acidic conditions (Benzie & Strain, 1996). P. emblica L. had the highest FRAP value (652 ± 260 lmolTE / g), followed by S. pinnata (Lf) Kurz (424 ± 39 lmolTE / g) and A. velutinosum Blume (118 ± 81 lmolTE / g).
ORAC assay is one common method for evaluating antioxidant capacity. Its principle is similar to the biological function of chain-breaking antioxidants (Ou et al., 2002). The assay is based upon the reaction between the peroxyl radical and a fl uorescent probe. The radical oxidises the probe resulting in a decrease in fl uorescence intensity. In the presence of antioxidants, the reaction is extended (Prior et al., 2005). A similar trend in antioxidant activ-ities for the three fruits was also observed by the ORAC assay com-pared to DPPH and FRAP assays, wherein the ORAC activity of P.emblica L.> S. pinnata (Lf) Kurz> A. velutinosum. Blume. A strong correlation between total Phenolic content and DPPH, FRAP, and.
ORAC values was observed in this Study (R = 0.94, 0.94 and 0.89, respectively). This relationship has been reported in many other studies (Han et al., 2008; Maisuthisakul et al., 2007), which con- fi rmed that phenolics were the major contributor to antioxidant activity.
