Total phenolic and flavonoids contents
The antioxidant activity mainly due to the
redox properties (Zheng and Wang, 2001)
which showed an important activity in
adsorbing and neutralizing free radicals,
entrapments of singlet and triplet oxygen or
oxidising peroxides. The results from this
study suggested that phenolic and flavonoid
contents (351.25 ± 1.31 and 48.60 ± 2.17
μg/mL) are important components of these
plants.
