3.6. Ext racts and fract ions
As shown in Table 1 , the three methanolic fractions
obtained by diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol
had the highest total phenol content and exhibited the
best radical scavenging capacity among the others (Tables 2 and 3). The ether fraction exhibited the second
highest AE values in both RSA tests after the ethyl acetate fraction, but in the TPC test, exhibited the third
highest value. The second highest value in TPC test after
the ethyl acetate fraction was possessed by the butanol
fraction, which exhibited the third highest AE values
in both RSA tests. Dichloromethane extract exhibited
the fourth highest TPC and AE value in both RSA tests.
