Also, the methanol and ethanol extract from Plukenetia
conophora showed &"% activity in the DPPH assay using
an extract concentration of )! !g/mL and )% !g/mL [$%],
indicating that the genus Plukenetia may have antioxidant
potential.
Peinado et al. [,"], working with grape extract, proposed
that sugars may also have a role as antioxidant molecules.
*en, in order to analyze whether the sugar presented in the
plant extracts may have any e+ect on the antioxidant activity,
the Pearson correlation was done. a value was obtained for *
