CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Antioxidant capacity and total poly phenol content of Sri Lankan Annona muricata L.

Exporter la citation

Annona muricata L. (Annonaceae) is a tropical fruit tree in Sri Lanka and commercial utilization of this species is poor. The objective of the present study was to determine the antioxidant activity and the total phenol content of the ethanolic extract of fruit pulp of the Sri Lankan variety of A. muricata. Antioxidant activity was determined by using 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging assay, ferrous ion chelating assay, and ferric reducing ability of plasma assay. The total phenol content was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method using Gallic acid standard. The fruit pulp extract exhibited scavenging activity having an IC50 value of 725 ppm and EC50 value for ion chelating activity as 306 ppm. The ferric reducing ability of 1000 ppm of the fruit pulp extract was equivalent to that of 25 ppm of vitamin C. The total phenol content of the extract of fruit pulp was 139 mg Gallic Acid Equivelant /100 g. The ethanolic extract of Sri Lankan variety of A. muricata fruit pulp exhibited moderate antioxidant capacity in terms of redox properties.
