Abstract
Antioxidants are reducing agents which can safely interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction initiated by free radicals. There should be a unique balance between generation of ROS and antioxidant defense system in our body. This has led to an increased interest in natural antioxidants from plant sources. The present work was carried out to determine the concentrations of bioactive phytochemicals (ascorbic acid, carotenoid, total phenolic contents, protein and carbohydrate) and evaluation of antioxidant activities of ethanolic leaf extract of Terminalia bellerica (TB), Terminalia chebula (TC), Emblica officinalis (EO) and their formulation Triphala. Among the tested leaf extracts, highest ascorbic acid content was present in EO (118.36 �¼g 100g-1 of fresh weight) followed by Triphala, TB and TC. Highest carotenoid content was present in Triphala (6.53 �¼gg-1 of FW) followed by TB, TC and EO whereas TB leaf extract had highest TPC (215.66 mg-1 of GAE of dry weight) followed by Triphala, TC and EO. Out of three ethanolic leaf extracts, TB showed minimum IC50 for FRSA (58 �¼gml-1), SARSA (38 �¼gml-1), lipid peroxidation (103 �¼gml-1), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (35 �¼gml-1), FTC activity (117 �¼gml-1) as well as high reducing power (1.77 ASE ml-1). On the basis of our results, it may be concluded that high concentration of phenolic compounds and other bioactive phytochemicals in Triphala and leaf extract of its three constituents are potential source of natural antioxidants.
