Overview

This study evaluates phenolic content and antioxidant activity of extracts from calathea lutea leaves, revealing promising applications. Findings suggest potential as a natural antioxidant alternative.

Key Points

  • The dichloromethane fraction exhibited the highest phenolic content and antioxidant activity among tested extracts.
  • Phenolic content measured 58.47 mg GAE/g extract, determined by advanced liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.
  • Extraction methods included cold maceration, Soxhlet extraction, and steam distillation to analyze the leaves' chemical composition.
  • Results highlight the potential of calathea lutea as a natural alternative to synthetic antioxidants in the food industry.
