Overview

Comparative evaluation reveals antioxidant activity and phenolic content in ten medicinal plants, implying potential for natural product development.

Key Points

  • The study aims to compare the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of ten Papuan medicinal plants.
  • Determined antioxidant activity using the Ferric Thiocyanate method.
  • Quantified total phenolic content through the Folin-Ciocalteu assay.
  • Conducted multivariate analysis using principal component analysis.
  • Analyzed both aqueous and methanolic extracts.
  • Myrmecodia jack’s methanolic extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity at 97.30%.
  • Persea americana's aqueous extract had a comparable antioxidant activity of 96.29%.
  • Areca catechu L. showed the highest total phenolic content.
  • Phenolic content accounted for 83.2% of antioxidant activity in methanolic extracts.
  • PCA classified samples into high phenolic, high antioxidant, and mixed profiles.
