Phytochemical Screening and Antioxidant Properties of Peel Extracts from Bouea burmanica Griff.
Keywords:
Phytochemicals, Antioxidant activity, Bouea burmanica GriffAbstract
This study aimed to investigate the preliminary phytochemicals, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant activity of crude extracts from Bouea burmanica Griff. peel using solvents with different polarities (hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol). The results of the extraction revealed that the methanolic extract yielded the highest extractable content (51.80%). Preliminary phytochemical screening based on color reactions and precipitation tests of B. burmanica peel extracts indicated the presence of phenolics, flavonoids, steroids, anthraquinones, diterpenes, triterpenes, and tannins. Determination of the total phenolic and flavonoid contents using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and the aluminium chloride colorimetric method, respectively. The results demonstrated that the methanolic extract exhibited the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents (19.54 ± 3.57 mg GAE/g DW and 8.86 ± 0.89 mg QE/g DW, respectively). In addition, it showed antioxidant activity in all three assays, namely DPPH (IC50 = 15.16 ± 1.23 µg/mL), ABTS (IC50 = 78.74 ± 4.94 µg/mL), and FRAP (149.07 ± 1.35 mg FeSO4 equivalent/g DW). The findings indicate that B. burmanica peel extracts represent a potential source of antioxidants, which could lead to further in-depth investigations of its chemical constituents and other biological activities.
