Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging Activities of Indian Acacias:Acacia Leucophloea(Roxb.) Willd.,Acacia Ferruginea Dc.,Acacia Dealbata Link. and Acacia Pennata(L.) Willd
Open accessAbstract
The acetone and methanol extracts of barks of A. leucophloea, A. ferruginea, A. dealbata, and A. pennata were evaluated for their total phenolics and flavonoid contents and antioxidative activities. Acetone extracts of barks exhibited higher contents of total phenolics and flavonoids. Further, the acetone extracts showed higher activity in DPPH•, ABTS•+, and OH•; FRAP; metal chelation; phosphomolybdenum reduction; and peroxidation inhibition. In conclusion, the results implied that the barks could be considered as health supplements and nutraceuticals/functional foods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
