Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the solvent type on the extraction of phenolics and the antioxidant properties of the extracts obtained from Chétoui olive leaves. Extraction was conducted at room temperature using four solvents: deionized water (ddH2O), 80% methanol (80% MeOH), 70% ethanol (70% EtOH), and 80% acetone. Total phenols and total flavonoids were measured using the Folin-Ciocalteau and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods, respectively. The antioxidant properties have been determined by two scavenging activity methods, DPPH and ABTS. The total phenol and flavonoid contents of the olive leaf extracts (OLEs) ranged from 16.52 to 24.93 mg gallic acid g–1 DM and from 6.23 to 21.47 mg catechin g–1 DM, respectively. The IC50 values of DPPH varied from 0.17 to 0.97 mg mL–1 and the antioxidant activity values determined by ABTS (trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity) were between 629.87 and 1064.25 μmol TE g–1 DM. Our results revealed that extracting solvents have a significant influence on the antioxidant properties of olive leaves and that a methanol mixture is recommended for extracts with high levels of flavonoids and important antioxidant activities. Moreover, it was noticed that the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) depends more on the flavonoids (r = 0.821) than on the total phenols (r = 0.399).

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.
