An Assessment of Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities of Super Grain Quinoa
Author(s): Sikha BhaduriSikha Bhaduri
Quinoa is known to be an excellent source of natural antioxidants and therefore the extract of quinoa seed was considered to have a significant anti-inflammatory activity. Two different varieties of quinoa seeds and six different solvents hexane, acetone, methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate and water were used as solvent for extraction in the present study. Extracts from water, methanol and ethanol showed significant antioxidant and phytochemical activities. Water extract showed highest Phenol content (89.73 ± 1.74), antioxidant activity (1586 ± 41.42) and DPPH scavenging capacities (82.71 ± 0.03) compared to other solvents used for extraction. IC50 value for percentage DPPH scavenging capacities by water extract was 14.71 ± 0.02, compared to ascorbic acid (7.15 ± 0.13), which is a control. All extracts exhibit significantly.. View More»
