The ethyl acetate fraction contained the highest amount of total phenolics and total flavonoids, and showed the greatest 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and 2,2?-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging capacities and Ferric Reducing/Antioxidant Power (FRAP). The antioxidant activity of twenty-two compounds isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction was also evaluated using the above-mentioned three assays. The results indicated that phenolics contributed to the antioxidant activity of propolis collected in Anhui, China. Therefore, propolis collected in Anhui, China and its phenolics might be used as a natural antioxidant. © 2011 by the authors. | Source Title: | Molecules | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/180971 | ISSN: | 1420-3049 | DOI: | 10.3390/molecules16043444 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
