ASSESSMENT OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF CURCUMA AROMATICA SALISB EXTRACTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Curcuma aromatica Salisb, also known as ngai trang, has up to 27 species in Vietnam, with the most common being present in Lam Dong, Quang Binh, Northwest, and Dak Lak. This paper presents the findings of an assessment of the antioxidant activity of a turmeric extract using DPPH, ABTS, and Ferric ion Reducing Antioxidant Power capacity. The findings revealed that the anti-oxidation activity of white turmeric extract tested using the DPPH method with an IC50 was 129,00 ± 4,816 (mg/ml) and the ABTS method with an IC50 was 25,29± 1,855 (mg/ml) and that the extract's ferric ion reducing antioxidant power capacity was quite low.
