The antioxidant activity of various solvent extracts from Jeju camellia mistletoe (Korthalsella japonica (Thunb.) Engl.) was investigated using various in vitro assays as the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging, ferrous ion chelating and reducing power assays. Methanol and ethanol extracts showed the most potent antioxidant activity in all assays tested followed by water extract. The inhibitory effect of the Jeju camellia mistletoe extracts on pancreatic lipase and a-glucosidase was also evaluated and the results showed that methanol and ethanol extracts markedly reduced both enzyme activities. Therefore, the methanol and ethanol extracts of Jeju camellia mistletoe is definitely worthy of further investigation for these beneficial effects on nutraceutical medicine.
