2011
Norra Ismail
Methanol extracts of leaves from Ficus deltoidea accessions, MFD4 & MFD6, were examined for phenolic constituents and free radical scavenging activity, to determine their potential as a source of natural antioxidants. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were evaluated according to the Folin-Ciocalteau procedure and a colorimetric method respectively. The results showed that total phenolic compounds and flavonoid content were higher in MFD6 than MFD4. Antiradical activity determined in terms of per cent inhibition by the DPPH radical scavenging method was higher in MFD4 than MFD6.
