To better understand their biological functions, the invitro radical scavenging activities of the various fruit juices including the scavenging of the free radicals (Hydrogen peroxide) and reducing power was also determined. These were evaluated along with Vitamin C. Both samples exhibited weaker scavenging activities against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging activities as compared to vitamin C which is used as a positive control. The relative values (µg/100ml) were expressed in increasing order: Orange juice mixed fruit juice pineapple juice apple juice vitamin C by replacement titration. Samples also show weaker reducing power ability when compared to vitamin C. the relative values (µg/100ml) were expressed ion an increasing order: pineapple juice apple juice orange juice mixed fruit juice vitamin C by Oyaizu method. Thus, the data for representative values were presented as mean ± S.E.M. using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The value of P 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Therefore, the results of this work clearly indicate that fruits and vegetable extracts possess powerful antioxidant activity and can be used as an accessible source of natural antioxidants and a possible food supplement, with potential application in the pharmaceutical industry....Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
