초록

The present study was to investigate the in vitro antioxidant potential of hot water extract and its fractions from dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water (H2O) of castor-aralia (Kalopanax pictus) leaves using different antioxidant tests. Among these crude extract and fractions, EtOAc fraction exhibited higher antioxidant potency than others in 1, 1-diphenyl-2-pricylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, reducing power assay, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity. However, CH2Cl2 fraction showed higher hydroxyl radical scavenging and DNA damage protective activity. This work demonstrates the potential of castor-aralia leaves as antioxidant functional food ingredients.
