Abstract EN
Carissa edulis is a plant used in the management of oxidative stress and inflammatory related disorders such as malaria, rheumatism inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases.
The present study evaluates the total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP), and the bioactive compounds present in the various extracts of C.
edulis (HEC, MEC, AEC, and PC).
An HPLC analysis determined the different compounds present in the extracts.
High concentration of total phenolic content was observed in aqueous and methanolic extracts more than in the hydroethanolic extract though not significantly different.
Flavonoids were higher in the hydroethanolic and methanolic extracts, respectively, with 14.84 mg RE/g extract and 12.02 mg RE/g extract.
Tannins were also found in large amounts in the same two extracts with 26.76 mg TAE/g extract and 34.67 mg TEE/g extract.
The percentage radical scavenging activity DPPH ranged between 58.63% and 94.67% for aqueous extract and for ABTS between 51.39% and 94.12% for the methanolic extract.
The highest FRAP was obtained in the methanolic extract (6.73 g AAE/100 g extract).
HPLC analysis revealed the presence of quercetin, rutin, and gallic acid in the different extracts.
C.
edulis represents a potential source of bioactive components with antioxidant capacity.
