Abstract

This research studied effects of drying methods and extraction conditions on total phenolic and flavonoid content and antioxidant activities of Helicteres isora L. extracts by testing three antioxidant activities were DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power and metal chelating activity. The extracts from overexposuring to the sun and drying at 170 oC exhibited the highest total phenolic content of all solvent extracts, excepted 95% ethanol extract. The extracts from drying at 150 oC exhibited the highest flavonoid content in ethanol extract. The flavonoid content of aqueous extracts were depended on drying temperature. To determine antioxidant activities, reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging activity increased when the drying temperature was increased. The total phenolic content also showed good influence to antioxidant activities, reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging activity as evidenced by the correlation coefficient value of 0.9785 and 0.8115. All 70% ethanol extracts showed the highest metal chelating activity. The metal chelating activity also showed moderate correlation to the total phenolic content but very low correlations to total flavonoid content.Keywords :  total phenolic content, flavonoid content, antioxidant, Helicteresisora L.
