Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot Department:Biochemistry By: princeoziddyone Project ID: 1992 Rating: (3.2) votes: 11 Price:₦3000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThe study evaluated and compared the free radical scavenging potential of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and Beetroot (Beta vulgaris). The plant extracts were made in concentrations of 10µg/mL, 20µg/mL and 30µg/mL. The radical scavenging abilities were evaluated using Superoxide Scavenging (SOD) Assay, Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging (HRS) Assay and Reducing Power (RP) Assay. Beetroot extract had the highest values for SOD Scavenging ability (60, 30 and 15) × 107 µ/L at different concentrations. HRS values (42.45%, 21.74% and 19.08%) were highest in Turmeric extract. The extract of Beetroot-Turmeric combination showed higher values (3.05%, 2.30% and 1.87%) for Reducing Power Assay respectively. In conclusion, the results suggest that Turmeric and Beetroot in their natural form are rich sources of antioxidant and possess free radical scavenging activities even at a minimal concentration. ...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»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa
