Antioxidant Activity, Phenol and Flavonoid Contents of Fourteen Mulberry Varieties Leaves

Abstract:

Water extracts of leaves from fourteen (14) mulberry varieties growing in China were investigated for their antioxidant activity by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. DPPH scavenging activities ranged from 34.60% to 61.70%. Total phenolic content of mulberry leaf (based on the Folin-Ciocalteu method) varied from 14.00 to 43.67 mg gallic acid equivalent/g leaf, and flavonoid content (based on the colorimetric aluminum nitrate method) varied from 4.02 to 28.32 mg rutin equivalent/g leaf. There was a significant linear relationship between the total phenolic and/or flavonoid content and the antioxidant activity in mulberry leaf extracts.
