Effect of Various Extracted Solvent on DPPH Radical Scavenging Activity of Natural Rubber

Abstract:

Four types of extracted solvents i.e. mixtures of chloroform:acetone, chloroform:methanol, cyclohexane:acetone and cyclohexane:methanol, in the volume ratio of 4:1 were used to dissolve the natural rubber. Two grades of natural rubber i.e. air dry sheet (ADS) and ribbed smoked sheet No.3 (RSS3) were investigated. The rubber solution was purified by separated the rubber out with methanol. The non-rubber solution was then quantitative analyzed to verify 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity using Oxicount-Antioxidant kit test and also calculated the term of half maximal effective concentration (EC50). The plasticity retention index (PRI) was also investigated in order to compare the ageing properties of the rubber and their antioxidant activity. Furthermore, various rubbers i.e. ADS, RSS3 and Standard Thai Rubber 20 (STR20) were collected during early period of yearly tapping seasons to analyze the DPPH radical scavenging activity and EC50. It was found that the mixture of cyclohexane and methanol showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and lowest EC50. RSS3 showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than that of ADS which the higher antioxidant activity also displayed the higher PRI values. It also found that during the early period of yearly tapping seasons, DPPH radical scavenging activity of RSS3 was found higher than that of ADS and STR20, respectively when extracted by mixture of cyclohexane and methanol.
