Radical Scavenging Activity, Total Phenol Content and Antifungal Activity of Cinnamomum Iners Wood
The study was done to investigate the antioxidant, total phenol content and antifungal characteristics of phenolics compounds of extracts from Cinnamomum iners (Reinw. ex Blume-Lauraceae) wood. Radical scavenging activity method of DPPH was used to determine antioxidant activity of the extracts. Fou...

| description | The study was done to investigate the antioxidant, total phenol content and antifungal characteristics of phenolics compounds of extracts from Cinnamomum iners (Reinw. ex Blume-Lauraceae) wood. Radical scavenging activity method of DPPH was used to determine antioxidant activity of the extracts. Four fungus, namely white fungi (Pycnoporus sanguineus, Trametes versicolor, Fomitopsis palustris) and brown fungi (Gleophyllum trabeum) were used to determine the antifungal activity of the Cinnamomum iners extracts. The results showed that ethanol extract had the highest antioxidant activity with EC50 value of 14.96 µg/mL followed by chloroform extract with EC50 >30 µg/mL while water extract did not show any significant antioxidant activity. For total phenolics content, ethanol extract resulted on the highest value of 56.23%, followed by chloroform extract and water extract having total phenolic values of 51.13% and 7% respectively. On the other hand for antifungal assay, ethanol extract produce the widest inhibition zone followed by chloroform extract and water extract respectively. |
