Antioxidant potential of non-oil seed legumes of Indonesian’s ethnobotanical extracts
This study investigated the in vitro antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC and FRAP), total phenolic content and flavonoid content of extracts from three non-oil seed legumes (Phaseolus lunatus red and white, and Canavalia ensiformis), local edible seeds from Indonesia, obtained using different...

Summary: | This study investigated the in vitro antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC and FRAP), total phenolic content and flavonoid content of extracts from three non-oil seed legumes (Phaseolus lunatus red and white, and Canavalia ensiformis), local edible seeds from Indonesia, obtained using different solvent system (distilled water, 70% ethanol, and 100% ethanol). The variety of legume was a major source of variation in the phenolic contents, flavonoid content and antioxidant activity. HPLC analysis of the non-oil seed legume extracts identified gallic acid, epicatechin and coumaric acid. Among the varieties of non-oil seed legume extracts, the phenolic content varied from 15.21–38.60 mg gallic acid equivalents/g dry weight and the flavonoid content was 11.73–24.61 mg catechin equivalents/g dry weight. The antioxidant activity of the extracts suppressed the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cellular damage induced by UV-B in HaCaT cells. These results showed that antioxidant activity (1.83–19.42% of inhibition DPPH; 2.99–37.29% of inhibition ABTS; 0.20–2.47 µM CUPRAC value; and 0.96–1.10 µM of FRAP value) of extracts possessed strong radical scavenging activity as well as inhibited ROS generation in a dose-dependent manner without showing any cytotoxicity. Collectively, the data presented that antioxidant of the extracts have potent antioxidant activity and decreasing ROS generation in HaCaT cells. It can be intimately used as alternative criterion for antioxidant and antiradical activities that can be utilized as a functional food and nutraceutical ingredients. |
