| Summary: | The aim of this study was to determine phenolic
compounds and antioxidant capacity of extract prepared
from Mangifera indica waterlily kernel. Acidified
methanolic extract prepared from M. indica waterlily kernel
was analyzed. The total phenolic content was determined by
the Folin_Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant activity was
measured by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)
radical scavenging activity and ferric-reducing antioxidant
power (FRAP) assays. Characterization of phenolic
compounds was conducted using HPLCDAD and TSQ-ESIMS
and Peak identities were confirmed by comparing their
retention times, UV_vis absorption spectra, and mass
spectra with authentic standards. The total phenolic content
of M. indica waterlily kernel was 8.6 mg GAE/g DW. The
seeds extract showed a strong potency of antioxidant activity as confirmed by the DPPH radical scavenging activity, and FRAP assays. Epigallocatechin (EGC), chlorogenic acid, apiginin, and epicatechin were the major compounds among the 12 phenolics that have been identified and quantified in M. indica waterlily kernel with 21.8, 13.7, 3.2 and 2.7 mg/g M. indica waterlily kernel, respectively. The 12 phenolic compounds identified in M. indica waterlily kernel using HPLCDAD and TSQ-ESI-MS had high antioxidant activity and should be considered as a prospective antioxidant. |
