Determination and Evaluation of Total Antioxidant Capacity of Oak (Quercus brantii), Thyme (Tymbra spicata), and Watermelon (Citrullus colocynthis) Native of Ilam
Abstract
Background: Flock medicine has become a very important part of people's lives, however, it is not known by countries' rules in some cases. The usage of flock medicine has considerably increased in developed regions, as well, because of the effectiveness problems and the diverse side effects of artificial drugs. This research evaluated the antioxidant activities of Quercus brantii, Thymbra spicata, and Citrullus colocynthis native to Ilam province that nurtures within the west of Iran.
Methods: The total antioxidant capacity of essential oils was measured via ELISA Reader at 570 nm.
Results: The total antioxidant capacities of oak, thyme, and watermelon were 4.1, 2.35, and 0.46 (mmol Fe2+/L), respectively.
Conclusion: The investigated traditional Iranian edible herbs are rich sources of natural antioxidant compounds. As a result, T. spicata and Q. brantii could be used in pharmaceutical and food industries as natural antioxidants and food products.
