DPPH Radical Scavenging, Phenolic and Antimicrobial Activity of Momordica charantia and Rheum ribes

Abstract

Guder, Aytac/0000-0002-1190-8749WOS: 000438848100055In this study was to investigate total phenolic contents, 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH center dot), antimicrobial and antifungal activity by using different extract of Momordica charantia and Rheum ribes. The extraction applied to different part of Momordica charantia as husk and fruit and Rheum ribes as blossom and stem. Three different were used extraction solvent such as hexane, ethanol and water/acetic acid (1%). The highest radical scavenging activity was observed in ethanol extract of rhubarb blossom, acetic acid (1%) extract of rhubarb showed remarkable radical scavenging activity and the highest phenolic content value was observed acetic acid (1%) extracts of bitter melon. The highest antimicrobial efficacy against C. albicans was provided by the ethanol extract of the part of crust of Momordica charantia and acetic acid-water extraction of the blossom of Rheum ribes.Giresun UniversityGiresun University [FEN-BAP-A-160317-45]This study was supported by Giresun University (FEN-BAP-A-160317-45) Scientific Research Project
