DPPH SCAVENGING ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC FRACTION OF XYLOPIA AETHIOPICA
Abstract
ABSTRACT
activity could open new avenues for utilizing Xylopia aethiopicain the
adverse effects of irradiation. This study carried out the DPPH scavenging activity
of ethanolic extracts of Xylopia aethiopica. The Xylopia aethiopicawas obtained
reported that the plant increases antioxidant defense and protects rats from the
solvent. DPPH scavenging assay method was carried out on the ethanolic extracts
the formation of a violet which turned yellow. Understanding the scavenging
from Otefe-Ogharaand the skin extract extracted using Ethanol as extraction
Plants contain numerous antioxidants which help to confer protection against free
plants in the form of secondary metabolites. Xylopia aethiopicabelonging to the
aethiopicaextract has been reported to possess antioxidant activity. It has been
of the Xylopia aethiopicaand the result confirms the presence of antioxidants via
genus Xylopia(Annonaceae) is a tropical evergreen tree bearing aromatic seeds.X.
radicals associated diseases. The antioxidant compounds are mostly produced in
pharmaceutical and biotechnological field
