Abstract

In this study, antioxidant activity of aerial parts of Teucrium chamaedrys subsp.  chamaedrys decoction and infusion were studied. The antioxidant activities were analyzed based 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, β-carotene linoleic acid assays, and cupric (Cu2+) ion reducing power assay (CUPRAC). Infusion and decoction extracts at the concentration of 100 µg/mL, demonstrated higher antioxidant activity (86.5% and 84.1%, recpectively) than synthetic antioxidants (81.1%, BHA and 78.8%, BHT) in DPPH scavenging assay. Our results indicate that T. chamaedrys subsp.  chamaedrys tea can be a promising source of natural antioxidant agent.

Türkiye’ de Yetişen Teucrium chamaedrys subsp. chamaedrys Türünün Demleme ve Kaynatma Örneklerinin Antioksidan Aktivitesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Teucrium chamaedrys subsp.  chamaedrys türünün toprak üstü kısımlarının demleme ve kaynatma örneklerinin antioksidan aktivitesi çalışılmıştır. Antioksidan aktivite analizinde, 2,2-difenil-1-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH) radikal giderme aktivitesi, β-karoten linoleik asit ve kuprik (Cu+2) iyonu indirgeme antioksidan kapasite (CUPRAC) yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. 100 µg/mL konsatrasyonda, DPPH radikal süpürücü kapasite yöntemi sonuçlarına göre, sentetik antioksidanlara (%81.1, BHA ve %78.8, BHT) kıyasla, demleme ve kaynatma örneklerinin (%86.5 ve %84.1, sırasıyla), daha yüksek antioksidan aktivite gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.  Elde edilen bu sonuçlar, T. chamaedrys subsp.  chamaedrys türünün çay örneklerinin doğal antioksidan kaynağı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
