Effect of ethanol in ultrasonic assisted extraction technique on antioxidative properties of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) leaves

The leaves of Passiflora edulis (Passion fruit) traditionally used in American countries as a folk medicine to treat both anxiety and nervousness. They are rich in polyphenols which have been reported as natural antioxidants. In this study, five concentrations of ethanol (15%, 30%, 45%, 60% and 75...

In this study, five concentrations of ethanol (15%, 30%, 45%, 60% and 75%) were used in the extraction of P. edulis leaves extracted using ultrasonic-assisted technique.

The extract obtained by 75% ethanol showed the highest antioxidant activity by DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay (85.17 ± 0.36%) and Ferric Thiocyanate (FTC) test where the absorbance obtained was 0.09 ± 0.00.
