Abstract

Ethylene was measured by gas chromatography to determine total oxyradical scavenging capacity of water extracts for 20 kinds of natural Chinese herbal medicines. The result showed that the water extracts of 20 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines had good antioxidant capacity. Among them, Green tea, Laminaria japonica Aresch, L. japonicaThumb, Carthamus tinctorius L., Semen Persicae, Myristica fraguans, Scutellariabaicalensis Georgi had higher TOSC value and stronger antioxidant capacity. TOSC method was a rapid and sensitive method with better repeatability and it was applicable to preliminary screening of antioxidant capacity of Chinese herbal medicines.

 

Keywords: Chinese herbal medicines, antioxidant capacity, gas chromatography, total oxyradical scavenging capacity
