Full Length Research Paper
Abstract
Four Iranian plants (pomegranate, khakshir, shevid, and chaye-shomal), already known to have various medicinal properties since several decades ago, were evaluated for their antioxidant compounds. Most of these bioactive properties correlating with antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds found in the plants. The high-performance liquid chromatography analysis was used in pomegranate juice and methanol extracts of the rest of the samples. Based on applied reference compounds which are gallic acid, vanilic acid, ascorbic acid, quercetin, caffeic acid, catechin and coumaric acid; khakshir and chaye-shomal demonstrated some high comparable peaks. Both pomegranate and shevid showed very low peaks in this area, indicating another phenolic compounds imposed by these plants.
Key words: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), phenolic, antioxidant, medicinal plants.
