Abstract:

Antioxidant activities in vitro of extracts from Pyrola corbieri using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol or water were evaluated by salicylic acid, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·) and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assays under the reference of vitamin C. Results indicated that antioxidant activities of extracts exhibited an obvious difference due to different evaluation methods. Similarly, the antioxidant activities of extracts with different polarities measured by the identical assay method also exhibited a significant difference.

Key words: Pyrola corbieri, antioxidant activity, free radical scavenging activity, reducing power
