DPPH Antioxidant Activity of 70% Ethanol Extract of Roselle (H. sabdariffa L.) Calyces

Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between reactive species and antioxidant defenses. Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) calyces contain phenolic and flavonoid compounds that may contribute to radical-scavenging activity. This study evaluated the phytochemical profile and DPPH radical-scavenging activity of a 70%...

Comparative phytochemical profiling and bioactivity evaluation of three Indonesian pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel varieties: Antioxidant, antibacterial, and in vitro antiproliferative activities

Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit, prevent, and reduce free radical activity caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is recognized as a valuable source of antioxidants, largely due to the phenolic and flavonoid compounds concentrate...
