  • Title: In vitro antioxidant activity and scavenging effects of Cinnamomum verum leaf extract assayed by different methodologies.
    Author: Mathew S, Abraham TE.
    Journal: Food Chem Toxicol; 2006 Feb; 44(2):198-206. PubMed ID: 16087283.
    Abstract:
    The free radical scavenging capacity and antioxidant activities of the methanolic extract of Cinnamomum verum leaf (CLE) were studied and compared to antioxidant compounds like trolox, butylated hydroxyl anisole, gallic acid and ascorbic acid. The CLE exhibited free radical scavenging activity, especially against DPPH radical and ABTS radical cation. They also exhibited reducing power and metal ion chelating activity, along with hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. The peroxidation inhibiting activity of CLE recorded using the linoleic acid emulsion system, showed very good antioxidant activity.
