antioxidant effect

Total phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant activity of thalictrum foetidum

The objective of the present study was to determine the total content of phenolics and flavonoids in extracts of Thalictrum foetidum. The total phenolic content was estimated spectrophotometrically using Folin Ciocalteu method. The total content of flavonoids was determined by spectrophotometric analysis, based on the measurement of the absorption of the complex of aluminum chloride with flavonoids. The antioxidant effects of the extracts Thalictrum foetidum were investigated.
