    IN VITRO ANTIOXYDANT ACTIVITY AND TOTAL PHENOLIC CONTENT OF EXTRACTS FROM THE ENDEMIC ARGANIA SPINOSA (L.) SKEELS FROM ALGERIAN SAHARA
    (university of el oued/جامعة الوادي, 2019-01-01) Oughilas, A; Cheriti, A; Reddy, K. H; Govender, P
    The BuOH fractions prepared from 80% MeOH extract of the leaves from the endemic Saharan tree Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels exhibited the most potent antioxidant capacity ( IC50 = 2.41 ± 0.38 g/mL for DPPH and 7.95 ± 0.54 g/mL for superoxide anion radical), compared to the EtOAc and CHCl3 fractions. The results showed that BuOH extract fraction exhibited a strong antioxidant activity and had the most potent scavenging abilities which may be correlated to the presence of Phenolic compounds.
