Özet:

This study was designated to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity of MeOH extracts of Allium tuncelianum and to determined total phenolic content (TPC) of MeOH extract of this plant. The sample was subjected to screening for their possible antioxidant activity by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picriylhydrazyl (DPPH) and β-carotene/linoleic acid assays. The MeOH extract was found to posses weak antioxidant activity. In the case of linoleic acid system, oxidation of the linoleic acid was moderately inhibited by the methanol extract (51.1 ± 5.5 %). Also, in the MeOH extract of A. tuncelianum, we have determined TPC in value of 4.8 ± 1.30 mg/g. Our results showed that MeOH extract of A. tuncelianum was exhibited more weak antioxidant activity than the synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), curcumin, and ascorbic acid.
