DPPH-Based Antioxidant Activity Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antioxidant activity of the extracts were estimated using DPPH in vitro method Mensor et al. [18] (link). Test samples were dissolved separately in methanol to get test solution of 1 mg/mL. Series of extract/ pure components (6-gingerol and 6-shogaol; purchased from (Sigma-Aldrich GmbH, Germany) solutions of different concentrations (100, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 µg/mL) were prepared by diluting with methanol. Assays were performed in 96-well, microtiter plates. 140 µL of 0.6 × 10−6 mol/L DPPH were added to each well containing 70 µL of sample. The mixture was shaken gently and left to stand for 30 min in dark at room temperature. The absorbance was measured spectrophotometrically at 517 nm using Cecil-Elect Spectrophotometer. Blank was done in the same way using methanol and sample without DPPH and control was done in the same way but using DPPH and methanol without sample. Ascorbic acid was used as reference antioxidant compound. Every analyse is done in triplicate. The ability to scavenge DPPH radical was calculated by the following equation: DPPH radical scavenging activity(%)=100-[(Abssample-Absblank)×100]/(Abscontrol)] where

Abssample is the absorbance of DPPH radical + sample;

Absblank is the absorbance of sample + methanol;

Abscontrol is the absorbance of DPPH radical + methanol.

UHPLC Analysis of Ginger Bioactives

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Agilent Model 1200 UHPLC system was used. The 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol were separated on an Agilent C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) reversed-phase column by gradient elution using: (A) water and (B) acetonitrile. The detector wavelength was set at 280 nm. The flow rate and injection volume were 1 mL/min and 20 µL, respectively. Identification of the compounds was achieved by comparison of retention times with standards (6-gingerol and 6-shogaol), UV spectra and UV absorbance ratios after co-injection of samples and standards. 6-gingerol (≥98%, CAS Registry number: 23513-14-6), 6-shogaol (≥90%, CAS Registry number: 555-66-8), 8-gingerol (≥95%, CAS Registry number: 23513-08-8), were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Selangor, Malaysia and 8-shogaol (≥98%, CAS Registry number: 36700-45-5) was purchased from Chem Faces, Wuhan, China. System suitability requirements: at least five replicate injections of 6-and 8-gingerol and shogaol were performed; the requirements of the system suitability parameters are: (1) symmetry factor is not more than 1.5 (2) percentage of relative standard deviation of the retention time for 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol standards is not more than 2.0%.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
