Study on Antioxidant Activities of Lotus Leaves Extract

JI Li-lian

Abstract

In this study the antioxidant activity of lotus leaves has been extensively investigated. The results indicated that methanolic extracts of lotus leaves showed stronger antioxidant activity, which exhibited 74% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid, greater than that of α-tocopherol, but equal to that of BHA. The extracts were separated six fractions by TLC, two of which (Rf=0.88 and Rf=0.80) exhibited remarkable antioxidant activities.
