Title
Antioxidative activity of phenol compounds extracted by different solvent systems from cauliflower
Abstract
Phenol compounds were extracted from commercial frozen cauliflower (Hortex company) using acetone-water, ethanol-water, methanol-water (4:1 v/v) and methanol-water (1:1 v/v) solvent system. The amount of phenol compounds was depended on the solvent system used in extraction process and on the extraction time. The antioxidant activity of all extracts was the highest after 24-hour incubation with linoleic acid. The results do not confirm the correlation between the phenol content in obtained extracts and their antioxidant activity.
