Title: Antioxidative Activities of Corn Silk Extracts
Abstract: Five components with different polarities in the ethanol extracts of corn silk were obtained by using chloroform,ethyl acetate,n-butanol and methanol as extractant,respectively.The anti-oxidative activities of the five extractions were compared in two systems,DPPH system and Fe~(2+)inducing PUFA system.N-butanol extract had the strongest scavenging activity to DPPH free radicals,and the next was chloroform extraction.The anti-oxidative activity of chloroform extract in the Fe~(2+) inducing PUFA system was the strongest,followed by ethyl acetate extract.The same extract had different anti-oxidative activities in these two systems.
