甘薯叶中清除自由基活性物质的提取·保存与定性分析(英文)

[Objective] The research aimed to provide reference for the application of extracts from sweet potato leaves in anti-aging cosmetics. [Method] The extraction and storage conditions for free radicals scavenging substances from sweet potato leaves were optimized by orthogonal test and the bioactive components in extracts were investigated by correlation analysis. [Result] Sweet potato leaves contain the bioactive substances scavenging DPPH free radical and hydroxyl free radical. Extracting solvent species is the most important factor that influencing extraction yield. The optimal extraction and storage conditions are as following: water as solvent,pH 8.0 of extracting liquid,storage at 25 ℃. There is a good positive linear relationship between the content of total phenols in sweet potato leaves and corresponding scavenging rates against both the DPPH free radical and hydroxyl free radical. For the content of total flavones in sweet potato leaves,just a correlation with scavenging rate against hydroxyl free radical shown in test. [Conclusion] The phenols in extracts could effectively scavenge both the DPPH free radical and hydroxyl free radical,whereas the flavones in extracts can only function on the hydroxyl free radical.
