Ocimum sanctum Linn, Ocimum bascilicum Linn, which have been normally used in traditional puja at every Indian Hindu home, was estimated by three different methods: ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, improved ABTS radical cation decolorization assay, and DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Additionally, their total phenolic contents were analyzed by Folin-Ciocalteau micro method. The result showed that Ocimum bascilicum seemed to be better sources of antioxidant compounds, followed by Ocimum sanctum, respectively. Total phenolic content analysis, were significantly related to those of FRAP, ABTS, DPPH.

Abstract


Ocimum sanctum Linn, Ocimum bascilicum Linn, which have been normally used in traditional puja at every Indian Hindu home, was estimated by three different methods: ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, improved ABTS radical cation decolorization assay, and DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Additionally, their total phenolic contents were analyzed by Folin-Ciocalteau micro method. The result showed that Ocimum bascilicum seemed to be better sources of antioxidant compounds, followed by Ocimum sanctum, respectively. Total phenolic content analysis, were significantly related to those of FRAP, ABTS, DPPH.
