Abstract
The aim of this research was to assay the phenolic and flavonoid content of ethanolic, methanolic and water extracts of Azilia eryngioides and its related antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Total phenolic, flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and beta carotene linoleic acid of extracts were spectrophotometrically determined. The antimicrobial activity was determined by micro broth dilution assay. The total phenolic content was measured in highest amount in Azilia eryngioides ethanolic (79.32 mg GAC/g) and methanolic extracts (64.23 mg GAC/g), respectively. The antioxidant activity was higher in Azilia eryngioides ethanolic extract. The antimicrobial evaluation exhibited that the ethanolic extract had the best antimicrobial activity than that of two other extracts. This study has been demonstrated the positive correlation between the total phenolic content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in Azilia eryngioides ethanolic extract.
