Estimation of plant extraction yield, total phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant capacity and reducing power of Alnus nitida bark

Sample Yield (g)* Total phenolic contents expressed as gallic acid equivalents (mg/g of extract) Total flavonoid contents expressed as rutin equivalents (mg/g of extract) Total antioxidant capacity expressed as ascorbic acid equivalents (mg/g of extract) Total reducing power expressed as ascorbic acid equivalents (mg/g of extract)
ANM 86 631.5 ± 1.7 221.5 ± 2.5 32.6 ± 1.2a 125.5 ± 5.0a,b
ANH 7 0.00 0.00 3.5 ± 0.5c 36.0 ± 2.6d
ANC 24 527 ± 3.1 98.6 ± 1.61 7.6 ± 0.9c 45.5 ± 3.3d
ANE 21 607 ± 1.97 211.2 ± 2.4 19.0 ± 0.6b 113.1 ± 2.7b,c
ANA 33 591.2 ± 1.3 114.8 ± 1.8 16.5 ± 1.1b 102.0 ± 3.3c

Values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Means with different superscript (a–f) letters in column are significantly (P < 0.01) different from each other. * Yield of ANM is based on the dry powder; the yield of its fractions is based on the yield of ANM
