Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was carried out for the analysis of chemical composition and antioxidative activity of lotus leaf. The lotus leaf contained 63.8% of crude carbohydrate, 16.9% of crude protein, 1.0% crude fat, and 9.3% of crude ash including high amount of calcium (2.2%). The antioxidative effect of several solvents extracts of lotus leaf was investigated. Among them 70% ethanol extract showed relatively higher extraction yield and higher total phenol content as well as the highest electron-donating ability using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydroxyl.
