  • Antioxidant activity of mandarin (Citrus reticulata) peel
    Tumbas Šaponjac, Vesna ...
    Mandarin peel, a waste product coming from juice production, was extracted by conventional extraction with 70% acetone. Content of flavonoids in mandarin peel extract (MPE) was determined by HPLC. ... Hesperidin was the most dominant flavonoid. Free radical scavenging activity of MPE on stable DPPH radicals andreactive hydroxyl radicals was also evaluated. EC50 value determined in spectrophotometrical DPPH radical assay was 0.179 mg/ml, while this value in ESR spin trapping hydroxyl radical assay was 0.415 mg/ml. Also, MPE showed protective effects in stabilising sunflower oil during accelerated storage. The results indicated that mandarin peel can be a valuable source of natural antioxidants.
