Nutritional content and in vitro antioxidant potential of Garcinia atroviridis (Asam gelugor) leaves and fruits.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine antioxidant potential of Garcinia atroviridis leaves and fruits extracts in vitro.

Methods: Antioxidant activity was assessed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Total phenolic content (TPC) of the extracts was estimated as gallic acid equivalent by Folin-Ciocalteau method.
