Coccoloba uvifera (L.) (Polygonaceae) Fruit: Phytochemical Screening and Potential Antioxidant Activity by Maira Rubi Segura Campos, Jorge Ruiz Ruiz, Luis Chel-Guerrero, David Betancur Ancona

“…Antioxidant compounds are now of considerable interest due to their effect of preventing or delaying aging and their apparent involvement in prevention of numerous human diseases, including cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, inflammation, and rheumatoid arthritis. In this work, the fruit of Coccoloba uvifera (L.) was investigated for their in vitro antioxidant capacity using two assays based on reactions with a relatively stable single reagent radical (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, TEAC; and DPPH free radical scavenging assay, DPPH), two assays based on chelating of metallic cations, and one based on the reduction of oxidized species. …”
