Title Investigation of Phytochemical and Antioxidant Activity of Different Parts of Sugarcane Planted in Buriram Province
Authors Walaiphan Kraphankhieo, Prasong Srihanam
Abstract

          This work aimed to investigate phytochemicals; phenolics, flavonoids, triterpenoids and sterols in different parts of two cultivars of sugarcane planted in Buriram province. The extracts was prepared by immersing sugarcane samples in ethanol for 48h. The results showed total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total triterpenoid content (TTC) and total sterol content (TSC) were different values depending on parts and cultivars of sugarcane. The tip of K-92 extract contained the highest TPC (280.29 mg GAE/100 g DW ) and TFC (2186.08 mg QE/ 100 g DW), while the highest TTC (39.27 mg QE/ 100 g DW) and TSC (955 .97 mg ChE/100 g DW) were found in the rind of Khon Kaen 3. Moreover, TPC and TFC revealed positively correlations with DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays. This suggested that the phytochemical reflects by planted area, parts and cultivars of plant. The results revealed that sugarcane is a good source of phytochemical and would be further applied for health benefits.
