Abstract
Antioxidant compounds present in the spice Aframomum danielli were isolated and identified. Successive extractions of whole seeds of A. danielli with diethyl ether and methanol yielded diethyl ether extract (ADEE) and methanol extract (ADM), respectively. Similarly, reextraction of the defatted seeds of A. danielli successively with diethyl ether and methanol yielded defatted ADEE (DFADEE) and defatted ADM (DFADM), respectively. When these extracts were added to refined peanut oil (PNO) at 200 p.p.m. and stored for 0-30 days at 65 1C, they showed good antioxidative effects. Percentage antioxidant effectiveness (AE) values were DFADM (87.3) > ADM (85.3) > ADEE (83.4) after 20 days storage. Generally, antioxidant extracts prepared from A. danielli were more effective than BHT, TBHQ and alpha-tocopherol in stabilizing refined PNO. Antioxidant components of A. danielli were tentatively identified as phenolic compounds of the trihydroxy type with reducing properties. All extracts prepared from A. danielli showed strong UV-absorbing characteristics, with methanol being good extracting solvent. [From En summ.]
