Abstract

Biological activities such as antioxidant, anticoagulant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects of 40% (v/v) ethanolic extract from black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) flower were investigated. The polyphenol content of the black locust flower extract was 39.8±0.5 mg gallic acid equivalents/g. The flower extract represented antioxidant effects such as free radical, cationic radical, and nitrite scavenging abilities as well as reducing power. Also the flower extract inhibited α-glucosidase activity and common pathway in plasma coagulation system.
