Abstract
This study was to investigate the antioxidant activities of Cryptomeria japonica leaves extracts such as essential oil, methanol extract and hot water extract and to evaluate its potential as a natural antioxidant. Antioxidant activities of extracts were evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity, FRAP activity, zanthin oxidase inhibitory activity, and iron ion chelate activity, comparing with the positive controls. According to the results, methanol and hot water extracts showed higher antioxidant activities than essential oil. This fact suggested that terpenoids have lower antioxidant effect than phenolic compounds which were found in methanol and hot water extracts. Especially, acetone and water soluble fractions of methanol extract and ethanol fraction of hot water extract contained a lot of phenolic compounds and hydroxyl group, indicating that many hydroxyl groups and glycosidic bonds showed higher antioxidant effect than the other fractions. These results can suggest that the phenolic compounds which contained hydroxyl group or glycosidic bonds have a certain role for effective antioxidant activities.
