Abstract
The scavenging effects of four extracts on the DPPH radical were increased with increasing amount of extract. However, these effects were not statistically significant. The reducing power of the extracts is increased as the amount of extract is increased. To compare reducing powers of various solvent extracts, 50% ethanol extract showed the highest reducing power. The various solvent extracts were also capable of scavenging nitrite in a manner dependent on concentration. They exhibited scavenging effects 90% on nitrite at the dose 500 p.g of water extract from propolis. The propolis extract significantly inhibited all the microorganisms tested, showing the largest inhibitory zone for Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. The 70% ethanol extract from propolis exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on A549. The inhibitory effect of four extracts showed in that order 70% ethanol extract>95% ethanol extract>water extract>50% ethanol extract.
