Se determinó la actividad antioxidante de los hidrodestilados de cuatro variedades de Ocimum colectadas en Ibagué, evaluando su capacidad atrapadora del radical DPPH (CARL) y el poder inhibitorio de peroxidación lipídica. Bioprospección de estos extractos naturales de la región se aumentó evaluando su potencial antimicrobial frente a bacterias gram positivas, gram negativas y una levadura. Todos los aceites esenciales mostraron fuerte actividad antioxidante (CARL) comparable a la del tocoferol y actividad antimicrobial frente a Candida albicans, principalmente de las albahacas crespa morada y canela. The antioxidant activity of the hydrodistilleds of four Ocimum varieties growing in Ibagué, was determined by means of both, DPPH radical scavenging activity (FRSA) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation, methods. Bioprospection research with regard these regional natural extracts was increased through the evaluation of the antimicrobial potential against Gram positives,Gram negatives bacteria and a yeast. All the essential oils showed strong antioxidant activity (FRSA) comparable with that of ¿-tocopherol and antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, mainly exhibited by purple rufle and cinnamon basils. |
