The present investigation was performed to evaluate the effect of extraction methods
(reflux and stirring) and solvent concentrations on total phenolics, flavonoids, and
antioxidant activity as % inhibition, metal chelating activity, and phosphomolybdenum
assay of normal maize (NM) and QPM. These compounds can be water-soluble,
insoluble or bound to the cell wall and making extraction difficult. Thus, extraction
plays an important role in the quantification of antioxidant activity. Results revealed
that the quality protein maize (QPM) extracts possess higher flavonoids and metal
chelating activity than NM, prepared using the stirring method. A significant correlation
was found between phenolics and antioxidative activity for both varieties and
methods.
Practical applications
Maize, as being an excellent source of bioactive compounds having beneficial effects
on human health have great potential to reduce free radicals and protect the body
from chronic diseases. Therefore, maize products can also be regarded as functional foods
