Antioxidant properties of selected Etlingera and Zingiber Species (Zingiberaceae) from Borneo Island
In this study, total phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts of rhizomes and stems of four Zingiberaceae (Etlingera belalongensis, Etlingera velutina, Zingiber vinosum and Zingiber pseudopungens) were investigated. Evaluation of antioxidant activity w...
