Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant values of twelve selected Malaysian wood species. Bark and heartwood were extracted with toluene: industrial methylated spirit (Tol: IMS) and evaluated for antioxidant activity. Folin–Ciocalteu reagent was used to determine the total antioxidant activity and total phenols of plant extracts. Free radical scavenging activity was evaluated using 2,2-dipheny-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Extractive yields, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content varied among wood species. N. heimii had the highest extractive yields (23.50 and 9.16 %), antioxidant (93.60 and 83.78 %) and total phenolic content (29.11 and 24.11 mgGAE/g) for bark and heartwood, respectively. The results provided promising evidence that those tropical timbers may be useful as potential sources of natural antioxidants and could be used as drug formulations.
