This research paper reports Central American medicinal plant extracts and their antioxidative capacities. The Sigma Aldrich\u2019s phenolic compounds and total antioxidant assay kits were used to test antioxidants and phenolics in different ethanolic extracts from Theobroma cacao L., Bourreria huanita, and Elettaria cardamomum. The results indicated the presence of different concentrations of total phenolics, with T.cacao having the highest value of 1.36 mM Catechin Equivalents that correlated with high antioxidant values 0.398 nM Trolox. Future studies will investigate the potential active ingredients responsible for this antioxidant activity. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5546,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[289],"tags":[],"coauthors":[290],"class_list":["post-820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bars2022"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5546"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=820"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":946,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820\/revisions\/946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=820"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
