Screening for Superoxide Dismutase-like Compounds and Its Activators in Extracts of Fruits and Vegetables

Superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like compounds and activators of SOD were screened for in the extracts of fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms by measuring their effects on pyrogallol autoxidation, which is catalyzed by superoxide anion. SOD-like activity was high in aqueous extract of nameko, garlic, brocc...

Zusammenfassung:Superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like compounds and activators of SOD were screened for in the extracts of fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms by measuring their effects on pyrogallol autoxidation, which is catalyzed by superoxide anion. SOD-like activity was high in aqueous extract of nameko, garlic, broccoli, and oriental lettuce. Ethanolic extracts of onion and watermelon could enhance human SOD activity more than 40%.
