Abstract:The total flavonoids in eucalyptus citriodira were extracted and purified by solvent extraction, and the antioxidant activity and purification of crude extract(A) were studied. Total flavonoids in resin were qualitatively identified by hydrochloric acid-zinc powder, concentrated sulfuric acid, ferric chloride and aluminum nitrate. Total flavonoids content(based on the quality of eucalyptus citriodira resin solid powder) was 4.64% by quantitating analysis with rutin as standard substance. B、C、Dpurifications of different purity were obtained by chloroform-butyl acetate, chloroform-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl formamide-chloroform ultrasonic extractions. The total flavonoid mass fraction of B, C, D were 10.39%, 18.03% and 44.15%.The scavenging activities of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-bitter hydrazine (DPPH·), total antioxidant capacity and reduction capacity of A, B, C, Dwere investigated. The scavenging activities of DPPH· were 91.75%, 74.22%, 88.44%, 91.56%; Total antioxidiant activities were 19.99, 1.75, 4.39, 3.79μmol rutin equivalent(RE)/g. The reducing abilities were 1.16,0.36,0.39,0.45μmol RE/g.
