hi, I want to perform the antioxidant activity in vitro with DPPH, should I dissolve my crude extracts in methanol since DPPH is dissolved in methanol or should I dissolve each crude extract in its extraction solvent?
Although DPPH isn't soluble in water, the aqueous solutions of both methanol and ethanol could be used as solvent in DPPH assay. When you use pure water as solvent it will be mixed with the methanol of DPPH solution allowing the transfer of electrons from antioxidants to DPPH radicals.
Duried Alwazeer Bruno Luis Ferreira i have ethanolic, acétonic crude extracts can i dissolved them on their solvant of extraction and dissolved dpph on méthanol ?
