Hi every one
I have a crud methanolic extract, I want to know what antioxidants compounds are in it , they can be sugars and enzymes?

Greetings Fatima,
There are many antioxidants compounds/enzymes found in fruits. However, fruit enzymes mostly are not bio-active in our body, in contrast to other compounds. In this regard, phenolics are the most important bio-active compounds beside vitamins as C, E and A. Also, some minerals such as selenium are also involved.
The methanolic extract certainly contains sugar linked to flavonoid compounds and polyphenols. It certainly contains enzymes
Yes, off course it contains enzymes. But I mean bio-activity in human body. Is their any information on bio-availability/activity of fruit enzymes in human body?
Generally fruit contained many vitamins A; E; C…., Fibers, trace elements and some bioactive compounds. Also, the plant contained different bioactive compounds depend on the extract’s method and phase used. For example chloroform extract contained Alkaloids compounds. While n-butanol extract contained Polyphenol and flavonoids. The ethyl acetate contained flavonoids, caffeoylquinic acids; terpenoids, polysaccharide…...
The enzimes from frumos are proteic substanțe like enzimes from human body. She is activate in amilaze presence par example and enzyma from fruits now is analog digestive enzima from human body
Vitamin A, C and E are common non phenolic antioxidants found in fruits. Other carotenoids and some organic acids also have antioxidant properties .
Enzymes from fruits are proteins . În the human body they are activated like digestive enzymes from the body. Vitamines is not pilyphenols. Some organic acids not are polyphenols.
Even the antioxidant enzymes such as peroxidase, SOD, Catalase,... etc will be activated as digestive enzymes? May be this idea hold true for hydrolytic enzymes as polygalactornase, a-amylase,...etc.
Phenolic compounds are a group that have antioxidant properties. Fruits and vegetables contain pigments and enzymes and vitamins that can have antioxidant properties. The antioxidant capacity is a feature.
