DPPH (1,1-diphenyl2-picrylhydrazyl) is a stable free radical because of its spare electron delocalization over the whole molecule. The DPPH assay, is one of the best-known, frequently employed, and accurate methods. The delocalization of DPPH results in a deep violet color with λmax around 520 nm. When a solution of DPPH is mixed with a substrate acting as a hydrogen atom donor, a stable non-radical form of DPPH is obtained with a simultaneous change of the violet color to pale yellow[1].
DPPH assay has been successfully utilized for investigating antioxidant properties of wheat grain and bran, vegetables, conjugated linoleic acids, herbs, edible seed oils, and flours in several different solvent systems including ethanol, aqueous acetone, methanol, aqueous alcohol, and benzene [2,3]. DPPH assay is a convenient method for the antioxidant assay of cysteine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, tocopherol, and polyhydroxy aromatic compounds [4], for olive oil, fruits, juices and wines [5].

The DPPH free radical scavenging activities of the extracts were analyzed. DPPH solution (40 μg mL-1) was prepared in methanol. To each well on a microtiter plate was added 20 μL of sample (in triplicate) of appropriate concentration (1000, 500, 100, 50, and 10 μg mL-1) and 180 μL of DPPH solution. As a negative control, 20 μL of methanol was used instead of a sample. BHA, BHT, and ascorbic acid (AA) were used as positive controls. The reaction plates were kept in the dark at 37℃ for 30 minutes, after which the absorbance was measured at 517 nm using Multiskan Sky Thermo Scientific Microtiter plate reader. The inhibition of DPPH radicals in the test sample was calculated using the following formula and expressed as a percentage (%):

Where Ab is the absorbance of negative control (without sample) and As is the absorbance of the sample at different concentration and the positive controls, as well. The results are presented as the mean of percentage of DPPH radicals inhibition ± standard error.
