| Abstract | Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) fruit is popular among consumers due to its high nutritive value and good taste. The aim of present study was to characterize the isolated phytoconstituents from pear pulp and peel and evaluate their antioxidant activity. Repeated chromatography of the extracts on silica gel columns using different solvent systems afforded three pure compounds. The compunds named as oleiyl-β-D-hexaglucoside, oleiyl-β-D-tetraglucoside and (Z) icos 9-enoic acid were isolated from methanol pulp, acetone pulp and methanol peel extracts respectively. All three purified compounds were characterized on the basis of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The antioxidant potentials of compounds were measured by 2, 2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and reducing power assays. The compound isolated from peel extract of the fruit showed maximum scavenging activity than the other two compounds. |
