| Abstract | Rumex dentatus L. (Family: Polygonaceae) is a weedy plant widely distributed in many countries including Egypt. It has been used in the Mediterranean diet as a leafy vegetable and its leaves and roots exhibited various biological activities. In our study, total phenolics, antioxidant capacities assayed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and β-carotene bleaching methods and reducing power were evaluated in different extracts/fractions of leaves and roots of R. dentatus grown in Egypt. In addition, their phenolic compositions were determined by GC-MS and HPLC. The results showed that total phenolic content in the ethyl acetate fractions of leaves and roots were high and measured at 169.5 and 257.4 mg gallic acid equivalent per g extract, respectively. The ethyl acetate fractions of leaves and roots exhibited strong DPPH activity and the DPPH IC$_{50}$ values were 0.021 and 0.012 mg mL$^{−1}$ of leaves and roots, respectively. Furthermore, the ethyl acetate fractions of leaves and roots showed high reducing power and antioxidant activity assayed by β-carotene bleaching method. GC-MS and HPLC analyses indicated that these fractions contained a variety of phenolic compounds including p-hydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid, vanillin, benzoic acid, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid. Our study verified that the ethyl acetate fractions of leaves and roots of R. dentatus have strong antioxidant activities which are correlated with its high levels of phenolic compounds and therefore, they could be utilized as a natural source of antioxidant in food industry. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
