Antioxidant substances were extracted from Camellia oleifera Abel leaves with ethanol. Their antioxidant activities were determined and compared with rutin and BHT by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. ECso values of DPPH radical scavenging were determined under wavelength of 517 nm and reaction time of 40 min. The results showed that ethanol extracts from C. oleifera leaves have significant effect on DPPH radical scavenging and the DPPH radical-scavenging efficiency increases with the purification degree of...
