Abstract
The results revealed that Turmeric and Ginger extracts had the high antioxidant efficacy by DPPH assay at IC50 = 0.57±0.01 and 0.61±0.01 mg/mL, respectively., The ABTS assay showed that Turmeric, Ginger and Plai extract had IC50 = 0.22±0.00, 0.23±0.00 and 0.30±0.01 mg/mL, respectively. In addition, turmeric and ginger extracts was determined FRAP value at 105.85±1.99 and 137.94±3.11 mg TE/g sample, respectively. The TPC and TFC of turmeric extract exhibited the highest TPC at 63.07 mg GAE/g sample and TFC at 555.94 mg QE/g sample, respectively. Antibacterial assay was evaluated by agar well diffusion technique against Staphylococcus aureus. It was found that the turmeric extract had the highest activity, with a zone of inhibition at 7.33±0.29 mm. These results indicated that five herbal extracts exhibited both antioxidant and antibacterial effects could be used as ingredients for development in reducing pain product.
