DETERMINATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF 10% SOLUTION OF PROTOPLASM

Аннотация

Antioxidants are widely used in industry, agriculture, food technology, pharmaceutical production. They protect the product against adverse environmental effects (oxidative processes), ensuring their stability.

The important task is to produce ecologically pure, healthy and needful food products, and among most important of course is provision of safe meat products.

Therefore, in breeding and veterinary in general, the priority should be given to search and use of medicines of natural origin that have high biological activity, less adverse effects and genetic affinity to the living organism. In recent years, herbal preparations have been introduced in the Georgian pharmaceutical market, which are derived from natural raw materials. These products are “DAS”, “Rumifos” and “Protoplasma”, 10% solution for injection. “Protoplasma” 10% injection solution is prepared using concentrate “DAS”.

Due to the presence of many biologically active substances in product, we have been interested to study if the positive effects of oxidative stress, serotonin (pleasure hormone) concentration growth dynamics in domestic birds is associated with its antioxidant activity. Therefore, the aim of our study at first stage was to determine the antioxidant activity of the product “Protoplasma” 10% solution for injection.

The research method was well-established reaction of the analytical samples with reagent DPPH and determination of their optical density (ABS) by spectrophotometric method at a wavelength l= 517 nm. The study data shows that antioxidant activity of samples varies from 17.94% to 26.48%.

Probably unstable data are caused by varieties in product content, which are the main characteristic of products of plant origin. In addition, the product is a complex heterogeneous system and its antioxidant potential predominantly is due to the heterocyclic bioactive molecules synergism can be explained.
