Abstract

Flowers of Dendrobium orchids (Dendrobium lindleyi Steud., Dendrobium crumenatum Sw. and Dendrobium aphyllum (Roxb.) Fischer.) from Maejo University were investigated for total contents of phenolic and flavonoid compounds using folin-ciocalteu's reagent and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods. Their antioxidant activity was also performed using 2, 2-dyphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging method. The results showed that Dendrobium lindleyi Steud. exhibited the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents (39.81 mgGAE/g extract and 137.68 mgQE/g extract, respectively) and antioxidant activity
(IC50 = 0.21 mg/mL). There was a strong correlation (r=-0.925) between total phenolic compound content with antioxidant activity and intermediate correlation (r=-0.693) between total flavonoid content with antioxidant activity. The findings suggested that Dendrobium orchids may be a potential source of natural antioxidants especially with Dendrobium lindleyi Steud.
