The antioxidant and antibacterial activities of six edible plants were evaluated. The active constituents of the edible plants were extracted using boiling water or 80% methanol. Results demonstrated that extraction of antioxidants by boiling water was more efficient. Lycium depressum and Berula angustifolia had the highest antioxidant activities and, therefore, could be rich sources of natural antioxidants. The antibacterial activities of the extracts were tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Entrococcus faecalis and Proteus mirabilis. Further research is needed to isolate, characterize, and identify the bioactive compounds present in these plants.
对六种可食用植物的抗氧化和抗菌活性进行了评估。采用沸水或80%甲醇提取可食用植物的活性成分。结果表明，用沸水提取抗氧化剂更有效。枸杞和细叶扁芒草具有最高的抗氧化活性，因此可能是天然抗氧化剂的丰富来源。测试了提取物对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌、粪肠球菌和奇异变形杆菌的抗菌活性。需要进一步研究以分离、表征和鉴定这些植物中存在的生物活性化合物。
