Sardinian honeys obtained from different floral sources (Arbutus, Asphodelus, Eucalyptus, Thistle, and Sulla) were evaluated for their ability to inhibit tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase enzymes and for their antioxidant activity. Physicochemical parameters, total phenolic, and flavonoids content were also determined. Honey from Arbutus flowers had the highest antioxidant activity followed by Eucalyptus and Thistle ones. These three honeys showed good tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase inhibition properties. Thus, these Sardinian honeys could have a great potential as antioxidant sources for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
对从不同花卉来源(杨梅、日光兰、桉树、蓟和小冠花)获得的撒丁岛蜂蜜进行了评估,以测定其抑制酪氨酸酶和黄嘌呤氧化酶的能力以及抗氧化活性。还测定了其理化参数、总酚和黄酮含量。杨梅花蜂蜜的抗氧化活性最高,其次是桉属植物蜂蜜和蓟蜂蜜。这三种蜂蜜表现出良好的酪氨酸酶和黄嘌呤氧化酶抑制特性。因此,这些撒丁岛蜂蜜作为药物和化妆品应用的抗氧化剂来源具有巨大潜力。
