2.4.2 Determination of polyphenol content
The
content
of polyphenol was determined by a
Folin
phenol reagent according to the method of Liu et al.( Liu et al., 2019).
Weigh accurately 0.1g of stem sample, placed in a 100mL Erlenmeyer
flask, add 50mL of 70% ethanol, shake for 4 hours, filter, and the
filtrate was dilute to 100mL. Accurately measure 1 mL of the extract,
add 0.3 mL of FC reagent, and mix for 5 min. Add 1.5 mL of saturated
sodium carbonate solution, add water to a volume of 10 mL, shake for 30
min in a 30℃ water-bath. Then, the absorbance was measured at 760 nm.
The standard curve is made with gallic acid.
