Abstract:

In order to study the synergistic antioxidant activity of three types of berry anthocyanins, the DPPH free radical scavenging rate was used as an indicator. The uniform experimental design method was used to optimize the synergistic antioxidant combination of three types of berry anthocyanins. After statistical analysis and mathematical regression model fitting, the optimal combination was obtained: Vaccinium uliginosum L. anthocyanin (DP), Ribes nigrum L. anthocyanin (HP), and Lonicera caerulea L. var. edulis Turcz. ex Herd. anthocyanin (LP) with optimal concentrations of 0.08 mg/mL, 0.14 mg/mL, and 0.18 mg/mL, respectively. The actual scavenging rate of DPPH free radicals was (97.67±0.51)%, which was close to the theoretical expected value of 100%, indicating the feasibility of the optimized combination. Through synergistic effect analysis, the CI values of the synergistic effect index for clearing DPPH free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals in the optimal combination were 0.297 and 0.651, respectively, further indicating that the purified anthocyanins of DP, HP, and LP have significant synergistic antioxidant effects. The research results can provide a basis for the development of natural antioxidant products and small berry functional products.
