Cardinal investigation on phenolic and antioxidant content analysis of mixed fruit juices marketed in Bangladesh

Fresh fruits convenient source of natural phenols and antioxidants which are healthy for human. At present many marketed fruit juices claims to be salubrious also full of phenols and antioxidants. In this study enlighten on investigation of phenols and antioxidant. Five mixed fruits juices were collected from Bangladeshi market for investigation. For the phenolic contents determination modified Folin–Ciocalteu and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) modified method for antioxidant analysis was applied. The value of phenolic content was S1 (43.88±0.51), S2 (54.29±0.55), S3 (79.97±1.15), S4 (69.97±1.02) and S5 (57.70±0.78) respectively. On basis of the IC50value was S1 (81.59±1.20), S2 (49.91±0.85), S3 (28.75±0.76), S4 (24.44±0.67) and S5 (61.075±0.95) respectively. This study signifies the determination of phenolic contents and antioxidants presence in mixed fruit juices with substantial activeness.
