1.2. Antioxidant pathway

The antioxidant effect of Cistanche deserticola ma mainly manifests in the following ways:

(1) Free radical scavenging

The polysaccharides, flavonoids, and other components in Cistanche deserticola can scavenge free radicals, which can inhibit the oxidation reaction by capturing and neutralizing free radicals. In addition, components such as Echinoside and Acteoside can also scavenge free radicals to a certain extent.

(2) Promote antioxidant enzyme activity

Cistanche deserticola is rich in various antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and so on. These enzymes can accelerate the termination of oxidation reaction and reduce the degree of oxidation reaction through their respective enzymatic reactions.

2、 Antioxidant Experiment of Cistanche deserticola

2.1 Experiment on DPPH free radical scavenging ability of Cistanche deserticola

The DPPH free radical scavenging ability experiment is an important method for evaluating antioxidant activity. Its basic principle is to use DPPH free radicals to capture the free radicals at the top of Cistanche deserticola and observe the color changes after the disappearance. The faster the disappearance, the stronger the DPPH free radical scavenging ability of Cistanche deserticola, and the stronger its antioxidant capacity.

The experimental results showed that the DPPH free radical scavenging ability of Cistanche deserticola showed a significant increasing trend, and gradually increased with the increase of concentration. At a maximum concentration of 5 mg/mL, the DPPH free radical scavenging rate can be as high as 83.55%.

2.2 FeSO4-EDTA experiment of Cistanche deserticola

Experimental Study on Cistanche deserticola

The FeSO4-EDTA experiment is also a classic method for measuring antioxidant capacity. Its basic principle is to observe the changes in the oxidation degree of FeSO4 in the antioxidant diffusion environment of Cistanche deserticola to evaluate its antioxidant capacity

The experimental results show that the FeSO4-EDTA experiment of Cistanche deserticola exhibits significant antioxidant capacity, which can promote the reduction of the oxidation degree of Fe2+ to Fe3+, and improve the efficiency of oxide defense. With the increase in concentration, the antioxidant capacity of Cistanche deserticola samples gradually increased.

2.3 Iron sulfate experiment of Cistanche deserticola

The iron sulfate experiment is also a commonly used antioxidant method. Its basic principle is to resonance the iron sulfate with the sample of Cistanche deserticola, and observe the absorbance changes of the sample during different periods under UV conditions to evaluate its antioxidant capacity.

The experimental results showed that the iron sulfate experimental absorbance of Cistanche deserticola samples showed a monotonous downward trend, indicating that their antioxidant capacity was indeed strong. With the prolongation of treatment time, the iron sulfate experimental absorbance of Cistanche deserticola samples decreases more significantly, which directly indicates that their antioxidant capacity is stronger.
