Abstract :

Health drinks currently are of popular demand globally. This study aimed to evaluate bioactivity quantities, toxicity, total phenolic contents, different extraction methods between ultrasonication, maceration with 40% and 50% ethyl alcohol during period of time. In Thailand the productions of anti-aging flower extract health do not meet the standard required by Thai FDA, therefore Nelumbo nucifera Linn. flower extract were tested for antioxidant activities with DPPH, FRAP, ABTS, total phenolic and HPLC. The study was found that the Nelumbo nucifera Linn. flower extract drink consisted of high contents of ferulic acid, rutin and catechin confirmed by HPLC. The result of acute toxicity analysis of Nelumbo nucifera Linn. flower extracts in Albino Wistar rats showed no sign of death or abnormality in Abino Wistar rats which could indicate no acute toxicity in Nelumbo nucifera Linn. flower extracts.
