Abstract
The antioxidant activities, total phenolic compound and antifungal activities
were investigated from selected Malaysian hardwood species. The species studied
include keranji kuning kecil, durian, gerutu-gerutu, machang-machang, medang
kemangi, medang daun lebar, sesendok, meranti pipit, meranti sarang punai, petai-petai,
meranti melantai, ara berteh bukit, chengal, kembang semangkok jantung, mempelam,
mersawa kuning and mersawa kuning kecil. All samples were divided into 3 parts; bark,
heartwood and sapwood. The antioxidant activity was assessed by scavenging of 1, 1-
diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) while total phenolic compound was analyzed using
Folin-Ciocalteu method.
