Antioxidant And Antifungal Activities Of Several Malaysian Wood Extracts

Antioxidant And Antifungal Activities Of Several Malaysian Wood Extracts

Antioxidant activities, antifungal properties and total phenolic compound of 11 selected commercial Malaysian timbers were studied. The species include Syzygium samarangense (kelat jambu air), Eugenia cerina (kelat gelam), Eugenia chorantha (kelat merah), Scorodocarpus borneensis (kulim), Myristica...
