Abstract

Freshwater mussel Anodonta cygnea is available in the lagoon, river, and recharge basin in the north of the country, known as Swan Mussel. Over several decades, marine natural products have been vastly explored due to their excellent antioxidant activity in nutrients, pharmaceuticals, and cosmeceutical industries. Although marine invertebrates particularly Mussel, have been explored for numerous biological and physiological functions, they are seldom studied for their antioxidant property. Mussels with a length of 105.65±2.41, a width of 58.85±2.83, a height of 48.83±2.10 mm, and a weight of 113.23±9.68 g were collected from a Agricultural reservoir after catching of fish. The water and ethanol extracts (1:2 w/v) of Anodonta cygnea mussel were prepared. Antioxidant properties of lyophilized water and ethanolic extracts including DPPH, ABTs, and Power Reducing were measured at different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 mg/ml). The results showed that The ethanol treatment showed a higher inhibitory power than the aqueous treatment (P<0.05). By increasing the concentration of 0.1 to 5 mg/ml, the scavenging of DPPH radical decreased and the highest DPPH radical scavenging was observed at the concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. The most radical inhibition of ABTs and power reduction was at a concentration of 5 mg/ml. According to the results, the ethanolic extract of mussels seems to have good antioxidant properties. This mussel is found in the Agricultural reservoir; after the catching of fish, the mussels face a lack of water and death due to their unique properties, further studies can prevent the burying of these mussels.
