Abstract: | The extraction of Zea mays hairs (Z. mays) was carried out by soxhlet and ultrasound techniques and through three solvents. Phytochemical tests and quantitative analysis of total phenols content (TPC) and flavonoids content (FC) for all extracts were also determined. The antioxidant activity, for different fractions, was determined by using three methods; DPPH , FRAP and TAC. All extracts were rich in polyphenols and the analysis of TPC and FC showed that the hydro-ethanolic extract obtained by ultrasound was characterized by a significant amount of TPC and FC. The n-butanolic fraction was rich in FC and also had a very high antioxidant capacity. On the other hand, the inhibiting effect of hydro-ethanolic extract, n-butanolic fraction and standard (flavone) on mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution was investigated by electrochemical measurements. The polarization curves along with EIS diagrams indicated that flavone was the major molecule responsible for inhibition and acted as mixed-type inhibitor with predominant control of cathodic reaction. The antioxidant activity of BF was well correlated to corrosion inhibition efficiency. |
