The beneficial effects of the Algerian desert truffle Terfezia claveryi Chatin: Chemical profiling and evaluation of the biological properties

Terfezia claveryi Chatin is an obligate ectomycorrhizal hypogeous desert truffle, very rich in active compounds. Our objectives are to promote the hydro-methanolic extract by spectrophotometrically evaluating of bioactive contents and their biological activities. DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and TAC were carried out to estimate the antioxidant potential. The lysis, the anti-hemolytic, the anti-inflammatory and the α-amylase inhibitory properties were investigated. The total phenolic compounds are the majority components 82.27 ± 1.44 (µg GAE/mg extract). Through GC–MS, a total of 06 compounds were identified. The IC50 value of DPPH and ABTS were respectively (251.03 ± 6,31 µg/mL), (177.64 ± 0.91 µg /mL), and the TAC value was (26.14 ± 0.22 µg AAE /mg extract). The results highlighted a low hemolytic activity 2.37 ± 0.20
