Volume : II, Issue : XI, December - 2012 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANTIOXIDANTS FROM SOME MEDICINAL PLANTS PRADNYA M. MANOHAR Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The term antioxidants originally was used to refer specifically to a
chemically that prevented the consumption of oxygen In the late 19th and early
20th century, extensive study was devoted to the uses of antioxidants in important
industrial process such as prevention of metal corrosion. Antioxidants are
biologically active substance that acts to counter the harmful effects of free radical.
They include certain vitamins (Vti. C,E), mineral(Selenium) and other groups such as
carotenoids and bioflavoinds. In the last years increasing evidence have indicated
that dietary intakes of antioxidants may play a key role in reducing the risk of
developing of some degenerative disease in human beings. Many fruit,leafy vagatables
and seeds contain antioxidants like ascorbic acid, vitamin and phenolic compounds.
Oxalis corniculata , Tridax procumbens, Hyptis suaveolens are the native species of
Vidarbha and tremendous medicinal values. This research exercise is an attempt to
analyse antioxidants quantitatively from various parts of these plants. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : PRADNYA M. MANOHAR, (2012).
