| description | Antioxidants present in herbs and spices could be an effective tool to prevent the non-communicable
diseases like cancer, diabetes and myocardial infarction as they have the capacity to stabilize the free
radicals which are one of the causative factors of these diseases. This study aims to quantify the total
phenolic and flavonoid content of commonly used herbs & spices and determination of their free radical
scavenging activities expressed as inhibitory concentration (IC50). The results of this study depict that the
tested herbs & spices have considerable amount of phenols and flavonoids and a high scavenging power
of free radicals. |
