Abstract

The present investigation study was undertaken to investigate the antioxidant properties of three medicinal plants Mangifera indica, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and Ocimum sanctum. The aqueous, ethanol and hexane extracts of the three plants were prepared and investigated for their antioxidant activity. Free radical scavenger activity estimated by using DPPH, Reducing power method and Phosphomolybdenum Reduction Assay. The antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis exhibits strong activity when compared to other two plants. The results of DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power method and phosphomolybdenum assay of Hibiscus rosa sinensis Ethanolic leaf extract were similar to that of standard Gallic acid.
