Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Free radicals/reactive oxygen species are related to many biological phenomena such as inflammation, aging, and carcinogenesis. In this work, we studied antioxidant activity oils extract of leaves Rosmarinus officinalis. Rosemary is well known as a spice and widely used plant in ethno medicine worldwide. Our results obtained from the in vitro antioxidant screened showed that oils from leave Rosmarinus officinalishas considerable amounts of polyphenolic and flavonoids compounds which are responsible for the antioxidant properties. And also they give the higher reductive potential due to reducing capacity and DPPH free radical scavenging activity which serves as strong indicator of antioxidant activities.
