IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF CURCUMA AMADA ROXB.
AbstractA study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant potential of rhizomes of Curcuma amada (Zingiberaceae). Aqueous and ethanolic extracts were subjected to in vitro antioxidant activity screening models such as DPPH, ABTS, nitric oxide and inhibition of lipid peroxidation activity. Ascorbic acid was used as the standard. In all the models studied, both the extracts showed nearly equal activities thereby justifying the traditional claims ofthe plant.
