Antioxidant activities of Amaranthus retroflexus leaves

Abstract

Amaranthus retroflexus is a medicinal plant. Our aim is to investigate its invitro antioxidant property. Hence 70%
ethanolic extract of Amaranthus retroflexus leaves (AREE) was taken and the parameters studied were reducing power and
DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picryl-hydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity in-vitro models were carried out to evaluate its
antioxidant activity. Therefore these results concluded that, the ethanolic extract afford significant antioxidant activities
which may be attributed due to polyphenols.
