This study is done on leaves extract of Jasminum
multiflorum.Extraction of leaves of Jasminum multiflorum yielded
5.16% of Pet.Ether extract,4.38% of Chloroform extract,and 18.28% of
methanol extract.Methanol extract of Jasminum multiflorum leaves
showed maximum antioxidant activity in comparison to all extracts
using DPPH method.The concentration of 500 μg/ml of methanol
extract showed 81.44% anti-oxidant activity in comparison to all
extracts.Both Pet.Ether and Chloroform extracts showed weak antioxidant
activity.Ascorbic acid was used as a standard for comparison
to extracts which showed 97% activity.
