ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF MURRAYA KOENIGII
Tomar Arti* , Rawat Suman , Sharma Ankita
ABSTRACT The present study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant activities of Murraya koenigii known for their medicinal properties in folk medicine. In an effort to reduce the undesirable consequences of synthetic food conservatives in human health and food industries, scientists have recently changed their interest to search new conservatives. Antioxidants are important inhibitors of lipid peroxidation not only as a defense mechanism of living cells against oxidative damage but also for food preservation. The free-radical scavenging activities of prepared extracts of Murraya koenigii were carried out using DPPH (1,1–Diphenyl-2-Picryl-Hydrazyl). The results showed that all extracts of Murraya koenigii had radical scavenging activity. This study showed that Ethanolic extract of Murraya koenigii possess maximum antioxidant activity i.e. 88.31% out of all the extracts.Further research should be carried out to isolates compounds with radical scavenging capacity for industrial applications.
