DIFFERENT APPROACHES FOR VALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES: A REVIEW
Onkar Chandra*, Kanti Chaubey and Nisreen Husain
ABSTRACT
Antioxidants are the substances that prevent oxidants, i.e., free radicals from forming inside the human body. In other words, they are the molecules capable of inhibiting oxidation of other molecules that produce free radicals. An antioxidant molecule is stable enough to donate an electron to a rampaging free radical and neutralize it, thus reducing its capacity to damage, hence are known as “Radical scavengers†or “Oxygen quenchersâ€. So it is need of the time to evaluate antioxidant activity of mushroom especially for those being need in our society. The present paper highlights the 23 different methods of assessment of antioxidant activity. Keywords: Free radicals, Radical Scavengers, Oxygen Quenchers, Antioxidant Activity.
