DPPH Assay and Reducing Power Activity ofWater Extract of (Mentha longifolia) Mint

Antioxidative properties of plants may be associated with oxidative stress defence in different human diseases. Oxidative and free radicals can neutralized by antioxidants which are great significance preventing the expansion these Many studies have investigated toxic effect synthetic antioxidants, thus to avoid effects new natural origin been deliberated recent years. Mint (Mentha longifolia) is extensively used as medicine, spice, food flavouring. In current work, an aqueous extract mint leaves was determined using DPPH assay reducing power activity. Strapping sound antioxidant were observed 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl at concentrations 0.1-0.5 mg/ml, ranging from 20.32 ± 0.35 % 65.75 1.5 %, while standard BHT possess Inhibition (DPPH) 30.41 0.65 83.50 2.3 same concentration. A similar found assay, exhibited absorbance M. longifolia water 0.1501 0.010 0.5845 0.042 0.3221 0.026 0.8197 0.124 700 nm. The conclusion recommends that has confirmed vital benefits due high concentration vast impending for claim preparation useful entities.
