ABSTRACT

The existing study was designed at exploring the antioxidant activities of extract of the fruits of Coccinia grandis L. (Cucurbitaceae).The antioxidant activities evaluated by means of in vitro assays and were linked to standard antioxidants such asascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene. All the extracts showed real antioxidant activity. The antioxidant property rests upon solvent used for extraction as different solvent may extract different components which may have higher phenolic and flavonoid compounds which are accountable for the free radical scavenging. Chloroform extract have high anti-oxidant potential. The results found in the existing study show that the fruits of C.grandis are a probable source of good natural antioxidants.
