Free radicals are atoms or molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons on its outer orbital, highly reactive, and could damage cell inside human body. Antioxidants are the substances which inhibit oxidation, which have the ability to remove the potentially damaging oxidizing agents in a living organism. Many phytochemicals present in the plants are able to reduce or prevent the oxidative damage to the human cells which can cause even cancer in humans. It is highly vital to know about the antioxidant activities of each plant and the phytocompounds responsible for that. In this study, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the extracts of Pomegranate and Citrus (Lemon) is analyzed. And we found Citrus peel extract 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay activity better on comparing Pomegranate peel extract.
