Assessment of antioxidant and quantitative estimation of Momordica charantia (Leaves and Fruit) plant of cucurbitaceae family

The aim of the present study is to explore more about the free radical scavenging activity of medicinal plants which are based on non-toxic and advantageous secondary metabolites. For the very first time, this plant found particularly in and around Chitrakoot region (Madhya Pradesh, India) was inspected for their free radical scavenging activity by DPPH and ABTS methods. The significance of the present work is that it gives a clue about the radical scavenging properties of the selected plants, which are easily available and widely used by local people.
