The co-assessment of antioxidant capacity and flavonoids levels of alcoholic extract of some of current traditional medicine plants

In the last years, there has been growing interest in finding plants for treatment and prevention of disease. Borage officinalis, Camellia sinensis, Chamaemelum nobile, Morus alba and Rosmarinus officinals are usually used in traditional medicine. The aim of this experimental study was co assay of antioxidant and flavonoids levels of alcoholic extraction of these plants. In this study the antioxidant activity was surveyed by applying iron ion reducing assay (FRAP assay) and flavonoids levels with measuring the complex flavonoids with trivalent aluminum ion. Results from the present study show,the alcoholic extraction of Rosmarinus officinals have a marked antioxidant activity, and the high levels of flavonoids was recorded by Chamaemelum nobile. Camellia sinensis had both effects; antioxidant activity, flavonoids levels. The using of screening tests such as the mentioned methods are useful for finding biological components with different effects
