Evaluation of antioxidant activity of Impatiens walleriana & Sauropus androgynus extracts – A combination study

“Oxidative stress” underlies a number of ailments & lipid peroxidation (LPO) also has economic implications/safety concerns as it contributes to spoilage food products/cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Antioxidants seem hold solutions for such problems. Culinary herbs based antioxidants are in demand be food, cosmetic or pharma industry. In pursuit finding safe present evaluation employing combined hydroalcoholic extract two nutritious plants namely Sauropus androgynus Impatiens walleriana is carried out using three in-vitro assays. FRAP assay results promising with the under investigation showing ferric reducing ability between 73-88% compared standard 59-84%. Antioxidant effect nitric oxide scavenging averaged at 20% comparison which 70%. Results hydroxyl radical range 31-72% wherein 79-88%. Ascorbic acid been used Findings from all invitro assays reveal antioxidant potential extract. Further additional studies determine mechanisms underlying activity along active principles contributing same recommended.
