The effects of solvents polarity on the phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of three Mentha species extracts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The processes of oxidation are intrinsic in the management of energy of all living organisms and are, therefore, kept under strict control by several cellular mechanisms (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 2007). However, reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated during metabolism, are very unstable and highly reactive, due to the presence of unpaired electrons, which include superoxide anion radicals, hydroxyl radicals, hydroperoxyl radicals, peroxyl and non-free radical species such as hydrogen peroxide, ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 3 Number 11 (2014) pp. 399-412 http://www.ijcmas.com
