Abstract

Antioxidants are nature’s way of protecting the body and cells from damaging free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that are generated by sun exposure, straks and a part of natural aging process, and prevent the process of oxidation. Our present experiment was to study some phytochemicals and identify the chloroform extract of Iris kashmiriana leaves. The antioxidant property was carried out by different methods like hydrogen peroxide method, scavenging assay and reducing power assay. Our experiment of chloroform extract method is more effective than other two methods. This study shows chloroform extract method of iris kashmirina leaves and is natural antioxidant and be very helpful in stopping the phenomenon of much oxidative stress.
