Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the in-vitro Antioxidant activity on Sap of Borassus flabellifer. The various parts of the Plant such as leaves, seeds, bark, berries, Sap, roots, or flowers are extensively used for their medicinal property. Similarly, we found Sap of Borassus flabellifer exhibiting certain medicinal property. We performed in vitro Antioxidant activities on Sap of Borassus flabellifer in four different volumes (1ml Sap + 0ml Water, 1ml Sap + 1ml Water, 0.5ml Sap + 1ml Water, 0.25ml Sap + 1ml Water) by methods such as Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, Nitric oxide scavenging activity and Lipid per oxidation inhibitory activity, compared with standard drug ascorbic acid dissolved in methanol solvent. The experiment was conducted and the results thus obtained showed that Sap of Borassus flabellifer exhibited significant Antioxidant activity.
