Abstract
Reducing power assay of solvent extracts of Eichhurnia crassipes (Mart.) Solms at different concentrations and time delay was evaluated. Reducing
power was linearly proportional to the concentration and time and was found to increase with increase in concentration and time. The extracts
were compared to standard antioxidant L-ascorbic acid. AN extracts showed greater reducing power than that of the standard. The results suggest
the potential of development o f useful natural antioxidants.
