Abstract
In this paper the enzymic antioxidants (catalase, peroxidase, glulathione-s-transferase, glutathione reductase
and superoxide dismutase) and non-enzyniic antioxidants (ascorbic acid, a tocopherol, carotenoids, flavonoids and
polyphenols) of the flower and root of Aerva lanata are discussed. The free radical scavenging activity, of different extracts
of Aerva lanata was analyzed. The results showed that the extracts form a good source of all the antioxidants analysed
and identified.
