Quantitative Estimation of Antioxidant Activity in Various Vegetables by DPPH Method

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the estimation of antioxidant value in different vegetable by using 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay to better understand the complex interaction between dietary choices and human health.Vegetables are excellent sources of antioxidants, which are essential for battling free radicals linked to a variety of ailments.This has led to an increase in study on antioxidants and their potential benefits for health.The DPPH test is a crucial tool in these endeavours because to its dependability and simplicity.DPPH provide free radicals to react with electron of antioxidant and shows absorbance at 517nm which is highest at minimum antioxidant activity due to free radicals present in solution of DPPH and plant extract.our observation analyse that Phyllanthus (Indian gooseberry aka amla) has highest antioxidant activity around 82%.This activity followed by Mentha spiata (spearmint), Zingiber officinale (ginger), Trigonella foenum graecum (fenugreek), Coriandrum sativum (coriander), shows more than 50 % activity so these vegetables can show a promising reference for future exploration.This paper highlights the potential health consequences and highlights the protective effects of antioxidants against diseases linked to oxidative stress, underscoring the significance of eating vegetables.To fully realize the potential of vegetables in enhancing human well-being, future research topics include developing standardized protocols and exploring new antioxidants.To sum up, this paper acts as a compass for scholars and professionals, pointing them in the direction of a more thorough comprehension of the complex interactions that exist between vegetable antioxidants and human health.
