Abstract: Pandanus odoratissimus is used in traditional
medicinal and it is also famous for its fragency. The present study was
performed to evaluate the methanolic effect of Pandanus odoratissimus
(MEPO) against free radical damage. The antioxidant activity of has MEPO
been studied using its ability to scavenging DPPH, Nitric acid, superoxide
radicals and hydroxyl radicals. The MEPO shows antioxidant activity by
87.52% reducing the DPPH and 73.55% inhibition of nitric acid. The result
also indicates maximum inhibition of superoxide radical’s inhibition
74.12 and 78.14% inhibition of hydroxyl radicals. The BHT was used as
standard.
