Abstract

Plant based medicines are understood and widely accepted as alternative therapies for many diseases. The present work investigated the antioxidant and antihemolytic properties of extracts of Triticum aestivum (wheatgrass) have been analyzed and quantified for the phytochemical constituent’s such as total phenolics, tannins, and flavonoid contents. High–performance liquid chromatography revealed the presence of many phytoconstituents with medicinal value. Antioxidant and RSA was determined by in vitro assays such as hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and total reductive ability. These results proved to be promising and were confirmed by its ability to mitigate free radical induced erythrocyte damage.
