Polyphenols are valuable plant constituents for the scavenging of free radicals because of their phenolic hydroxyl groups [49]. This, together with the obtained results,suggeststhat asthe amount of polyphenolic compounds increases, the antioxidant activity also increases.In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the polyphenolic extract of T. chebula fruits can protect the body from oxidative stress from ROS, which may be due to the phyto-chemicals in the form of polyphenols that occur in the plant. These may be used in nutraceuticals and the food industry. However, additional studies are necessary to develop a method for the fractionation and identification of polyphenols and to determine the most active antioxidant compounds in the polyphenolic extract.
