Free radicals are continuously produced in our body either
naturally or on exposure to environmental stress as well as
other factors and can be implicated in many diseases like
cancer, atherosclerosis, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease,
Alzheimer’s disease, aging and other age related problems
[1]. Mammalian cells possess elaborate defense mechanisms
for radical detoxification. Antioxidants are agents,
which scavenge the free radicals and prevent the damage
caused by them. Inspite of these in-built defense mechanisms,
it seems more meaningful to utilize extra antioxidants
available in diets, especially from fruits, vegetables
and whole grains [2]. Due to their minimal side effects,
there are growing interests in using natural products for
preventive and therapeutic medicine [3].
