ABSTRACT
The present study has given a novel method for the effective use of non-endangered (i.e., abundant) plants and plant parts as antioxidants. Vesicularia dubyana, Spirogyra majuscule (Pond) and Spirogyra majuscule (trees) were chosen for this study. Both Sohxlet and sonication methods of extraction were adopted. The extracts were subjected to biochemical analysis. Protein, phenol, reducing sugar, Flavanoid, antioxidant assay and reducing power assay were determined spectroscopically. Moisture, ash, protein, ether and reducing sugar percentages were evaluated by routine methods.
