Opis

Extracts of plants are more safe and their toxicity is a not a big problem, hence they could be exploited as nutritional supplements and antioxidant additives. The present study revealed that the consumption of the extracts of Atropa Belladonna and Matricaria Chamomilla medicinal plants could exert a number of valuable effects by virtue of their effective antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. Both the plants tested during the present work showed good antioxidant as well as antimicrobial activity, so these medicinal plants can be potential new sources of natural antioxidants.
