<title>ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF SOME SEASONAL LEAFY VEGETABLES FROM RATNAGIRI DISTRICT OF MAHARASHTRA </title>
<abstract>Analysis of antioxidant potential of seasonal vegetables occurring in Ratnagiri district and which are a part of regular diet and also possess medicinal properties was undertaken. Methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extracts of five wild vegetables namely  lessThan i greaterThan Colocasia esculenta lessThan /i greaterThan  (L.),  lessThan i greaterThan Clerodendrum serratum lessThan /i greaterThan  (L.),  lessThan i greaterThan Cassia lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan tora  lessThan /i greaterThan (L.),  lessThan i greaterThan Celosia argentea lessThan /i greaterThan  (L.) and  lessThan i greaterThan Amorphophallus paeoniifolius lessThan /i greaterThan  (Dennst.) were prepared for estimating various antioxidant properties such as DPPH, FRAP, FICA and reducing power assay. Total phenolic content of the vegetable extracts was also determined in order to understand the correlation with antioxidant properties. Results revealed that all the vegetables possess a substantial antioxidant potential and can add to the nutritional supplement when consumed in the daily diet. DPPH, FRAP and FIC activities were maximum in the methanol and ethanol extracted samples whereas reducing ability was greater in the aqueous extracts of vegetables.</abstract>
