ABSTRACT
The herb and seed spices were analysed for their tannins content by
titrimetric method; rutin was determined spectrophotometrically by using
ammonium molybdate; the total phenolic contents were determined by
using Folin-Ciocalteu assay; the total flavonoids were measured
spectrophotometrically using the colorimetric reaction with aluminum
(III) chloride. Antioxidant capacity was also analysed
spectrophotometrically by a 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical
scavenging effect of the herbs and seeds.
