Abstract:

In this research Methanolic, Ethanolic, Acetonic and Hexan extracts of Rusamarinus officianalisL and Ranunculus bulbosus from plants grown in Jiroft city were evaluated for their antiradical properties. Two plants of Rusamarinus officianalisL and Ranunculus bulbosus were collected from Jiroft Azad university research farm. After drying the plant materials in shade, extracts were obtained by methanol 80%, ethanol 50%, acetone and hexane solvents and antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH method. In both of plant methanolic extracts had highest amount of antiradical activity and hexane extracts had the lowest. Results of this study showed the Rusamarinus officianalisL extracts contained higher amount of antiradical properties than extracts of Ranunculus bulbosus. The obtained results show that extracts of two plants of Rusamarinus officianalisL and Ranunculus bulbosus possess antiradical activity and could be used as a natural antioxidant ingredient in food and drug industries.
