During ancient times, naturally occurring herbs were a remedy for various ailments in the human
body. Parts of Averrhoa carambola trees are comprehensively used as medicinal properties. A.
carambola has lavished phytochemical properties such as alkaloids, glycosides, tannins,
flavonoids, saponins, Carbohydrates, steroids, proteins & amino acid, which give rise to countless
possessions like anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity. The
antioxidative capacity of A. carambola leaves ethanol extracts have been assessed using the DPPH
and ABTS assay. For DPPH and ABTS assay the concentrations were measured by using
absorbance at wavelength 517 nm and 734 nm respectively and the ethanol extracts of A.
carambola leaves were considered with a 20 to 80 µg/ml range (4 concentrations). For DPPH
assay, using % inhibition, 27.43% at the lowest concentration (20 µg/ml) and 54.95% at high
concentration (80 µg/ml) shows antioxidant activity.
