Antioxidants are the substances that will secure our cells against free radicals, which are liable for so many maladies, especially cancer. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food or when we expose to tobacco smoke or radiation and so on. Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. The examples which are mentioned are natural Antioxidants, yet these are not adequate for us from forestalling all the free radicals generated in our body, for this, there is a need of continuous replenishment of Antioxidants in our body for which so many bioactive molecules possessing the Antioxidant properties are needed, in this context, there is a need of broad exploration on these molecules. Keeping these realities under consideration a comprehensive in vitro studies have been carried out which are simple and reliable compared to the existing methods, and the nitty-gritty findings are written in this book and the nuts and bolts which are required to understand the methodology involved for assessing the Antioxidant activity of Bioactive molecules is discussed in detail.
