A Review of Potential of Antioxidant Properties Using Polygonum minus

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years much attention has been devoted to natural antioxidant which has shown health benefits to human. Most researchers propose that two-thirds of thirds of the worlds plant species have a medicinal value and a great antioxidant potential. Polygonum minus or kesum is a traditional Malaysian plant used as flavoring agent and recommended for digestive disorders as well as stomach pain. The leaves are often eaten fresh as a vegetable (salad and ulam), especially among the Malay communities for preventive health care. There is a several researchers have been reported that P. minus contains a high level of antioxidant activities. Therefore, P. minus was seen to have a potential and interesting plant for antioxidant evaluation. The aim of this study is to represent previous studies that have been conducted on P. minus for antioxidant activities and also to suggest a method to enhanced antioxidant activities using nanotechnology.
