Antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Pandanus conoideus Lam / Intan Masyitah Rumli

An antioxidant is defined as a substance that can delay and destroy excess free radicals and repair oxidative damage in biomolecules. The antioxidants are believed to play a very important role in the body defence system against reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are the harmful by products genera...
