Antioxidant compounds like polyphenolics scavenge such free radicals and thus protect against oxidative stress. Consumption of polyphenol-rich plants as dietary component confers protection against such cellular damage. Present study explores antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of different extracts prepared from various parts of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; Lam. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Higher TPC, TFC and antioxidant activity was shown by methanolic extracts followed by aqueous, petroleum benzene and chloroform extracts. The present study suggests that all the extracts might act as radical scavengers to certain extent possibly due to presence of polyphenolic compounds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; exhibits strong antioxidant activity and could serve as prospective source of natural antioxidants to food and health industries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, sequential extract, oxidation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Swati Vyas, Sumita Kachhwaha and S.L.Kothari</style></custom1><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swati Vyas&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Sumita Kachhwaha&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and S.L.Kothari&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Botany, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India&amp;ndash;302004&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India-302019&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
