Antioxidant and toxicity studies of fruit peel extracts / Hamira Azrin Harun

In this study, the peel extracts of species from family Curcurbitacea that included Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis, Cucumis melo var. inodorus and Citrullus lanatus were investigated on their total phenolic content using Folin-Ciocalteau method, DPPH radical scavenging activity and toxicity.
