Antioxidant and antibacterial activities of ethanolic extracts of asparagus officinalis cv. Mary Washington: Comparison of in vivo and in vitro grown plant bioactivities

The antioxidant and antibacterial activities of ethanolic extracts of in vivo grown Asparagus officinalis cv. Mary Washington were investigated using superoxide dismutase, erythrocyte haemolysis and 2,2diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil free radical scavenging methods. The measured antioxidant and antimicrob...
