Preliminary Investigations for antioxidant properties of ferns species collected in Long Banga, Sarawak

Ferns are traditionally consumed as vegetables and used to prevent or cure various ailments as they have a few medicinal properties including antioxidant activity. However, little is known on ferns in Long Banga, Sarawak such as Calymmodon clavifer, Hymenophyllum acanthoides, and Oleandra pistillari...
