Abstract :
Background: In the last years, there has been growing interest in finding plants for treatment andprevention of disease. Borage officinalis, Camellia sinensis, Chamaemelum nobile, Morus albaand Rosmarinus officinals are usually used in traditional medicine. The aim of this experimentalstudy was co assay of antioxidant and flavonoids levels of alcoholic extraction of these plants. Inthis study the antioxidant activity was surveyed by applying iron ion reducing assay (FRAPassay) and flavonoids levels with measuring the complex flavonoids with trivalent aluminumion. Results from the present study show,the alcoholic extraction of Rosmarinus officinals havea marked antioxidant activity, and the high levels of flavonoids was recorded by Chamaemelumnobile. Camellia sinensis had both effects; antioxidant activity, flavonoids levels. The using ofscreening tests such as the mentioned methods are useful for finding biological components withdifferent effects
