Abstract

There are over 3200 plant species identified by now according to the publication of The Flora of Republic of Macedonia, 2003 in Republic of N. Macedonia. [1] Some of the mostly used medicinal plants that can be found in our mountains and fields are: Origanum vulgare L., (mountain tea), Hypericum perforatum L., (St. John worth), Mentha x piperita (mint), Thymus serpyllum L., (wild thyme), Mellissa officinalis L., (lemon balm), Verbascum thapsus L. (mullein), Matricaria chamomilla L., (chamomile), Orchis sp. (orchid), Capsicum annuum (hot pepper) etc. [2] Bioactive substances from all the groups of plant metabolites terpenoids, polyphenols and even alkaloids are represented in the plants mentioned here. Altogether these medicinal plants have different traditional use and indications but what they all have in common is their ability to neutralize the free radicals. Although in vitro assays for measuring antioxidant ability shows a very basic effect, and there are more factors influencing the anti-oxidative effects on a cellular level, these experiments are wildly performed. Cyclic voltammetry provides high potential for investigation of antioxidant compounds, assessment of antioxidant capacity and measurement of electrochemical kinetics. This method is suitable for the characterization of antioxidant capacity in plant extracts and food control samples, also.
