ANTI-OXIDANTS:
neutralizing the effects of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) comprises of both free
radical and non-free radical oxygen containing molecules such as hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2), superoxide, singlet oxygen, the hydroxyl radical and inhibiting the oxidation
reaction which is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals (Free radicals are
unstable, oxygen-containing molecules or atom that cause illness and aging that can
causes cell damage). Free radicals can produce huge chain chemical responses

Oxidative stress occurs when your body's free radicals and antioxidants are out
of equilibrium. Because free radicals react so quickly with other molecules, they can
create enormous chain chemical reactions in your body. Oxidation is the term for
these kinds of processes. They have the ability to be useful or harmful. Antioxidants
are compounds that have the ability to give an electron to a free radical while
remaining stable. As a result, the free radical becomes less reactive and stabilizes. [5]
and immune cell activation, extreme exercise, ischemia, mental activity stress,
malignant and infectious disorders, and ageing are all examples of endogenous
creation of these species. Exogenous sources of ROS include water and air pollution,
alcohol consumption, smoking, heavy metals, radiation, cooking, and certain solvents
such as benzene. After penetrating the body, these chemicals breakdown into ROS.

AGARICUS BISPORUS
Agaricus bisporus originated in Brazil, but is now grown in China, Japan, and
liver disease, circulatory diseases, and digestive difficulties are all treated with the
agaricus mushroom. Heart illness, weakening bones, and stomach problems are
among the other uses. It's also used to help with physical and emotional stress, as well
as to improve the immune system. Extracts of the agaricus mushroom have been

White Button Mushroom (A. bisporus) is another name for Agaricus bisporus
(A. bisporus). It is the most common wild and cultivated edible mushroom,
accounting for more than 40% of all mushroom production worldwide. It is grown in
more than 70 nations and on every continent except Antarctica. A. bisporus has a
flavoring taste, and is utilized as food and in the food industry. It's thought to have a

Powdered sample (100g) in Ethanol, Methanol and Hydro Alcohol were stored
Apparatus
Procedure:
The finely powdered Agaricus bisporus was placed in a paper bag and placed in
a soxhlet apparatus. The extraction solvent was placed in a flask, and the vapours
were condensed. The powder sample was in a filter paper bag and the extract poured
into it.The liquid content of the chamber was collected into a flask when the level of
liquid in the chamber went to the top of the syphon tube.This procedure was repeated
until the syphon tube was completely empty. The collected extract was then
semi-solid state.

Borntrager’s Test:
Add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid to the 3 ml sample extract. Bring it to a boil
and then filter it. Add an equal volume of benzene or chloroform to the cooled
filtrate and shake well. The organic layers are well-separated, and then ammonia is
added. The presence of glycosides is indicated by the presence of pink colour in the
ammonical layer.
Add a few drops of ferric chloride solution and strong sulphuric acid to the sample
extract. The presence of glycosides is indicated by the formation of two layers, the
lower layer being reddish brown in colour and the upper layer being bluish green in
colour.

When a few drops of sodium picrate solution are added to the sample extract, the
colour of the solution changes from yellow to orange, indicating that glycosides are

vivo. Blois in 1958 devised this method with the purpose of evaluating antioxidant
activity utilizing a stable free radical in a similar manner. The DPPH-based technique
is likely the most widely used in vitro assay due to its simplicity, rapidity, and low
cost.By transferring hydrogen from other molecules, the stable free radical DPPH (2,
other hand, allow for research in a physiological setting but need the use of animal
models, some of which are expensive and time-consuming. [43, 44, 45]
DPPH radical scavenging and thus evaluating free radical scavenging capability, the
DPPH assay is used to predict antioxidant activity. Because the analysis just takes a
few minutes, the method is widely used. The DPPH free radical is exceptionally
maximum of 517 nm. The method is based on antioxidants scavenging DPPH, which
after a reduction process decolorizes the DPPH methanol solution. In this test, the
antioxidants' ability to decrease the DPPH radical is evaluated. [46, 47, 48]
