ABSTRACT: Non-enzymic antioxidants were analyzed in both blue flowered leaf and white flowered leaf of Clitorea ternatea. The in vitro model used in the study as alternatives to live animals, was goat liver slices. The liver slices exposed to different treatments were incubated for one hour at 37°C with very mild shaking. The non- enzymic activity was analyzed by using goat liver slices, both blue flowered leaf and white flowered leaf of Clitorea ternatea and H2O2 as oxidant. The results showed that the white flowered leaves had higher content of all the non-enzymic antioxidants analyzed than the blue flowered ones.

KEYWORDS: Clitoria ternatea; Non-enzymic antioxidants; goat liver slices; H2O2.
