Abstract: With changes in lifestyle, eating habits and exposure to hazardous substances, the risk of oxidative damage is increasing which ultimately leads to various ailments.

Methanolic Extract of fenugreek seeds were evaluated for total phenolics content, antioxidant activity using various assay systems such as iron(III) reduction, inhibition of hydroxyl radical-mediated 2-deoxy-D-ribose degradation, metal ion (Fe2+) chelation assay and DPPH radical scavenging assay. The results indicate that fenugreek is a very efficient antioxidant.
