- Abstract
One of the major concerns of phytotherapy is enhancement of the new sources of raw materials rich in active principles. Research in this field are considering as inexhaustible the sources and performances of plant materials provided by nature. The subject of this study fits the current trend of development of the biotechnologies that have an impact on maintaining and improving the quality of life. This represents a topic of general interest through the subject approached, namely: research regarding the protective role of flavone compounds to prevent and "stop" the lipids oxidation due to free radical attack. The aim of this research was to evaluate, by comparison, the antioxidant potential of two extracts, obtained from Ribes Nigrum and Vaccinium Myrtillus leaves, on lipid oxidation from artificial membranes.
