Abstract
The effect of tissue cultured and tissue culture derived Mentha species viz. Mentha piperita(PPR611), Mentha
arvensis (SH) and Mentha spicata (SPR 8) on antioxidant potential using lipid peroxidation model was studied.
The extracts prepared were analyzed for total phenols and flavonoids. Tissue cultured derived plants were found
to have higher content of total phenols and flavonoids. Furthermore, Mentha spicata (SPR 8) was found to
possess higher content of total phenols, however, flavonoid content of tissue cultured samples was more
compared to tissue culture derived plants in Mentha arvensis (SH) and Mentha spicata (SPR 8).Tissue cultured
plants of all the three species were more potent in lipid peroxidation inhibition model. Tissue cultured derived
plants were less effective in preventing lipid peroxidation and inhibition potential decreased with development
period in all the three species.
