In the present study the antioxidant effect of the tubers of Cyperus rotundus Linn. collected from Kannauj (U.P.) was assessed. The methanol extract of tubers of Cyperus rotundus were evaluated for antioxidant activity by 1, 1-diphenyl – 2 – picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and reducing power assay. The total phenolic contents were estimated by Folin ciocalteu and aluminium chloride methods, respectively. Total phenol compounds were expressed in terms of equivalent amount of gallic acid (GAE) which is using as standard. Gallic acid and ascorbic acid were used as a reference standard.
