You can use NBT (Nitro Blue Tetrazolium) assay which is also widely accepted and measures the superoxide radical scavenging activity of samples.

ABTS will do. However, i think from your location (Nigeria) it may be pretty easier to procure the DPPH reagent than the ABTS

Dr. Tresina Soris P

Respected Sir,

You can proceed your analysis using Superoxide radical scavenging activity, Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical cation scavenging activity. Kindly go through the attachment.

Good Luck
