I have a silly doubt! We are extracting the compounds from different plant parts or calli and studying antioxidant activities. What exactly the conclusion if we are getting high antioxidant activity or Inhibition of free radicles. What is the role of phenolics.
I hope viewers understand my question.
Thanks and Regards

Secondary metabolites like phenolics have role in plant response to stress, defense against disease, environmental adjustment, competitive advantage and better survival of plants.
Respected Muhammad Sir
Thank You for Your response. I accept your answer but that role what you mention is commonly. But my Question is What exact conclusion if there is high antioxidant activity or High Phenolics in Calli?
Thanks and Regards
There is possibility of plant part with high phenolic compounds and high antioxidant activities to also possess high radical scavenging ability, hence prevent degenerative effect of bio molecules caused by various dangerous disease e.g Diabetes,Atherosclerosis, inflammation among others.
As you know there are two types of metabolites in plants: the primary and the secondary metabolites. The primary as aminoacids and proteins, fatty acids, carbohidrates are essential for the plants; and the others secondary metabolites also called natural products are not essential for them but most of them are important for the man as active principle as phenolic compounds, alkaloids and so on.
