Abstract: Medicinal plants are very important in whole world. Ricinus communis is traditionally used as antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antiasthmatic, anticancer and antimicrobial. Potentials of roots of Ricinus communis has been undertaken in present work by determining its antioxidant activity. For determining activity seven extracts were prepared like methanol, ethanol, aqueous, n-butanol, n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate. Seven extracts were prepared from roots of Ricinus communis. For determining total phenolic contents (TPC) and Total flavonoid content (TFC) Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and Aluminum Chloride colorimetric methods were used. The DPPH (2, 2 Diphenyl 1 picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging potential activity was also assessed.
