In the current study, the antioxidant potential of the extracts was evaluated by their ability to inhibit the autooxidation of epinephrine hydrochloride. The extracts derived from different parts of Moringa oleifera showed the highest antioxidant activity when extracted using a 40% alcohol-water mixture. The dry herb’s alcohol extract contains a range of bioactive compounds, including tannins (up to 30%), flavonoids (up to 5%), coumarins (up to 3.5%), phenolic acids (up to 6%), amino acids (up t
