Abstract
In the recent years, the importance of herbal drugs in medicine has tremendous increased because of their fewer side effects. Consequently, the demand for the herbal formulation is increasing day by day. Achras sapota commonly known as chiku. Since there are no reports on the phytochemical aspects of stem of Achras sapota, it was chosen as the subject for this study. Antioxidants also play an important role in human health because the biologic defense mechanisms cannot operate under severe oxygen stress.The most widely used synthetic antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are suspected to cause some safety concerns. Tocopherol , a natural antioxidant, is an effective antioxidant for lipid-containing foods but has limited usage . The fact that various antioxidants occur naturally in plants has been proven . Therefore, identification and development of safer natural antioxidants is more beneficial. Wound can be defined as a cut or break in the continuity of any tissue which may arise due to physical, chemical or microbial agents.
