Abstract:
A study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity (AOA) of traditional medication by determining the iodine index of Tween 80 in tentative samples (with the extraction of traditional medication) and control samples (without the extraction of traditional medication). It should not apply the spectrometry to evaluate the AOA of these medication because of their complicated chemical components, especially chromatic compounds which interfere the photic density
