Abstract

The purpose of the present work was to perform a screening for SOD activity in plants traditionally used as food and medicine in Mongolia. The SOD activity was measured by their effects on pyrogallol autoxidation. In the studied plants, the SOD activity varied from 0.42±0.01 to 10.47±0.1 U/mg protein. Plants with high SOD activity can serve as a potential source of antioxidant supplements in the human diet. Research is currently ongoing.
