Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit or delay the oxidation process by biocking the initiation or propagation of oxidizing chain reactions. They may function as free radical scavengers, compiexes of pro-oxidant metals; reducing agents and quenchers of singlet oxygen formation'. The level of ROS in plant tissue is controlled by enzymic and non enzymic antioxidant components.
