Therefore Diabecine is potentially a source of natural antioxidant which can be considered to improve diabetes complication. Water extract at 60 C showed most amount of phenolic compounds but the antioxidant activity were not distinguish between solvents. Further studies are needed to elucidate other aspects of the Diabecine antioxidant activity. Acknowledgement References Aviram, M., L. Dornfeld, et al. (2007).
