Abstract: Green tea is currently an area of intense scientific research because of its effective actions in anticancer therapy. It is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world and is currently perceived as a healthy drink now gaining worldwide popularity as a drink that is important in preventive medicine.It is derived from non-fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.. The aim of this research was to determine the anticancerous and antioxidant properties of green tea The antioxidant activity is measured by (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay method and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assay method. The DPPH activity of the Camellia sinensis extract was found to be 22.53% at the concentration of 1000µg/ml. The FRAP activity of the Camellia sinensis extract is found to be 3520µM at the concentration of the standard is 1000µM and then FRAP value of absorbic acid is 2. HT 29 cell line was obtained from National Centre for Cell Sciences, Pune (NCCS). The highest concentration1000µg/ml of Camellia sinensis extract shows the minimum cell viability of 28%, the concentration of 7.8µg/ml shows the maximum cell viability of 77.41% and 100% cell viability by cell control.
