Abstract: The process of removing hydrogen or electrons from a substance is called oxidation. Different kinds of free radicals are generated as a result of oxidation reactions which trigger various chain reactions and have a tendency to cause damage to the system. These chain reactions are stopped by antioxidants which quench the free radical intermediates thereby retarding the oxidation reactions. The antioxidants are agents which aid in the reduction.
