Abstract
The fruits are the oldest types of food which accompany with the biological activities. In different chapters, Holy Quran accentuates the importance of plants which cure different diseases. Objectives: This study was performed to synthesis the scientific and religious point of view regarding the native plants and informs about the types of fruits mentioned in Quran. Materials and Methods: The fruits are classified based on the scientific, English, local names and species name. To specify the antioxidant properties, the tests such as diphenyl picrylhydrazyl , the trolex antioxidant activities and the antioxidant activity of iron restoration were used. Total Phenol was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Results: Phenolic compound contents ranges from 36 to 149 mg Gallic acid/100 g extract as measured by Folin-Ciocalteu method. The maximum and minimum amount of antioxidant activity was 0.3-3.83 mg/mL extract. The limited amount of the antioxidant activity using iron restoration method ranged from 0.73 to 10.58 Mmol of Fe (II)/100 mg extract. The maximum and minimum amount of antioxidant activity was 12.4 Mmol and 0.91Mmol trolex/g extract, respectively. The amount of antioxidant activity was observed in pomegranate, olive, date palm and figs. Conclusions: Medicinal herbs are used extensively due to the public acceptance, the least amount of damage and the minimal side effects on consumers.
