Present study was undertaken to evaluate eight enzymatic antioxidants in Citrus karna. Those are Glutathione-S-transferase, Peroxidase, Glutathione peroxidase, Polyphenol oxidase, Glutathione reductase, Superoxide dismutase, Guaiacol peroxidase and Catalase. Seeds were taken for assaying all the above antioxidants and found Peroxidase enzyme having highest specific activity (8.182U/mg).
