Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.) is a common herb used in cooking and recognized for its many health benefits. This study measured the antioxidant activity and citral content in lemongrass extracts made from air-dried and fresh plants by decoction and infusion. The plants were collected from one area each from three different municipalities in Iloilo (Pavia, Jaro and Lapaz) and two baranggays in Buenavista, Guimaras (Brgy. Daragan and Brgy. San Isidro). All plant extracts have…
