Abstract (2. Language): 
In vitro antioxidant activity of Psidium guajava, Juglans regia and Whey has been investigated by DPPH (1,1- dipheny-l,2-picryl hydrazyl) free radical, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. The equiproportion methanolic extracts of Psidium guajava, Juglans regia fruit and aqueous extract of Whey showed a concentration dependent inhibition of lipid peroxidation and a significant free radical scavenging action against DPPH free radical, hydroxyl radicals and by lipid peroxidation which was evaluated by comparing with standard apigenin, catechin and beta-lactoglobulin.
