Molecular and biochemical Characterizations of Floral ScentProduction in Rosa Damascena Mill and Crocus sativusL

Since the beginning of history, human life has faced great challenges.Environmental issues and cardiovascular diseases, cancer,  can be considered as the most important of these issues. Most types of cancer are caused by oxidant which has destroyed vital molecules. These oxidants can be treated with synthetic antioxidants. Due to the side effects of synthetic antioxidants identification and extraction of antioxidants under the category of secondary plant metabolites can be facilitate the prevention and treatment of various cancers and decrease the side effects of medications.

The aim of this study iis study aims to identify the antioxidant power of Damask Damask rose and Saffron and their effect is on cancer cells.  Essential essence extraction using the water distillation method and it was done with the help of the Cloner glass device.

Determine the amount of Phenol, Flavonoids, and Anthocyanin in the extracts, ectively using the colorimetric method of Folin–Ciocalteu reagent, Principles of Colorimetric by Aluminum Chloride reagent, and the differentiated method was done. The antioxidant power of the extracts is determined using the DPPH free radical scavenging test and finally using the MTT method the effect of the extract on the cancer cells of Hela and K562 is tested.

.According to the received data, it can be concluded these two plants, especially Rosa   has high antioxidant power and very low costs for cultivation and high efficiency can develop research to produce Anti-cancer herbal medicines with low cost and much less fewer side effects.
