resumo
Reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species production inevitably occurs during normal
cell metabolism both in animals and plants. An excess of those species lead to oxidative and
nitrosative stresses, resulting in damage for some cellular molecules such as DNA, proteins
and lipids. Natural antioxidants have become a safety option to avoid biological oxidations involved
in cellular damage and deterioration of food quality. Rosa micrantha is one of the rose
species that grow feral in the Northeastern Portuguese region so called Nordeste Transmontano.
