Abstract :Plants are an important source of natural active products that differ depending on the chemical components they contain. Since extracts and phytochemicals isolated from plants show biological activity in vitro and in vivo, today plants are used as alternative treatment sources. Apium graveolens (celery) has powerful antioxidant properties to remove free radicals due to compounds such as coumarin, alkaloids, steroids, phenols, essential oils, sesquiterpene alcohols, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, apigenin, luteolin, tannin, saponin and kaempferol. Celery with different compounds and different concentrations has various healing effects. The aim of this study was to review the antioxidant activity of celery.Keywords : Apium graveolens, Celery, Antioxidant activity
