PHYTOCHEMICAL AND IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF AQUEOUS LEAF EXTRACTS OF BRASSICA JUNCEA AND CORIANDRUM SATIVUM
AbstractIn the present study, Phytochemical and in vitro Antioxidant potential of aqueous leaf extracts of Brassica juncea and Coriandrum sativum leaves was determined qualitatively. The Phytochemical screening of plants studied showed the presence of terpenoids, flavonoids, tannin and reducing sugar in aqueous extract of Brassica juncea. Alkaloids and glycosides were absent in it. Aqueous extract of Coriandrum sativumshowed the presence of tannins, terpenoids, reducing sugars, flavonoids, and glycosides and alkaloids were absent in aqueous extract of Coriandrum sativum. It had been found that among the aqueous extracts ofBrassica juncea and Coriandrum sativum, the highest activity of Catalase was observed inaqueous extract of Brassica juncea than in aqueous extract of Coriandrum sativum. The peroxidase activity was observed to be low in aqueous extract of Brassica juncea. The value of ascorbate oxidase activity andVitamin C content was high in aqueous extract of Coriandrum sativum.The main purpose of the study is to evaluate phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of used plants
