Phytochemical and Antioxidant activity of aqueous extract of Drypetes seperia (Putranjivaceae) fruit

Ranjani R., Madan Mohan V., Manipal K.

Abstract


The study aimed to investigate phytochemical constituents and antioxidant capacity of aqueous extract of Drypetes seperia fruit pulp to testify its ethnobotanical claim. Quantification of phytochemicals, Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) and Antioxidant capacity determination was done by DPPH and ABTS assay. Results showed high TPC contents, TFC, and Anti-oxidant assays revealed anti-radical aptitude proving Drypetes seperia fruits as natural therapeutic agents justifying the ethnobotanical claim.
