Aniruddha Sarma*, Pramod Medhi and Chandan Deka
ABSTRACT
Nymphaea ampla, under the family Nymphaeaceae, is a freshwater flowering plant. The corms of this aquatic plant were collected and subjected to nutritional investigation. The phyto-chemical constituents like total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity were investigated quantitatively. The presence of secondary metabolites supports its medicinal values. The antioxidant activities were analyzed using DPPH scavenging assay. Total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents were found 102±0.06 μgGAE/mg, 25.67±0.02 μgQE/mg from dry powdered samples respectively. Total phenolic contents, flavanoid content and ascorbic acid were correlated with the antioxidant activities. Results obtained Keywords: Nymphaea ampla, white water lily, nutraceutical study, Ramser site Assam. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
