A COMPARISON ON PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIOXIDANT PROFILE OF ARTOCARPUS HETEROPHYLLUS SEEDS
Shahana Ahamed A.* and N. Jayshree
ABSTRACT The present study was carried out with the objective to study the variation in phyto constituents and anti-oxidant property among the various extracts of Artocarpus heterophyllus seeds. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids and alkaloids. The antioxidant property was evaluated using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay using quercetin as the standard. The antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract was found to be the strongest, followed in descending order by dichloromethane: methanol and acetone extract. The IC50 values of the ethanol, dichloromethane: methanol and acetone extracts were found to be 320,470, 362 μg/ml respectively. Keywords: DPPH, antioxidant, phytochemical, flavonoid.
