Comparative Phytochemical Investigation and Antioxidant Activity in Different Parts of Acacia nilotica Seed

Acacia nilotica, indigenously known as ‘Babool’ of family Leguminosae has many traditional and ethnobotanical uses. All the parts tree are important seeds most abundantly available which rich in different phytochemicals. Thus, aim this study was qualitative quantitative analysis phytochemicals evaluation antioxidant activity nilotica seed along with their viz. cotyledon endosperm a potential source nutritional medicinal applications. Phytochemicals carbohydrate, protein, alkaloid, flavonoids, phenolics, saponin tannin were present seed, endosperm. Cotyledon sugar, protein oil, i.e. 4.73 %, 17.83 30.45 % 11.78 respectively whereas phenolics flavonoids 2.66 mg/g gallic acid equivalent 7.66 quercetin respectively. Antioxidant studies showed that exhibited maximum percentage inhibition 74.07 compared to standard butylated hydroxyanisole having 82.88 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals. The revealed specific utilization have scope supplements useful bioactive extracts for sustainable health benefits.
