Phytochemistry, micronutrient composition, and antioxidant potentials of Citrus maxima (Shaddock) fruit juice

Citrus maxima fruit, the largest of all varieties has been observed to be less consumed compared other fruits. Paucity information/awareness about its nutritive/medicinal properties could a reason for that hence an increased research on nutritive potentials boost consumption. This study was designed evaluate phytochemistry, micronutrient composition and in vitro antioxidant potentials. juice obtained from fruit using manual screw extractor. Analysis carried out standard methods. Phytochemical analysis fresh C showed presence phenols, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, steroids terpenoids. Zinc, copper, iron, magnesium, Vitamins E were present appreciable quantities. scavenged 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) superoxide (O2). possesses considerable amounts phytochemicals, minerals, vitamins E, relative
