PURPOSE Gardenia jasminoides is a traditional medicinal plant rich in anti-inflammatory flavonoids and phenolic compounds and used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain. In this present study, antioxidant potential of Gardenia jasminoides leaves extract was evaluated by using various antioxidant assays. METHODS Various antioxidant assays such as 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (D...

This study represents an original work aimed to recognize the main constitution of Trigonella berythea. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of leaves and stems of T. berythea have been estimated. An extraction and purification of phenolic mixture compounds from the leaves and stems of this plant have been performed and their antioxidant potential using the DPPH, H2O2 and chel...

In this study we have demonstrated the variations of carbohydrates and phenolic compounds present in the leaves and stems of ‘Kinnow’ mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) trees in alternate bearing cycle and the possible involvement of these compounds to flower bud formation process. The amounts of these compounds were determined in the leaves and stems of “on” and “off” trees  monthly  from Nov...

Background: In Nigeria, the leaves of Manihot esculenta (Crantz) are eaten as vegetables. The leaves are rich in phytochemicals, valuable and natural sources of antioxidants, and are highly useful for human health and disease prevention. This study was aimed to evaluate the in vitro inhibitory effects of two extracts derived from the plant leaves on α-glucosidase and α-amylase. The total flavon...

Turmeric leaves (Curcuma longa L.) contain secondary metabolites, one of which is a phenolic compound. The choice solvent important in the extraction process, ethanol chosen because it can attract compounds that are soluble non-polar to polar solvents. concentrations this study were 60, 70, 80, and 96% with method used was maceration. screening test obtained positive results for content. This i...

Ficus carica is a worldwide important crop. Its different parts such as leaves, stem barks, fruit and roots are used in traditional medicine from ancient age to treat the various diseases. In this research, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, yield of extract and profiling of phenolic compounds of maturated leaves of different cultivars of F. carica were investigated by using two diff...

BACKGROUND The study of phenolic compounds profiles and antioxidative activity in ginseng fruit, leaves, and roots with respect to cultivation years, and has been little reported to date. Hence, this study examined the phenolic compounds profiles and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical-scavenging activities in the fruit, leaves, and roots of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) a...

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) leaves were studied to assess the potential of apricot leaves for future studies and their applications in nutraceutical and bioactive functional ingredients. The changes in the phenolic profile, carotenoids, pigments and antioxidant potential were studied at four maturation stages. Polyphenols and carotenoids were studied using reversed-phase HPLC-DAD. Pigments, t...

Chromolaena odorata L. or C. is a weed that found in tropical continents . Leaves, roots and flowers of have been used as medicinal plants for centuries. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the chemical composition its extracts having phenolic compounds such flavonoids, saponins, tannins steroids. The total (TPC) are acknowledged biochemical activities antiinflammatory, antiviral, antimi...

This study aims to determine nutritional as well as medicinal properties of Moringa oleifera (Drumstick) and Cicer arietinum (Chick pea) leaves. The possible health benefits of these underutilized leafy vegetables were explored by determining total phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, free radical-scavenging activity by 2, 2diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and phytochemicals extracted with ac...
