The reported high phenolic levels in sorghum have led an interest from sorghum breeding programs in developing and identifying germplasms with high phenolic levels, which require screening a large number of samples to find those with the highest levels. Since wet chemistry screening methods are slow, expensive, and destructive, the use of NIR calibration curves could be an alternative. The obje...

To estimate phenols and flavonoids, enzymic antioxidants in the leaves of Boerhaavia erecta (LBE). The sample was extracted with 0.1M phosphate buffer for the analysis of phenols, flavonoids and antioxidants. The total phenolic content and total flavonoids in LBE were measured using Folin-Ciocalteau and aluminium chloride colorimetric methods respectively. The activity of Superoxide Dismutase (...
