Comprehensive Analysis of Secondary Metabolites in Manilkara Zapota L.: Qualitative and Quantitative approaches
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The research presents an in-depth examination of the secondary metabolites found in Manilkara zapota L. (sapodilla) utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Fresh leaves and seeds were gathered, processed, and extracted with methanol and acetone. Phytochemical analysis identified significant bioactive compounds, including tannins, alkaloids, steroids and glycosides, primarily in the methanol extracts of the leaves. The antioxidant capacity was assessed using the DDPH assay, revealing that acetone extracts, especially from the seeds, exhibited superior antioxidant activity compared to those extracted with methanol.
