Assessment of antioxidant potentials of functional parts of medicinal plant (Jatropa multifida)
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: The present research was conducted to evaluate antioxidant properties and phenolic potentials of leaf and flower parts of a medicinal plant (Jatropa multifida). Extracts were prepared from the leaf and flower of the plants with aqueous and methanolic solvents system at 5.0% concentration. Total phenolic contents of plant extracts was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method while free radical scavenging ability of leaf and flower plant extracts was assessed using 2,2-diphenyl-2-pricrylhydrazyl [DPPH]. Results revealed significantly (P
