Quantitative Phytochemical Analysis and Antioxidant Profile of Nymphaea nouchali Flower
Abstract
The objective of the current investigation was to conduct both qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analyses, assess extraction yield, and evaluate the in-vitro antioxidant activity of N. nouchali flower through standard protocols.The extracts of N. nouchali flower were tested for nitric oxide radical scavenging (NORS), hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging (HPRS), 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging (DPPH-FRS), and superoxide anion radical scavenging (SOARS) radical scavenging inhibition using in-vitro procedure.Additionally, quantitative phytochemical analysis e.g., Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) were performed.The
