Objectives: The study's goal was to determine the phytochemical elements and antioxidant potential in the leaves of Syzygium cumini (Myrtaceae) (using a variety of polarity solvents, including aqueous, ethanol, and methanol), which have traditional and complementary medicines to treat a variety of metabolic problems.
Methodology: The leaves were washed, dried in the open air and ground into a coarse powder. Before the phytochemical screening, the powders were separated into five groups and soaked individually for one week in distilled water, ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane.
Results: The antioxidant activity ranged from 12 to 20 mg/ml with the 50 percent ethanol extract having the maximum antioxidant activity. The sample’s phenolic concentration was found to be between 0.54 a.. Read More»
