GC-MS PROFILING AND ASSESSMENT OF ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTY OF BEGONIA ALBOCOCCINEA HOOK.

Abstract

In the present investigation, bioactive compound identification by GCMS and free radicals representing the antioxidant activity of Begonia albococcinea Hook. was investigated. In the antioxidant activity study, the ethanolic extract of B.albococcinea exhibited significant inhibitory effects on DPPH scavenging activity (P-Value 0.406 > 0.05 α value) and ferrous chelation activity (P-Value 0.362 >0.05 α value) hence significant activity was calculated in total antioxidant property (P-Value0.00016
