Quantitative determination of phytochemicals, anti-nutrient content and mineral analysis of edible Indian spices Cornus capitata was carried out. Results disclosed that the fruits are rich in crude fibre (26.00%) and carbohydrate (22.63%) with moisture of 43.75%. Analyses of the mineral content demonstrated high level of Ca (5020.0 ppm), Mg (747.0 ppm), Na (170.62 ppm) and Fe (100.32 ppm). Extract contains 27.69 mg gallic acid equivalents – GAE/g of total phenolic compounds. Condensed tannins and monomeric anthocyanins were the predominant phenolics (21.29 mg GAE/g, 11.59 mg CGE/g, respectively). The total saponins, alkaloids and oxalates contents were low. Several methods were used to investigate in vitro antioxidant activity, whereby total antioxidant capacity (265.72 mg equivalents of ascorbic acid – AA/g) and DPPH scavenging activity (IC50 = 234.00 μg/ml) stood out. In the case of antimicrobial activity, highest sensitivity was demonstrated on Esherichia coli ATCC 25922 (MIC = 2.5 mg/ml) and Enterococcus faecalis (MIC = 5 mg/ml). C. capitata fruit has high nutritional and low anti-nutritional content as well as considerable antioxidant and antimicrobial activity with possible nutritional and health implications.
