Aegle marmelos is a plant belonging to the genus Aegle and family Rutaceae. It is locally known as "Bael" and widely present in the sub-Himalayan region. This study identified the phytochemicals and antioxidant properties in different extracts derived from dried leaves of A. marmelos-a value addition to waste bael-patra. The phytochemical screening of A. marmelos dried leaves revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, steroids, and tannins. The antioxidant activity of the examined extracts varies depending on the solvent used. The antioxidants evaluated by using DPPH and CV methods showed the same hierarchy: water>acetone>ethanol with maximum 79 % inhibition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
