| Popis: | The present investigation was intended to study the phytochemical composition as well as juice characteristics of seven plant samples viz. S. cumini L., S. fructicosum Roxb. DC., Basella alba L., Basella rubra L., R. indica L., R. damascena Mill. and R. bracteata J.C. Wendl. collected from different places of Jorhat district, Assam, India. R. indica L., R. damascena Mill. and R. bracteata J.C. Wendl. of Rosaceae family was found with higher ascorbic acid content (139.84mg/100g, 142.72 mg/100g and 120.93 mg/100g) as well as total phenolic content (1516.52 mg GAE/100g, 1380.67 mg/100g and 1347.23 mg GAE/100g). Fruits of Basella rubra L. had higher total flavonoid content (292.52 mg QE/100g) followed by fruits of Basella rubra L. (262.88 mg QE/100g) and flowers of Rosa bracteata J.C. Wendl. (196.12 mg QE/100g). Fruits of S. cumini L. are found to be rich in anthocyanin content (124.87 mg/100g) as well as total ash (1.84%) and minerals like phosphorus (32.53 mg/100g), sodium (96.24 mg/100g), calcium (142.36 mg/100g) and potassium (252.44 mg/100g). Higher iron content (4.37 mg/100g) was quantified in fruits of Basella rubra L. |
