Phytochemical Analysis and Antioxidant Activity of Juglans Regia L.

Abstract

Free radicals are the primary cause of the majority of degenerative diseases. The substances that collect free radicals are antioxidants. The main intent of current research was to make an inquiry into the phyto-chemical & in-vitro anti-oxidant profile of fruit husk of Juglans regia extract. The technique used to put to the test the antioxidant abilities of extracts included the DPPH assay, superoxide radical scavenging, ferric thiocyanate (FTC], and hydroxyl radical scavenging assay. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was screened using standard methods. Phytochemical investigation found that it contains carbohydrates, alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides and saponins. Methanolic extract of Juglans regia showed better antioxidant capability than ethyl acetate extract. According to the results of this study, Juglans regia fruit husks may be a reliable source of natural antioxidants.
