Abstract
The aim of this work was to estimate the total phenolic and flavonoid content, and to evaluate in-vitro antioxidant activity of flavonoids rich extract of Cassia auriculata Linn. (CAF) saponins rich extract of C. auriculata Linn. (CAS) which belongs to the family Caesalpiniaceae. Total phenolic content in CAF was found to be 67.32 μg/mg of extract calculated as gallic acid equivalent (r2 = 0.976) and total flavonoids compound was found to be 31 μg/mg of extract calculated as rutin equivalent (r2 = 0.985). The extract was screened for its potential antioxidant activities using tests such as DPPH free radical scavenging activity, reducing power activity, and hydrogen peroxide-scavenging activity. The in-vitro antioxidant assay showed that both CAF as well as CAS posses antioxidant activity. So C. auriculata Linn. could be useful for preparation of neutraceuticals as potent antioxidants, to treat various human diseases and its complications.
