COMPARATIVE STUDY ON PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY ON ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF MUSA ACUMINATE AND MANGIFERA INDICA

The present study was undertaken to investigate in vitro antioxidant activity of alcoholic extract of musa acuminata and mangifera indica . Method and methodlogy: The total Phenolic content was determined using folinciocalteau method while the total flavanoid content was determined using aluminum chloride method. In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using the Reducing power assay , Hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, nitric oxide scavenging activity, and DPPH scavenging activity. Result: In the present study we have conclude that Mangifera Indica has a significant activity than Musa Acuminata Key words: Mangifera Indica, Musa Acuminata, DPPH Scavenging Activity, Nitricoxide Radical Scavenging Activity, Hydrogen Peroxide Scavenging Activity.
