Abstract
This study presents a thorough examination of the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of Bombax ceiba and Camellia sinensis. Through extensive phytochemical screening, we identify and analyze the diverse bioactive compounds present in both plants. The physiological study delves into the intricate details of the plants physiological attributes, shedding light on their unique characteristics. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity is meticulously assessed to gauge the potential health benefits associated with these plant extracts. This study focuses on the determination of the total flavonoid content and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activity of selected plant extracts. The total flavonoid content is assessed using a standardized method, providing insights into the concentration of flavonoids in the extracts. The total phenolic content is assessed for their traditional therapeutic uses by utilizing specific method or technique for the extraction and quantification of phenolic compounds. The DPPH scavenging activity is evaluated to understand the antioxidant potential of the plant extracts. The abstract summarizes the methodology and key findings related to the total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity, offering a concise overview of the study's contributions to the understanding of the medicinal properties of Bombax ceiba and Camellia sinensis.
