Phytochemical Profiling Using GCMS And Antioxidant Activity of Alpinia Purpurata Flower Extract
Main Article Content
Abstract
Chronic diseases are the major cause of death worldwide and its incidence increases day by day due to lifestyle as well as environmental factors. The present study carried out the screening of bioactive compounds present in Alpinia purpurata flower extract by using Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). Plants with their medicinal properties play an important role in food and pharmaceutical industry, one such asset of nature is Alpinia purpurata an ancient ayurvedic herb belonging to Zingiberecia family that is known for its cardioprotective due to presence of various polyphenolic compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins and glycosides. The present study mainly focused on the screening of bioactive compounds present in Alpinia purpurata flower extract using GC-MS investigation. Twenty four compounds were identified and they were capable of various pharmacological activities like anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-arthritic etc. This study will provide future directions in the field of development of food products using Alpinia purpurata flower extract.
