Phytochemical Composition And 2, 2-Azino-Bis (3- Ethylbenzothazolin-6-Sulphonic Acid (ABTS) Scavenging Activity Of Hydro-Ethanolic Extract Of Amaranth Us Hybridus Leaves
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to estimate the phytochemical composition and ABTS radical
scavenging activity of Amarantlius hybridus leaves. Phytochemical composition was determined
using standard protocol. The result revealed that Amaranthus hybridus contained some bioactive
compounds such as Alkaloids (l.84g/lOOg), Flavonoids (O.06g/100g), Cyanides (O.47g/lOOg),
Phenols (3.25g/lOOg) and Tannins (O.48g/lOOg). ABTS free radicals scavenging activity was
tested to determine the antioxidant capacity in the extracts. The result shows that Amaranthus
hybridus can reduce free radicals in the body when consumed. Therefore, exploitation of the
potential of Amaranthus hybridus leaves especially in areas of traditional medicine and
pharmaceutical industries is hereby recommended.
