Abstract

In the present investigation, two varieties viz. DH-5 and DH-36 of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) were assayed for their phytochemical profile and screened for their DPPH free radical scavenging activity and antioxidant activity. Phytochemicals from coriander leaves were extracted using water, ethanol and acetone. The results revealed that among the two varieties; DH-5 had higher total phenolics, flavonoids, chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b contents, moreover DH-5 also exhibited higher DPPH free radical scavenging activity and antioxidant activity by b-carotene bleaching method in comparison to DH-36. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of extracts increased with increase of concentration levels. Amongst the different extracts, acetone extract of both varieties of coriander contained highest flavonoids content and also exhibited highest antioxidant activity whereas total phenolics were found to be highest in water extract of both varieties.
