EVALUATION OF PHYTOCHEMICALS, ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND NUTRIENT CONTENT OF CENTELLA ASIATICA (L.) URBAN LEAVES FROM DIFFERENT LOCALITIES OF ASSAM
Leaves of lessThan i greaterThan Centella asiatica lessThan /i greaterThan collected from three districts (considered different samples) of Assam were analysed for phytochemical constituents, antioxidant activity and nutrient content. Data showed that saponin, tannin, phenol, flavonoid, trapezoid, cardiac glycoside, alkaloid and reducing sugar were present in all the samples. The order of total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the samples were sample 2 greaterThan sample 3 greaterThan sample 1 while the order of nutrient content was sample 1 greaterThan sample 3 greaterThan sample 2 lessThan i greaterThan . lessThan /i greaterThan The results revealed that both primary and secondary metabolite content of plants varies with variation of growing localities.
