<title><b>Drying effect of green apple (<i>Maluspumila</i>) on its physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content</b></title>
<abstract>Evidence suggests that a diet higher in fruits and vegetables may decrease the risk of Ceaseless diseases and thus the aim of this work is to compare the phytochemicals TPC and antioxidant activity of different crude extracts of freeze dried and tray dried green apple powder.( lessThan i greaterThan Malus pumila). lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan In vitro lessThan /i greaterThan  phytochemical screening for all the crude extracts showed a positive result for alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, tannin and terpenoids compounds. Thus acetone, hexane and ethanol extracts were used for further tests. The antioxidant activity of freeze dried crude extracts to DPPH was in the order of acetone greaterThan  hexane  greaterThan  ethanol. However, the order of antioxidant activity for tray dried organic crude extracts to DPPH was in order of hexane  greaterThan  acetone  greaterThan  ethanol extract. The TPC of tray dried sample extract was found to be hexane greaterThan acetone greaterThan ethanol, similarly freeze dried sample extract was found to be acetone greaterThan hexane greaterThan ethanol. The result obtained in present study indicated  lessThan i greaterThan Malus pumila  lessThan /i greaterThan as a rich source of natural antioxidants, and provides evidence that solvent extract of  lessThan i greaterThan Malus pumila  lessThan /i greaterThan especially the hexane extracts contains medicinally important bioactive compounds and this justifies the use of the fruit as traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases.</abstract>
