Abstract :
The present study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity and preliminary phytochemical analysis of alcoholic and aqueous leaf extracts of Emblica Officinalis Fruit. The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by using FRAP assay, Metal chelating assay, DPPH radical scavenging assay, superoxide-radical scavenging assay and Hydrogen peroxide scavenging. Significant antioxidant activity of Ethanolic leaf extract of Emblica Officinalis Fruit Might be due to the presence of Glycosides, Anthraquinone, Phytosterols, Saponins, Tannins & Phenolic compounds, Flavonoids, Steroids found in the preliminary phytochemical analysis.
Our findings suggest the use of Emblica Officinalis Fruit in designed for prevention of various chronic diseases including respiratory disorders, hyperdipsia, epilepsy, fever, sexual debility, paralysis, stomach ulcers, rheumatism, skin diseases, hemorrhagic diseases, and jaundice. However, further studies are needed to prove that the protective effects observed in vitro do indeed translate in vivo.
Key words: Emblica Officinalis Fruit, Antioxidant activity
