Phytochemical screening and in vitro antioxidant activity of Aegle marmelos leaf extract

Abstract

The present work is based on the study of the antioxidant properties of Aegle marmelos (L). correa. This plant sometimes recognized as bael, is widely renowned for its medical uses and is utilized to cure a variety of illnesses. Several kinds of phytochemicals such as tannins, alkaloids, phenols, resins, coumarins, etc. are present in the leaf extract of A. marmelos. To find the existence of secondary metabolites in the leaf extracts, phytochemical screening was carried out. The ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity were applied to assess the antioxidant properties of A. marmelos. Diverse extracts of A. marmelos possess antioxidant activity.
