In vitro analysis of antioxidant activity of DPPH radical scavenging, reducing properties were analyzed in different varieties. The biochemical constituents of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, dietary fibre and total phenol contents of both the ripe and unripe eggplant were also evaluated. The results indicate that purple color eggplant showed higher amount of nasunin antioxidants and phenolics than white colored varieties However, both purple and white colored varieties of eggplant exerted similar free radical scavenging activity and reducing property.
