Abstract
Biebersteinia odora (family Biebersteiniaceae), an aromatic perennial herbaceous plant, is traditionally, a significant medicinal plant, valued by various cultures for its medicinal properties. The present study explores the phytochemical composition and antioxidant potential of the aqueous extract of B. odora. The analysis revealed that at its 1% concentration, the total phenolic, flavonoid, and tannin content were 5.97 mg FAE g-1, 0.34 mg QE g-1, and 121.53 mg TAE g-1, respectively. The total antioxidant capacity ranged between 0.05 and 0.53 mg AAE g-1. In vitro antioxidant assays revealed concentration-dependent scavenging potential of the extract. Further, GCMS identified 21 putative compounds with strong pharmacological potential and FTIR spectra revealed the presence of functional groups with OH as the major functional group. Based on the study, it is established that B. odora possesses a strong phytochemical composition and significant antioxidant capabilities, providing valuable insights into its therapeutic potential and supporting its role in holistic healing practices.
