Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 80% of the world’s population relies on traditional medicine, particularly plant-based drugs, for primary health care. This study investigates the distribution of chemical constituents in various parts of the Tecoma plant and their antioxidant activities. The antioxidant potential was assessed using the DPPH free radical scavenging method, determining the maximum percentage inhibition of DPPH radicals by different extracts from various parts of Tecoma under different drying conditions. The results indicated that drying significantly affects the antioxidant activity of Tecoma. Shade-dried parts exhibited superior activity compared to those dried in the sun or hot air oven. This finding underscores the importance of drying methods in preserving the medicinal properties of Tecoma, highlighting the role of traditional processing techniques in maintaining the efficacy of plant-based treatments. These insights contribute to the broader understanding of how preparation methods influence the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, reinforcing their value in primary health care systems worldwide
