Haematocarpus validus, Phytochemical profiling.
Abstract
Haematocarpus validus (Menispermaceae) has been reported herein for the first time from Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This iron-rich fruit is one among the lesser known and underutilized plant. Phytochemical profiling and estimation of anti-nutritional factors of three different fruit fractions viz., pulp, pericarp and seed have been carried out and it was found that pulp invariably had the highest amounts of all the estimated phytochemicals; total polyphenol (400 GAE mg/100g), flavonoid (542 RE mg/100g), Tannin (275.56 TAE mg/100g) and anthocyanin (203.77 C3GE mg/100g). Among the antinutritional factors, pulp contained lower amounts of nitrate, phytate, saponin and oxalate. The RP- HPLC chromatogram revealed its richness in beta carotenoid.
