ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of air-dried Cordia dichotoma seeds. Total polyphenolic content was analyzed via the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Total triterpenoid content and amino acids was analyzed colorimetrically
The rosmarinic acid content was examined using high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
The ethanolic extracts contained polyphenolic compounds [1.0%], triterpenoids [0.075%], amino acids [1.39%], and rosmarinic acid [0.0028%]. The results from this study indicate that C. dichotoma seeds are a rich source of polyphenolic compounds and amino acids, which can be used for quality assessment. The ethanolic extract of C dichotoma seeds has good antioxidant capacity
