ABSTRACT
Aim:
The aim of the present study was to characterize Lepidium sativum seed for phytochemicals, fatty acid composition and antioxidant properties.Methodology:
Extraction of phytochemicals in different solvents, estimation of phenolics and flavonoids, physio-chemical properties, antioxidant assay by DPPH method was carried out. Seed oil content was determined by modified cold percolation extraction method and TD-NMR, followed by fatty acid compositional analysis using GLC.Results:
The perusal of data revealed that the total oil content varied from 21.36% to 24.38%, and the major fatty acids identified were linolenic acid (24.447%) followed by oleic acid (24.413%) and palmitic acid (12.278%) . Physio-chemical and phytochemical characteristics were estimated for useful functional properties and markers viz. alkaloids, sugar and proteins. L. sativum seeds exhibited high antioxidant potential (0.063mg ml-1) compared to standard compounds such as ascorbic acid, rutin and quercetin.
