Present study deals with antioxidant potential of sequential extracts of fresh and dried rhizomes of Curcuma caesia,
using solvents viz., hexane, petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and water, which was
analyzed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay, total antioxidant capacity, ferric reducing
activity and thiobarbituric acid reactive species assay. Total phenol content was estimated by the Folin-Ciocalteau
method. C. caesia showed significant antioxidant activity in chloroform, benzene and ethyl acetate extracts. The
chloroform extract was highly effective as free radical scavengers, electron-donating agents and reducing molybdate
ions except for reducing lipid peroxidation. The highest total phenol content was also exhibited by chloroform and
benzene extracts. Antioxidant potential expressed by C. caesia in the sequential extracts could be effectively utilized
for identification of the bioactive compounds for future phytopharmacological applications.
