Curcuma amada Roxb. is a perennial, rhizomatous, aromatic herb belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. This plant is commonly known as "Amba ada", "Mango ginger" due to the flavour of rhizome resemble as raw mango. This plant is used in traditional systems of medicine (Ayurveda and Unani) from the ancient period for the treatment of various types of diseases. C. amada have also possessed several pharmaceutical properties such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticancer, anti hyperglyceridemic, antioxidant activity etc. The above said pharmaceutical activity may be shown due to the presences of various bioactive compounds including tannins, saponins, flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, curcumin, demethoxy curcumin, bis-demethoxy curcumin etc. Therefore, the present study was conducted to the preliminary screening of the phytochemicals, quantitative phytochemicals analysis, and antioxidant activity of rhizome and leaf powder sample of C. amada. In this study found that the contents of tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and flavonoids were higher in rhizome in comparison to leaf. Phenolics content was more in leaf sample than the rhizome. Antioxidant activity of rhizome was more than the leaf of C. amada. Acetone extract of the rhizome is higher than methanol extract of the rhizome Not Available |
