Calligonum polygonoides L. (Phog) is an endemic perennial herb that is highly resistant to
all type of abiotic stresses and dominant biomass as well as phytochemicals producer in its natural
habitat of the “Thar Desert” of Rajasthan, India. The present study was conducted to evaluate the
effect of extreme environmental conditions on the phenolic, flavonoids, tannin content, and total
antioxidant activities of C. polygonoides foliage harvested during different months. It exhibited a
significant variation in the content of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, and antioxidant
activity with harvesting time and all parameters are positively correlated to each other. The highest
phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity was observed during severe winter and summer
months, when monthly average environmental temperature was lowest and highest of the year,
respectively. On the basis of the results, two harvests of C. polygonoides foliage during June and
December are advised to maximize the phenolic compound production with highest antioxidant
activity. These results demonstrate C. polygonoides, which is a dominant biomass producer under the
harsh climatic conditions, can be an important source for the development of the functional foods
rich in antioxidants in hot arid regions.
