Abstract

To analyse qualitative and quantitative phytochemical and evaluate in vitroantioxidant properties of various alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Orange peel.Preliminary phytochemical analysis for alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids,glycosides, phenols, resins, saponins, steroids, tannins, terpenoids and triterpenoids andquantitative phytochemical analysis for alkaloids, total phenolics, total flavonoids, tannins andsaponins were made by following standard procedures. The quantitative phytochemical analysis of this species exhibited the presence ofalkaloids, total phenolics, total flavonoids, tannins and saponins in considerablequantity.
