Abstract :

The present study was designed to investigate the antioxidant activity of Phyllanthus emblica L. (Leaf), The fresh leaves of this plant were extracted the chlorophyllin content and the potential of this edible plant was evaluated by DPPH assay (1,1 diphenyl – 2 picrylhydrazyl) which is the scavenging assay. The radical scavenging activity of the leaf extract was measured as decolurising activity followed by the trapping of the unpaired electron of DPPH. The percentage decrease of DPPH standard solution was recorded 82.05% of inhibition for Phyllanthus emblica L. when compared with authentic chlorophyllin. In the conclusion of this study Phyllanthus emblica L. possess more potential activity. The result indicated that this plant extract could be an important dietary source with antioxidant.
