Determination of Physicochemical parameters and DPPH radical scavenging activity of Chenopodium album Linn

The existing study was conceded out to offer requisite detail of Phytochemical and Physicochemical parameters and radical scavenging activity of the plant Chenopodium album Linn. Materials and Method: In the present work, different extracts of Chenopodium album Linn (C. album) were prepared and tested for the presence of secondary metabolites and various physico-chemical parameters for the phytochemical analysis of plant. All polar extract were tested for the free radical scavenging activity. Results: The pharmacognostical results exposed the presence of flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids in the plant and significant physico-chemical values. Utmost free radical scavenging activity was found to be in butanol fraction and lowly in dichloromethane extract. Conclusion: It may be concluded that C. album Linn could be a source of therapeutic and natural scavenging agent
