Abstract

The antioxidant potential of the leaf tissue of a promising accession of a seed amaranth, Amaranthus hypochondriacus (Accession no. IC47434) was evaluated in terms of metal chelating activity, anti-lipid peroxidation, and reducing properties, availability of flavonoids and phenolic acids. Selective RP-HPLC for some important health promoting phenolic acids and flavonoids of the lead accession demonstrated the significant availability of gallic acid, caffeic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferullic acid, rutin, kaempferol, elagic acid. The present study reports antioxidant-based multifunctional nutritional and pharmacological promise of leaf tissue of an established seed amaranth.
