Exploring the Phytochemical Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Acacia paradoxa, Acacia nilotica, and Acacia auriculiformis Barks

This research evaluates into the comprehensive phytochemical analysis and antioxidant potential assessment of Bark- Acacia nilotica, Acacia auriculiformis, Acacia paradoxa. These species are renowned for their rich diversity of Secondary metabolites, including Alkaloids, Saponins, Phenol, Tannins, Terpenoids. This Study demonstrates the Total Phenolic Content, Total Tannin Content and Total Flavonoid Content and Antioxidant Capacity of Acacia Bark. Acacia auriculiformis exhibited the highest TPC in Acetone extract 5270.2 ±0.01 mg GAE/g. Acacia auriculiformis exhibited the highest TFC in Acetone extract 2473.25 ±0.07 mg TA/g. Acacia auriculiformis Shows the Highest TTC in Acetone extract 245.14 ±0.02 mg QE/g. Methanol extract shows the Highest DPPH scavenging activity 61% at 1000 µg/ml in Acacia paradoxa. Acetone extract shows the Highest DPPH scavenging activity 71.82 % at 1000 µg/ml in Acacia nilotica. The results show that solvents are effective at extracting bioactive chemicals, as shown by the observation that lower IC50 values indicate that they are more effective at eliminating of free radicals.
