Comparative Analysis of Phytochemicals and Antioxidant Free Radicals Scavenging Activity of Capsicum Annuum L. and Capsicum Frutescens L.

<p><span lang="EN-IN">Many different types of chemicals found in medicinal plants have significant therapeutic qualities that can be applied to the treatment of human illnesses. Approximately 80% of people in rich countries use traditional medicine that is based on medicinal herbs. Usually fragrant and peppery, spices are plant- based goods. The presence of different kinds of essential oils in these plants has been proposed as the source of these characteristics. The naturally broken- down dried plant parts- fruits, seeds, bark, roots, and flowers – are specifically utilized to taste, season, colour and preserve food products. When compared to the distilled water extract, the metabolic extract of leaves showed the highest total phenolic content and the highest total flavonoid content, indicating a greater number of phytochemicals. High antioxidant capacity was also demonstrated by the leaves’ methanol extract. Additionally, the potential purification of phytochemicals found in methanolic extract could aid in pinpointing specific phytochemicals, creating phytochemical profiles, and examining how they differ across the same species thriving in various habitats or Capsicum spp</span><span>.</span></p>
