Abstract

Solanumkurzii Br. berry used as folk food medicine among the Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh. The methanol extract of berry were evaluated for total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteu's method), total flavonoid content (colorimetric method) and antioxidant potential ((DPPH & ABTS). The methanol extract contains considerable contents of phenolic (14.60 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (89.00 μMRE/g) with antioxidant potential of 30.75 μM/g and 257.74μM/g in ABTS and DPPH assay respectively. The folk use as food and medicine and antioxidant potential of Solanumkurzii berry is discussed in the paper.
