ABSTRACT

Eatable seedlings of vegetables and herbs have gotten expanding consideration and they are treated as nourishments or superfoods because of their important health-promoting properties. In specific, the red cabbage plays a vital role because of their significant amount of bioactive constituents present in it. This study deals about the identification of secondary metabolite, phytochemical, GC-MS, UV and FTIR analysis and antioxidant activity of Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra (Red cabbage). From the ethanol and aqueous extract of red cabbage, phytochemical studies revealed the existence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, aminoacids, sterols, proteins, carbohydrates, triterpenoids, anthraquinones and saponins. For major peaks in the red cabbage extracts, UV-visible spectrophotometer findings revealed a wavelength range of 260–900 nm. Primary, secondary, aromatic and aliphatic amines, carboxylic acids, amides and alkanes were identified using FT-IR analysis. The crude extracts contained significant bioactive compounds, according to the results of GC-MS research. These secondary metabolites are completely related to potential benefits of humans. Many useful constituents were discovered by GC–MS research, indicating that Red cabbage could be used to make nutraceuticals as potent antioxidants to treat a variety of human diseases and their complications.
