NUTRITIVE VALUE, PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING, TOTAL PHENOLIC, IN-VITRO BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES, AND ICP-MS ANALYSIS OF PRUNUS DOMESTICA L. (LEAVES) Authors: Kishan , SHUKLA RK*, SHUKLA A AND CHANDRA H
ABSTRACT
Several studies on Prunus domestica L. are reported on the fruit of this plant species.
Therefore, the current study was carried out on the leaves of P. domestica to evaluate the
nutritive value, qualitative phytochemical screening, total phenolic content, antioxidant
activity, antibacterial activity, protein denaturation inhibitory activity, and elemental analysis
using ICP-MS technique. The study revealed that it has a significant nutritive value and the
presence of many secondary metabolites. TPC was highest in diethyl ether fraction.
Antioxidant activity was also highest in diethyl ether. Four extracts have shown antibacterial
activity except for petroleum ether extract. Petroleum ether, methanolic, and aqueous extracts
are found to be active in the selected concentration range for protein denaturation inhibition
activity.
