Comparative study of nutritive value and antioxidant activity on Sennatora and celosia Argentea

The healthy and well-balanced diet can play a significant role in the prevention of diseases associated with nutritional value. In the present study two commonly used wild vegetables like Celosia argentea, and Sennatora are taken to investigate. For studying nutritive value and antioxidant activity plant extracts were prepared from both fresh and dried materials as per methodology and showed significant result for both nutritive value like moisture content, mineral elements, proteins, carbohydrates, reducing and non-reducing sugars. And antioxidant activities like Total Phenols, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Free radical scavenging activity. Demand for the accurate determination of antioxidant capacity is gaining importance in most areas within the food industry; therefore several analytical methods and measuring systems have been developed. According to above mentioned it is important and reasonable to get to know and to investigate the antioxidant characteristics of the vegetables and fruits which we intake and to know the compounds that play significant role in developing the antioxidant capacity. Similarly nutritive value of a given plant plays important role in maintaining health problems. And demand for the accurate nutritive analysis and measurement is increasing as people are moving more towards natural products as they are safe.
