ASSESMENT OF NUTRACEUTICAL PROFILES AND FTIRS ANALYSIS OF CELOSIA ARGENTEA (L.) AQUEOUS LEAVE EXTRACT

The movement of nutrients and metabolites changes constantly in various plant organs and tissues during growth and development. Celosia argentea, a common vegetable in West and Central Africa, is commonly cultivated for decorative use in regions like Malaysia in the tropics and subtropics. The objective of this research is to analyze the FTIR profile spectrophotometric, phytochemicals, mineral composition, vitamins, Proximate, and in vitro antioxidant activities of Celosia argentea leaves aqueous extract. Standard procedures were used to conduct qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening and profile spectra infrared analysis. Minerals were determined with inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer, while Proximate and vitamins were analyzed using AOAC methods. The antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH methods. The antioxidant activity is directly linked to the presence of hydroxyl group in phenolic compounds. The initial chemical analysis showed that the aqueous leaf extract of celosia argentea has a significant level of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and glycosides. Mineral analysis indicated a higher amount of calcium at ۳۷۵.۱۴mg/۱۰۰g and a lower amount of Lead at ۰.۰۸mg/۱۰۰g. The scavenging activity of Celosia argentea against DPPH increased with higher concentrations. The maximum scavenging activity of Celosia argentea was observed to be ۹۳. ۸۳% at a concentration of ۰.۵mg/ml. Vitamins A, C, and E are found in substantial amounts, with vitamin E having the highest concentration at ۲۰۱.۵۴mg/۱۰۰g DW. In summary, this study shows that Celosia argentea leaves have therapeutic benefits because of their bioactive compounds, proximate, Vitamins, minerals.Celosia argentea has strong antioxidant properties & effective against oxidative harm.
