| Abstract | ||
| phytochemical investigation of the primary (carbohydrates and amino acids) and secondary metabolites of Persicaria sal�icifolia seeds revealed the presence of free sugars and amino acids, they were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. Also fifty-two active compounds were identified from n-hexane extract of Persicaria salicifolia seeds. Total phenolics and flavonoids were determined colourmitercally. The phenolics were identified using LC/MS. From this study Persicaria salicifolia seeds can be considered as a promising pharmaceutical agent. | ||
