Abstract EN
Valeriana jatamansi is an indigenous medicinal plant used in the treatment of a number of diseases.
In the present study, chemical composition of the essential oil was determined by GC-MS.
Seven major components were identified in Valeriana jatamansi essential oil, namely, β-vatirenene, β-patchoulene, dehydroaromadendrene, β-gurjunene, patchoulic alcohol, β-guaiene, and α-muurolene.
Methanolic, aqueous, and chloroform extracts of Valeriana jatamansi roots were also prepared and analyzed for their polyphenols and flavonoid content.
Antioxidant activity of essential oil and different extracts of Valeriana jatamansi roots was determined by DPPH radical scavenging and chelation power assay.
A linear correlation has been obtained by comparing the antioxidant activity and polyphenols and flavonoid content of the extracts.
Results indicated that antioxidant activity of methanolic extract could be attributed to the presence of rich amount of polyphenols and flavonoid.
Essential oil of Valeriana jatamansi roots showed moderate antioxidant activity.
