Abstract EN
The phytochemical, antioxidant and mineral composition of hydroalcoholic extract of leaves of Cichorium intybus L., was determined.
The leaves were found to possess comparatively higher values of total flavonoids, total phenolic acids.
The phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, in the leaves of the plant.
The leaf extract was found to show comparatively low value of IC50 for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition.
The IC50 value of chicory leaves extract was found to be 67.2 ± 2.6 µg / ml.
The extracts were found to contain high amount of mineral elements especially Mg and Zn.
Due to good phytochemical and antioxidant composition, C.
intybus L., leaves would be an important candidate in pharmaceutical formulations and play an important role in improving the human health by participating in the antioxidant defense system against free radical generation.
