ABSTRACT
Basella Alba (Malabar spinach) and Amaranthus Viridis (slender amaranth) are two significant plants known for their nutritional and medicinal properties. Despite their importance, there is limited comparative research on their secondary metabolite profiles. This study aims to elucidate and compare the phytochemical compositions of these plants to gain insights into their potential health benefits and applications. We conducted a comprehensive phytochemical analysis of Basella Alba and Amaranthus Viridis using standardized extraction techniques and analytical methods. The study involved the identification and quantification of key secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds. Antioxidant activity was assessed through radical scavenging assays, and nutritional components were analysed. The comparative analysis highlights the unique phytochemical profiles of Basella Alba and Amaranthus Viridis. Basella Alba stands out for its saponin content, suggesting potential applications in managing cardiovascular and inflammatory conditions.
