“Vitamins and Antioxidants Activity of Cassia Siamea Lam Seed’s Oil”

Abstract

A medicinal plant from the family- Fabaceae, subfamily- Caesalpiniaceae called Cassia Siamea Lam has been chosen for study. In this study, we determined the Antioxidant activity, and Vitamins of Cassia Siamea Lam seed oil. The oil from the seeds of Cassia Siamea Lam was extracted with a Soxhlet extractor using petroleum ether as a solvent. Antioxidant activity was defined by a Spectrophotometer using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) solvent. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and Vitamin C were determined by the HPLC technic. The Antioxidant activity of Cassia Siamea Lam seed oil is 7.5mg TE/100g. This oil contains Below Detection Limit of vitamins B1, B2, and B3, as well as 15.70 mg/kg of vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for a number of body functions, including collagen formation, iron absorption, immune system function, wound healing, and the preservation of cartilage, bones, and teeth. The body needs Vitamins to boost the immune system and speed up wound healing. As an Antioxidant, it acts to shield your cells from free radicals, which have been linked to cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses. This study suggests that Cassia Siamea Lam seed oil is rich in Antioxidants and Vitamin C.
