Comparative Phytochemical Screening and Biological Activity of “Lyophilized Sugarcane Juice, Vacuum Pan and Open Pan Jaggery” for Methanolic Extract

Sugarcane jaggery contains many industrially important phytochemicals. To study the difference and characterize in phytochemicals present in lyophilized sugarcane products methanolic extracts of sugarcane juice (SJ), vacuum pan jaggery (VJ), and open pan jaggery (OJ) and their biological activity like antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity against certain clinical isolates were estimated, Antioxidant activities were evaluated by ABTS (2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) DPPH (1,1 diphenyl 2, picryl hydrazyl) assay and Reducing Power. Various pathogenic strains were used to determine the antimicrobial activity where the samples showed promising inhibition of such organisms. Reference should be made to the fact that our work constitutes the first analysis to test the vacuum evaporated jaggery substance as a possible antioxidant resource to be explored in vitro in cellular systems.
