Randomized trial observes antioxidant activity and chemical profile in Nelumbo nucifera extract, suggesting therapeutic applications.

This study aims to evaluate the chemical properties and antioxidant activity of Nelumbo nucifera plumule extract.
Ethanol extraction of Nelumbo nucifera plumule to obtain dry extract (yield: 8.5% w/w)
Analysis of chemical composition using FTIR, HPLC, and GC-MS
Evaluation of antioxidant activity through DPPH scavenging assay.
DPPH scavenging activity showed a concentration-dependent range of 18.42% to 65.87%
FTIR spectroscopy identified hydroxyl, carbonyl, and aromatic groups in the extract
HPLC analysis revealed a characteristic alkaloid fingerprint at 282 nm.

Bahuguna et al. (2026) studied this question.
