Abstract
Amaranthus hybridus exhibits potent antioxidant properties due to its rich content of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which are effective scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Studies have confirmed its antioxidant activity using various in vitro methods, including DPPH and ABTS assays, and have identified specific compounds like rutin and phenolic acids such as caffeic acid and ferulic acid as key contributors. The extraction method significantly influences the concentration and types of these compounds, with methanolic leaf extracts showing high antioxidant activity.
