| Abstract | Musa acuminate peel (Plantain peel) extract was evaluated for their antioxidant potential using the DPPH scavenging method, Total phenolic content determination and total flavonoid determination. Effect of extract on haematological parameters like total leukocyte count and total lymphocyte count of Wistar albino rats was also investigated. The result showed that methanolic extract is a more potent antioxidant than the hexane extract. Both extracts showed DPPH scavenging effect in dose dependent manner. Total flavonoid and total phenolic are higher in methanolic extract as compared to hexane extract of banana. Both the extracts significantly increased the total leukocyte and the percentage of lymphocyte in dose dependent manner. |
