Antioxidant activity of essential oil of Coriandrum sativum and standardization of HPTLC method for the estimation of major phytomarkers

Abstract

The essential oils of seed and whole plant of Coriandrum sativum were examined for their in vitro antioxidant activities which were found to be higher compared to different extracts of this plant. A simple, precise and specific HPTLC method has been developed for the determination of important phytomarkers of essential oils. The proposed method was validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, limits of detection and quantification.
