Abstract

Worldwide, palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer) is utilized in cuisine and is renowned for its many nutraceutical qualities, which include anticancer and antioxidant capabilities. There is a connection between cellular free radicals and diseases like atherosclerosis, cancer, and visual impairment. Antioxidants can support cell renewal and potentially lower these hazards. Using the DPPH method, the antioxidant capacity of methanolic extracts from different sections of the Palmyra palm was evaluated. Several nutraceutical substances, including 5-hydroxy methyl furfural, beta-D-glucopyranose 1,6-anhydride, linoleic acid ethyl ester, 9-octadeceneic acid ethyl ester, butylated hydroxytoluene, and stigmasterol, were identified by GC/MS analysis of the crunchy kernel's methanol and hexane extracts. The results show that the crunchy kernel is a valuable addition to food products and has strong antioxidant potential.
