Description
Summary:► GC–MS analysis of root samples detected 20 identified compounds. ► Significant higher antioxidant phytochemicals and activity observed in root parts. ► Strong antioxidant activity was exhibited in essential oil than methanolic extract. ► HPLC analysis showed phenolic compounds are influenced by growing source conditions. ► Recovery of antioxidant phytochemicals and activity was more in oven dried samples. Considering that the assessment of antioxidant activity and phytochemical in wild and planted medicinal plants would help in identification of possibilities for promoting cultivation, this study focused on comparison of plant material drawn from wild and planted sources of Valeriana jatamansi in Indian west Himalaya. GC–MS analysis of root samples of target species detected 20 identified compounds representing over 72% of essential oils. While comparing with root samples from wild individuals, a significantly higher (P
