Abstract

Bioactive compounds isolated from herbal extracts, dietary nutrients, fruits, and diets may confer physiological advantages that can enhance health and mitigate the risk of chronic disorders. Recent studies have prioritized the exploration of the potential of medicinal plants in modifying chemical pharmaceutical adverse effects through their therapeutic or preventative properties. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to investigate the phytochemical constituents of fruits and leaves extracts of strawberries, and long mulberry. The dried fruits and leaves of berries underwent a triple extraction process using 70% ethanol. The filtration process was conducted on each mixture utilizing filter paper, followed by evaporation in a rotary evaporator. Various qualitative tests were employed to determine the phytochemical constituents present in berries, such as steroids, alkaloids, amino acids, proteins, reducing sugar, glycosides, tannins, flavonoid, and saponins. Furthermore, the quantification of total phenols, total flavonoids, total antioxidants, and phenolic acids was conducted. The extracts derived from the leaves of strawberry, and long mulberry exhibit a higher concentration of total phenols, total flavonoids, and total antioxidants in comparison to their respective fruits.
