Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nutrient composition, antioxidant activity, and chemical constituent of Tupistra albiflora K. Larsen’s flowers. The methods used were AOAC, DPPH, and GC-MS, respectively. The results revealed that T. albiflora K. Larsen’s flowers have nutritional value (protein, carbohydrate, fat, ash, fiber, energy, thiamin, riboflavin, and pyridoxine) and antioxidant properties. There was also a high ratio of protein content (26.00 - 29.60 %) and riboflavin (0.1 - 2.0 mg/100g dry weight). Phytochemical composition analysis presented high content of essential oils (cis,cis-linoleic acid, hexadecanoic acid and hexadeconic acid ethyl ester); it may be a potential source for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
