Bioactive Compound Characterization and Phytopharmacological Potentials of Tulbaghia violacea Fruits and Seeds

Abstract Tulbaghia violacea is an established medicinal plant that is indigenous to southern Africa. All its plant parts have been profiled for their phytochemical constituents and medicinal potentials except for the seeds and fruits. Thus, this study assessed the seeds (air‐dried) and fruits (freeze‐dried), extracted with six solvents, for their bioactive compounds, antioxidant capacities, and antibacterial activities. All the 10 tested phytochemicals were detected across the six solvents, with more phytochemicals detected in the fruits. The fruit aqueous extract gave
