ingredients. Flavonoids and terpenes extracted more in ZFAE 130.78mg and 163.68mg

respectively. Alkaloids were nil in ZFWE. ZFWE is rich in phenols(49.66mg) than all other
extracts. ZFHE contains a very less amount of metabolites among other extracts. All extracts

were rich in flavonoids and terpenes. Terpenes show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
antidepressant, antibiotic, anticancerous properties and flavonoids show antimicrobial, anti-

inflammatory and antioxidant properties and act as free radical scavengers. Figure 1, 2, 3, and
4 are the HPLC chromatogram of total alkaloids, total phenols, total flavonoid, and total

terpenes respectively.
