Abstract

Fluorescence analysis is an important pharmacognostic procedure used in the authentication of the samples and identification of adulteration The present study deals with the fluorescence analysis of leaf powder of cruciferous vegetables, specifically focusing on cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). Cabbage has gained considerable attention due to its rich content of essential nutrients, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds. The colours and characteristic fluorescent properties of Brassica oleracea var. capitata leaf powder recorded in this study could be utilized as a reference standard for sample authentication and the detection of adulteration.

Keywords: Fluorescence analysis, Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), bioactive compounds.
