Phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of leaf extract and callus cultures of Cinnamomum camphora L.

ABSTRACT: Cinnamomum camphora L. is highly significant landscape tree known for its medicinal values and presence of secondary metabolites that have antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory effects and widely utilized in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. Callus cultures of C. camphora have better antioxidant activity than extracts of naturally grown tree leaves. While there is significant lack of research about the potential of its in vitro callus cultures as a controlled and sustainable biotechnological alternative for mass production of bioactive compounds. The present work was aimed at comparative analysis of phytochemicals (phenolic and flavonoid) and antioxidant activities of calli and leaf extract of field grown camphor plant. To get in vitro germplasm, callus formation an
