Chemical Fingerprinting of <i>Spiranthes spiralis</i> L. Methanol Seed Extract: Spectroscopic, Chromatographic, and Computational Approaches.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the morphological properties, antioxidant activities, and phytochemical content of Spiranthes spiralis L. seed methanol extracts were characterized and analyzed in silico. Microscopic analysis revealed a fusiform seed shape characterized by prominent basal cells with thick, slanted ridges and polygonal testa structures. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) identified distinct absorption bands corresponding to O-H, -CH₂-, C=O, and other functional groups, indicating the presence of phenolic compounds, proteins, and polysaccharides. The total phenolic content was measured at 24.65 ± 1.43 mg GAE/g dry weight, while flavonoid and tannin contents were determined to be 43.98 ± 3.10 mg QE/g dry weight and 2.13 ± 0.13 mg GAE/g dry weight, respectively.
