Determination of Total Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activity of Edible Aroid, Colocasia Esculenta (L.) Schott
Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott is an edible aroid from the family of Araceae. It is a tuber crop which is known for its variety of cooking preparation. In this study, the petioles of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott was used as the samples with three types of different solvents based on their polari...
