Abstract
Euginia jambolana and Beta vulgaris are the most common herbal dyes and its having strong antioxidant properties and Sun protection factor properties. These types of herbs contain various organic and inorganic molecules (pigments) and their mixture, it had nature of absorption light in the visible region of 400-800nm. The aim of present research work is to focus on analysis of the antioxidant activity and in-vitro Sun protection factor value of Euginia jambolana and Beta vulgaris. In the phytochemical analysis of Euginia jambolana and Beta vulgaris it was found that they contain glycosides, alkaloids, tannin, saponin and flavonoids as well as herbal dyes. The antioxidant properties of ethanolic extract of both herbs were analysed by 1,1-Diphenyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl percentage free radical inhibition activity. The antioxidant activity was found to be 91.59% ± 0.25% for Euginia jambolana and 23.94 ±32.29 % was found for Beta vulgaris. The Sun protection factor value was found to be 2.278 ± 0.127 Eugenia jambolana, and 2.195 ± 0.219 was found for Beta vulgaris. The future prospects of the study lie in developing novel suitable formulations of these herbal dyes.
