Abstract

Aiming to estimate the secondary metabolites present in Piper species, this study conducted a preliminary phytochemical profiling of eight (8) Piper species collected from the Yotoco Forest Reserve. Dried leaves of the collected species underwent ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The obtained polar extracts were phytochemically characterized. Results showed that phenolic content ranged from 10.318 to 18.055 mg GAE/g DW. For DPPH radical antioxidant capacity, values ranged from 43.431 to 142.411 μM TE/g DW
