Abstract

Datura sp. is a genus of 14 species, poisonous plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. Distributed throughout the world and it is widely cultivated in Asia, America, Europe, South Africa and other tropical and subtropical regions and primarily used as an intoxicant and hallucinogen. Datura stramonium and Datura innoxia two medicinal plant known as Jimson weed and Thorn apple cultivated all over the world for many properties. This study revealed that total phenolic content (196.52 and 183.08 mg GAE g-1), total flavonoid content (16.72 and 17.12 mg QE 100 g-1), total antioxidant activity (91.74 and 88.97µmol TE g-1) and nutritional element content (Mg, K, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, As, Cd, Co, Cr and Pb) of two different medicinal plant species Datura stramonium and Datura innoxia.
