Online Published on 12 September, 2023. Abstract The family Brassicaceae possess different range of varieties that finds importance in medicine, agriculture, nutraceuticals, etc. Its health promoting factors including essential amino acids, flavonoids and other phytoconstituents has tremendous impact on health and hence can be used as a viable food ingredient. The present study includes the investigation of variousconstituents in the five samples of various Brassica genotypes. The total antioxidant was recorded highest in sample Kranti (22.092±0.122 mg/g) while minimum was recorded in PDZ11 (15.441±0.284), the highest TPC was recorded in sample LES63 (5.467±0.067 mg/g) while the minimum was recorded in PM29 (4.058±0.039 mg/g), the ortho-dihydric phenol content was recorded highest in sample Kranti (0.544±0.003 mg/g) while the minimum was recorded in PDZ11 (0.322±0.002 mg/g), the total protein content observed among all the genotypes was recorded highest in Kranti (34.32%) whereas lowest was recorded in PDZ11 (31.51%). The highest oil content was observed in Kranti (44.58%) while the lowest was observed in LES63 (37.2%). PM29 (81.23±1.002) had the greatest glucosinolate content while PDZ11 (15.85±0.902) had the lowest glucosinolate content. The DPPH activity was best shown by sample PDZ11 having percentage inhibition of 46.853±0.611 %. The reducing power of sample PDZ11 having IC50 57.443 ±0.070 μg/ml was observed to be better among all the genotypes under investigation. PDZ11 was observed to be a potent anti-inflammatory agent with an IC50 value of 93.087±0.178 μg/ml. The results were recorded with respect to quality check, PDZ-1.
