Abstract
Olive tree is native to Mediterranean climate but the climate of Rajasthan in North-western India resembles it.
Olive leaves are known for their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
properties. This study evaluated the quantitative profile of secondary
metabolites in leaves of olive cultivars (‘Arbequina’, ‘Barnea’, ‘Coratina’ and
‘Koroneiki’) grown at two sites, viz., Lunkaransar and Napasar, located
in Rajasthan state of India. The total flavonoid content was
estimated using the Aluminium chloride colorimetric assay method. The
Folin-ciocalteu assay method was used to determine the total phenol content.
Phytosterol was solvent extracted and gravimetric quantified. Maximum total
phenolic content was present in leaves of ‘Coratina’ cultivar of Napasar.
Maximum total flavonoid content was found in ‘Arbequina’ cultivar of Napasar.
Maximum phytosterol content was found in ‘Arbequina’ of Lunkaransar. Thus, it
was possible to conclude that the cultivar and the site significantly affect
the secondary metabolites
