Abstract

Potato peel (PP) is high in bioactive compounds and has an immense important in the nutraceutical sector, a wide spectrum of bioactive secondary metabolites produced by potato peel can be used to build novel medications and functional foods. It has been demonstrated that complex bioactive chemicals must be analyzed using analytical methods such as HR-LCMS. The current project's goal was to study the bioactive metabolites found in methanolic extract of potato peel (MEPP) using total pheolic (TPC), flavanoids (TFC), in vitro anti oxidant activity, HR-LCMS and FTIR. Using Q-TOF LC/MS and Agilent MassHunter Profiler software to investigate the bioactive components of PP, researchers discovered 28 bioactive chemicals such as 4,7-Dihydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one.4-Coumaroyl-2-hydroxyputrescine,6,8dihydroxypurine,6'-methoxypolygoacetophenoside, Alloxanthin, Butyl 3-O-caffeoylquinate, Chlorogenic acid, Cularicine, Feruloylputrescine, Feruloylputrescine, Feruloylputrescine, Feruloylputrescine, Feruloylput,  Quinic acid, Gerberinol, Grossamide, Quercetagetin that have anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activity. The current findings of this study reveal the presence of significant phytocompounds in PP and are valuable for future research into developing functional foods from PP to avoid a variety of diseases. Current study is aimed at discovering all-natural treatments for a wide range of ailments and conditions.
