Calligonum polygonoides L. as Novel Source of Bioactive Compounds in Hot Arid Regions: Evaluation of Phytochemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity

Mukesh K. Berwal et al.

Summary: Calligonum polygonoides, a perennial herb in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India, exhibits high resistance to abiotic stresses and is a dominant biomass and phytochemicals producer. The study found that the plant's phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were highest during severe winter and summer months, with the highest and lowest environmental temperatures of the year, respectively. This suggests that C. polygonoides can be a valuable source for developing antioxidant-rich functional foods in hot arid regions.
