In the present study, the leaves of Manihot esculenta Crantz were extracted by various organic solvents viz. hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and subjected to GC-MS analysis to determine their chemical composition and antioxidant activity by DPPH assay. The GC-MS analysis of hexane extract displaye...
