This study aims to analyse the phytochemical composition and assess the antioxidant activity of various genotypes of Dioscorea bulbifera (air potato). Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, significant variations in phytochemical constituents among the genotypes were identified, and their corresponding antioxidant activities were evaluated using standard assays. The findings reveal genotype-specific differences in phytochemical profiles and antioxidant capacities, highlighting the potential of selective Dioscorea bulbifera genotypes in developing nutraceuticals and functional foods.
