Cananga (Cananga odorata) is a tree or shrub that can be used to produce essential oils. In this study a qualitative test was conducted to study the content of secondary metabolites in cananga flowers. Based on research results cananga flowers contain flavonoids, tannins, saponins and steroids, while anthraquinone and terpenoids are not needed. The existence of secondary metabolite content in this plant is intended to be used as a raw material needed because it has an active metabolite content that links this plant to have antioxidant and other antibacterial properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
