Jaggery fortified with Decalepis hamiltonii (Swallow root) at 0.05 %, 0.1 % and 0.2 % (w/v) concentrations using Co 86032, Co419 and Co 62175 varieties sugarcane juice studied for physicochemical characteristics and in-vitro biological activities viz., antioxidant, antilipoxygenase and antihelmintic activities. Physico-chemical analysis of fortified jaggery showed dose proportional reduction incolour, filterability and increased turbidity, insoluble solids, total phenol, protein and flavonoid contents irrespective of sugarcane varieties. DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power potential of D. hamiltonii fortified jaggery indicated higher antioxidant potential. At 0.2% D. hamiltonii concentration, jaggery of Co 86032, Co 419 and Co 62175 varieties indicated an EC50 of 3.139, 3.048 and 3.166 mg/mL, respectively for radical scavenging activity and exhibited 5.23, 34.47 and 11.43% increased reducing power ability compared to control. D. hamiltonii fortified jiggery showed enhanced lipoxygenase inhibitory effect in all cane varieties. At 0.05% D. hamiltonii fortification, jaggery of Co 86032, Co 419 and Co 62175 varieties showed lipoxygenase activity inhibition with an EC50 of 0.33, 0.31 and 0.32 mg/mL, respectively. Further, positive correlation was observed between total phenolics and DPPH radical scavenging activity (r = 0.909, 0.894 and 0.992) and between total phenolics and lipoxygenase inhibitory activity (r = 0.967, 0.894 and 0.964) for Co 86032, Co 419 and Co 62175 jaggery, respectively. Antihelmintic activity was evident in both control and fortified jaggery samples. D. hamiltonii fortified jaggery might serve as value added natural sweetener for better health wellness.
