الملخص

This study aimed to characterize the phytochemical profile of Psidium guava L. extract for potential biomedical applications. The analysis revealed the phytochemical content through GC-MS identification of 25 bioactive compounds with β-Caryophyllene (18.42%) as the predominant constituent. Quantitative phytochemical screening demonstrated substantial total phenolic content (65.29 ± 1.62 mg GAE/g) and exceptionally high flavonoid content (123.69 ± 11.77 mg QE/g). UV–Visible and FTIR spectroscopic analyses confirmed the presence of chromophoric compounds and functional groups responsible for biological activity in the guava extract
