Identification of phenolic compounds in crude methanolic extract of Piper sarmentosum leaves

Herbal plants are rich sources of secondary metabolites such as phenolics which can be beneficial to improve human health. Previous studies reported that phenolic compounds could lower the risk of heart diseases, occurrence of cancers as well as microbial infections. Piper sarmentosum or locally kn...
