SN powder (SPN) has 13.048 ± 0.053% moisture, 14.809 ± 0.215% ash, 1.429 ± 0.029% crude-fat, 17.75 ± 0.675% crude fiber evaluated by proximate analysis primitively. Subsequently, the content of Na, K, Ca was estimated by Flame Photometric method whereas the iron content was measured by colorimetric method. Delving deeper, the phenolic, flavonoid, and total antioxidant content of SPN quantified as 20.388 ± 0.278 mg GAE/100g, 215.201 ± 3.172 mg QE/100g, and 358.374 ± 7.382 mg AAE/100g respectively, analysed by photometric method.
