This study delves into the medicinal properties of Bunium bulbocastanum tubers, a traditional remedy in Algerian phytotherapy, focusing on their bioactive components, notably polyphenols, flavonoids, and condensed tannins. Utilizing methods such as the Folin-Ciocalteu assay for total phenolic content, aluminium chloride colorimetric assay for flavonoids, and DPPH radical scavenging assay for antioxidant activity, alongside agar disc diffusion for antimicrobial efficacy, this research highlights the tubersâ?? significant health benefits. Comprehensive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis was employed to identify and quantify key volatile compounds, revealing a rich presence of bioactive constituents. The studyâ??s findings indicate that Bunium bulbocastanum tubers exhibit remarkable antioxidant and antibacterial activities, attributing to their potential in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. This research underscores the importance of traditional remedies and their place in contemporary medicinal practices, proposing Bunium bulbocastanum tubers as a significant source of natural bioactive compounds with therapeutic benefits.
