Abstract
This study quantitatively analyzed total free amino acids in three Euphorbiaceae species — Euphorbia hirta, Euphorbia caducifolia, and Ricinus communis — from Bhilwara, Rajasthan. Using ninhydrin-based colorimetric methods, the research found that Ricinus communis had the highest amino acid content, followed by E. caducifolia and E. hirta. The observed differences likely reflect species-specific metabolism or environmental adaptation. The study highlights the biochemical potential of these plants for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.
