### Quantitative Analysis of Total Phenol Content  
Polyphenol compounds are abundantly present constituents in plants. These compounds contain one or more hydroxyl groups, which enable them to effectively neutralize free radicals. Consequently, the total polyphenol content in many plant species is directly associated with their antioxidant capacity. Numerous scientific studies provide evidence that phenolic compounds have a high capacity to donate hydrogen and act as excellent antioxidant molecules [55]. In our study, the total phenolic content was quantitatively assessed using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, and the results were expressed as ug gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per milligram of dry extract. Table 3 presents the data regarding the total phenolic content of various _C. axillaris_ extracts, indicated as micrograms of gallic acid equivalent per milligram of dry extract. Significant variations were observed in the total phenolic content among the four different extracts, with values ranging from 68.28 \(\pm\) 2.49 \(\upmu\)g GAE/mg of dry extract weight for the aqueous extract to 154.91 \(\pm\) 0.16 \(\upmu\)g GAE/mg of dry extract weight for the acetone extract. The analysis of the data presented in Table 3 reveals that the choice of solvent for extraction significantly impacts the extraction of phenolic content from dried fruits of _C. axillaris_. The statistical analysis further confirms a significant difference (\(p<0.05\)) in the total phenolic content among the different solvents used for extraction. The results clearly demonstrate that the acetone extract exhibited the highest total phenolic content, while the aqueous extract displayed the lowest total phenolic content. In previous research, the total phenolic content of ethanolic extracts from the fruit peel and flesh of _C. axillaris_ \begin{table}
