The present study analysed the phytochemical constituents foundin beetroot stem using various extracts (Aqueous, Acetone, Ethanol, Petroleum ether). The antioxidant activity of beetroot stem extracts showed better results by using DPPH, Flavonoids, Total phenol and FRAP assay. The antibacterial activity of beetroot stem was done and it showed measureable effect against Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.
