Mahonia jaunsarensis (Family Berberidaceae) is an endemic species of the Himalaya narrowly distributed in Chakrata hills of Uttarakhand. Considering that the species is traditionally used by local inhabitants for various purposes, this study was made to explore its biochemical attributes using diverse solvent systems, i.e., ethanol, methanol and distilled water. Results revealed a varied range of total phenolics (1.00–1.39 mg GAE/g); tannins (1.01–1.11 mg TAE/g); flavonoids (1.07–1.22 mg QE/g); and flavonols (0.71–1.04 mg QE/g) across solvent extractions. Likewise, in vitro antioxidant activity (i.e., ABTS 0.82–1.09; DPPH 0.94–1.16; and FRAP 0.81–1.05 mM AAE/100 g fresh weight) varied. Results are indicative that the species possess higher bioactive attributes and a good source of natural antioxidant. A solvent system with moderate polarity, such as methanol, was found best for harnessing the maximum potential. The study provides baseline information on biochemical attributes of the species, which can, with due R&D interventions, be extended for the industrial applications.

十大功劳jaunsarensis（家庭小ber科（Berberidaceae）是喜马拉雅山的特有物种，狭义分布在Uttarakhand的Chakrata山中。考虑到该物种传统上是由当地居民用于各种目的的，因此本研究使用多种溶剂系统（例如乙醇，甲醇和蒸馏水）来探索其生化特性。结果表明，总酚类化合物的含量变化很大（1.00-1.39 mg GAE / g）；单宁（1.01-1.11 mg TAE / g）；黄酮类（1.07-1.22 mg QE / g）；溶剂萃取中的黄酮醇和黄酮醇（0.71-1.04 mg QE / g）。同样，体外抗氧化剂活性（即ABTS 0.82–1.09； DPPH 0.94–1.16； FRAP 0.81–1.05 mM AAE / 100 g新鲜重量）也有所不同。结果表明该物种具有更高的生物活性属性和天然抗氧化剂的良好来源。具有中等极性的溶剂系统，例如甲醇，被发现最能发挥最大潜力。该研究提供了有关物种生化特性的基线信息，可以通过适当的研发干预措施将其扩展到工业应用中。
