The herb was consumed as a leafy vegetable in various parts of India as a cheap and nutritive source of food materials in low economic society. Amaranthus Viridis(Amaranthaceae) widely distributed all over the world, growing under a wide range of climatic conditions and has been utilized as a medicinal herb in traditional Ayurveda medicine for the treatment of inflammation, ulcer, diabetes, asthma and hy perlipidemia. Objective: The present research focused on evaluate the antioxidant and biological properties of Amaranthus Viridis. Methods: The phytochemical compositions of the extract of leaves were studied using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), a hyphenated system which is a very compatible technique and the most commonly used technique for the identification and quantification purpose was used. Results: The GC-MS Analysis revealed 40 constituents of which many of the compounds were identified. The active principles with their retention time (RT), molecular weight (MW) and concentration (%) of the corresponding compounds were observed in the leaf extract. GC-MS chromatogram of the leaf extract of A. viridis belonging to the family Amaranthaceae showed 40 peaks which indicate the presence of forty compounds. Conclusion: The current study suggests that the plant have a potent therapeutic activity and paves the way for the development of several treatment regimens based on compounds from this extract.&#13;
