This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical and nutritional profiles of three cauliflower cultivars—Valentena, Carotena, Snow White—focusing on chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins, vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolics, antioxidant activity. Uniform curds were harvested at 60 days post-sowing from Baratia, Dumuria, Khulna, analyzed Khulna Agricultural University. Valentena exhibited highest chlorophyll content (40.06±0.39 µg/100g FW a, 28.98±3.35 b), superior lycopene (8.71±0.38 FW) levels. Carotena showed total carotenoid (60.52±1.76 β-carotene (26.99±0.44 FW), while White had lowest values across most parameters. also led in anthocyanins (101.56±3.9 mg/L flavonoids (79.56±10.36 mg/100g with having C (60.05±2.93 µg/g FW). DPPH assays indicated that effective (IC50 = 43.65±3.56 mg/mL followed by White. Hierarchical clustering pricipal component analysis (PCA) revealed distinct profiles: shared similarities carotenoids activity, whereas differed significantly. Linear discriminant identified lycopene, b, as major differentiators, highlighting diverse properties these varieties. The findings highlight potential for health-conscious consumers seeking nutrient-rich, benefits functional meals.
