Phytochemical screening of solvent extracts from Callilepis laureola plant was studied. Methanol and water extracts, respectively, revealed that phytochemical constituents found in both extracts were phenolics and gums. Reducing sugars were only observed in water extract while phytosterols and flavanoids were only found in methanol extract. Other phytochemical constituents such as saponins, gly...

Background: Enough information about the actual amount of individual phytochemicals in vegetables and the amount absorbed and utilized is not known. Objective: This study evaluated flavonoid, saponin and phenol content of aqueous extracts of tomato, fluted pumpkin and eggplant as well as the bioavailability of these phytochemicals in rat. Methods: The phytochemical content of the vegetable extr...

The present study was designed to investigate the phytochemical screening, the free radical scavenging activity and to determine the total phenolic content of methanolic extract and different solvent soluble fractions of Averrhoa bilimbi Linn. (Oxalidiaceae) fruits. The free radical scavenging activity was evaluated by analyzing the bleaching rate of 1,1diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and tot...

objectives this study explored the qualitative and quantitative antibacterial potential of c. intybus. further qualitative analysis of phytochemical content was performed. methods cichorium intybus seed extracts were prepared in aqueous, chloroform, ethanol, and hexane separately. results all the extracts of c. intybus seeds were screened for antibacterial activity and phytochemical content. ci...

Background: Earlier researchers have reported antibacterial activity of different specific parts, but none of the reports show the comparative microbial and phytochemical studies of root, stem and leaf extract. Objective: to compare and investigate antimicrobial, qualitative phytochemical studies, phenol, flavonoid and TLC analysis of root, stem bark, leaf extracts of Jatropha curcas linn famil...

Introduction: To establish the pharmacognostical and phytochemical standardization parameters of Pyrus pashia fruits in order to ensure quality and safety of this traditionally acclaimed medicinal tree. Methods: The fresh fruits of P. pashia were collected and dried. Fruit was subjected to various pharmacognostical investigations, Extraction procedures, and preliminary phytochemical screening, ...

Methanol 70% extract of Bauhinia racemosa aerial parts was tested for antimicrobial activity against different bacterial and fungal strains and for antioxidant activity and also total content of polyphenols with phytochemical analysis of the extract was determined. The results have showed that the extract has a significant antimicrobial activity, it inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis and...

PURPOSE The present study is aimed to evaluate phenolic profiles, cytotoxic activity and phytochemical screening of different extracts of Drynaria quercifolia leaves. METHODS The dried and powder leaves were extracted with methanol at room temperature and the concentrated methanolic extract was fractionated by the modified Kupchan partitioning method to provide pet-ether, carbon tetrachloride...

BACKGROUND Marine algae, also called seaweeds, are abundantly present in the coastal area of Iran, especially in Persian Gulf. These plants contain important phytochemical constituents and have potential biological activities. The present study investigated the presence of phytochemical constituents and total phenolic quantification of the seaweeds Gracilaria salicornia and Gracilaria corticata...

The present study was carried out to evaluate phytochemicals of pods of Leucaena leucocephala. The phytochemical analysis was performed using 50% ethanolic extracts of pods powder of Leucaena leucocephala. Quantitative analysis of phytochemicals like phenols, flavonoids and tannins was done. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, carbo...
