Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda & Alternative Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Crude extracts of different parts such as leaves, flower, fruit wall, seeds, stem bark and coir of Adansonia digitata L. were used to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents. The amount of total phenolics and flavonoids were isolated with various organic solvents (methanol, chloroform, benzene and petroleum ether) in A. digitata using Folin-Ciocalteau assay and Aluminium chloride colorimetric assay respectively. The results revealed that the total phenolic (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) varied among the different parts and as well as solvents used. Methanolic extract of seeds showed highest amount of TPC (98.8 mg GAE/100g) and least amount of TPC (3.91mg GAE/100 g) was found in benzene extract of coir. Whereas TFC was found to be highest in methanolic extract of seed (98.33mg CE/100 g) and least amount of TFC was recorded in petroleum ether extract of fruit wall (1.25 mg CE/100 g). The results presented here not only show the TPC and TFC but also their ratio and distribution in different parts of the tree that could be used in the treatment of various ailments.
