Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract:A colorimetric method was used for the determination of vitamin K1 phylloquinonein different plant extracts (Alchorneacordifolia, Aspilia Africana, Chromolaenaodorata, Vernoniaamygdalina).Benzene was used to extract the plants after drying and milling.The method of vitamin k determnation utilizes thecoupling of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, in which a hydrazone of vitamin K, forms acid-salts in basic media giving blue coloured solutions that absorbs maximally at 635 nm. The results showed that Aspilia Africana 2.43 ± 1.56, Vernoniaamygdalina 2.12 ± 1.11, Chromolaenaodorata 6.36 ± 2.09, Alchorneacordifolia 8.31 ± 1.23 ug/g dry extract Keywords:Aspiliaafricana, Vernoniaamygdalina, Chromoleanaodorata, And Alchorneacordiforlia Extract, Vitamin K1.
