Phytochemical Screening and Fluorescence Analysis of Methanolic Flower Extracts of Punicagranatum L.
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
To determine various phytoconstituents present in flowers of Punic granatum. Qualitative phytochemical analysis and fluorescence analysis was done by standard methods. The Phytochemical tests were carried out on the extracts using standard procedures to identify the constituents. The preliminary Phytochemical tests of methanolic flowers extract of P. granatum(L.) were screened for the presence of active principles such as carbohydrates, glycosides, fatty acids, protein and amino acids, saponins, tannins, phenolic compounds, β-sitosterols, triterpenoids, anthocyanins and flavonoids using standard procedures. The result of fluorescence analysis showed that in visible light, the plant powder exhibit various shades of green and brown fluorescence and various shades of green, blue and brown were found in under UV light. The results of the present study suggest that flowers have various phytoconstituents that can act as a source of natural antioxidants and can be used for the development of plant based drugs. Keywords:Punic granatum, Secondary metabolites, phytochemical analysis, fluorescence analysis.
