Spectrophotometric Determination of Total Phenol and Flavonoid Contents of Aerial Parts of Blepharis edulis (Pers.)
Journal Title: Chemical Science International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Quantitative determination of phenols and flavonoids of Blepharis edulis aerial parts was carried out using spectrophotometery techniques. Gallic acid and quercetin were used as the standards for calibration for the phenols and flavonoids respectively. B. edulis commonly known as Elsihaa, it has wide range of folkloric medicinal uses. In the current study the presences of useful secondary metabolites were observed, also high amount of phenolic and flavonoid contents with 34.85±2.1 mg/g and 59.56±0.29 mg/g respectively. These findings support its medicinal uses.
