Estimation of total phenolic content and total flavonol content in leaves and stem extracts of Ventilago maderaspatana Gaertn. and leaves, stem and stem bark extracts of Ziziphus xylopyrus (RETZ) Willd

Abstract

Aqueous and ethanolic extract were prepared from the leaf, stem of Ventilago maderaspatana and leaf, stem, stem bark of Ziziphus xylopyrus. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was carried out for all extracts. Both plants were found to contain different phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, glycosides, steriods and sterols, saponins, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and tri- terpenoids and showed the absence of amino acids, proteins and acidic compounds.Total phenol and flavonoid content were evaluated for all the extracts of both plants. Both plants showed good amount of phenol and flavonoids.
