Phytoconstituents Analysis of Ornamental Plants Using Gc-Ms And Hptlc

Abstract

In this current research work two ornamental plants collected, extracted and study their phytoconstituents analysis. The phytochemical constituents were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and HPTLC Densitometric chromatogram of Standard (Quercetin) and hydroalcoholic extracts of Adenium obesum and Gazania rigens aerial parts. Additionally, the total polyphenolic content was determined by calculating it as gallic acid, while the total flavonoid content was determined by calculating it as Quercetin using the UV technique. A. obesum exhibits a significant amount of total flavonoids while G. rigens demonstrates a substantial amount of total polyphenols. The hydroalcoholic extracts of Adenium obesum comprised a minimal quantity of quercetin, as shown by our results. Both plants have a variety of phytoconstituents which may possess various pharmacological activity and its α-glucosidase and antioxidant levels may support its use in traditional medicine, particularly for reducing diabetes-related problems.
