Abstract:
Plants include a family of secondary metabolites called flavonoids, which are often included in human diets. Many of these bases have been shown to have positive medicinal potential. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if flavonoids were present in various test extracts from test plant samples. Thirty separate samples of Acacia catechu bark were gathered for this study from various seasonal circumstances in the research location. Six extracts were then prepared from each sample. The presence or absence of flavonoids in these extracts was then examined using various techniques. The test sample extracts in ethanol, methanol, aqueous, acetone, and chloroform were found to contain flavonoids, however the benzene extracts were found to be free of the same. Based on the dark-colored reaction mixture, it was claimed that the flavonoids content of both alcoholic extracts was relatively higher. This exploratory study could provide the foundation for future investigations into the therapeutic uses of native plants.
