Quantitative Phytochemical Analysis of different Solvent extracts of Turbinaria ornata-A Marine Macroalgae
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The clean seaweed was shade dried for one week under room temperature and was milled to obtain the powdered form. Powdered algal samples were subjected to methanol and aqueous solvents and the filtrate was collected. The screening of the methanol extracts showed the presence of active constituents like Alkaloids, amino acid, steroids, flavanoids, Tannins, phenols. The other groups of compounds were not present in methanol extracts. Phenol, Glycoside, Protein, Terpenoids and flavoinoids are present in the aqueous extract.. Among the two extracts,aqueous extract contained the highest amount of phenol and flavanoid compounds of about 1.187 and 1.020. The difference of results obtained might possibly be due to the different method of extraction and solvents polarities. Medicinal plants are the best sources for chemical ingredients, antimicrobial and antioxidant agents for cure of different diseases. The aqueous and methanol crude extracts from T. ornata showed good amounts of total phenol and flavonoids contents and these crude extracts could be used as antibiotics or different aliments.
