Preliminary Phytochemical Screening of Successive Reextraction of Moringa oleifera leaves

Abstract

The succeeding reextraction of plant Moringa oleifera leaves of four different solvents using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water for the preliminary phytochemical screening and is the focus of this study. Screening of phytochemicals with the help of a dried powdered sample of M. oleifera leaves extract by successive reextraction of solvent n-Hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water extract to be tested for various primary and secondary metabolites. The result shows the presence of phytoconstituents (anthocyanins, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, phytosteroids, phenols, protein, amino acids, and carbohydrates of selective solubility in their respective solvents of varying polarity are used consecutively. The presence of phytoconstituents of testing results in the successive extract is suggesting that importance of solvent and their solubility factors of M. oleifera leave extract, which is a nutritionally rich dietary supplement of diver's bioactive compounds these information data of active principle of medicinal perspective is help isolates and characterizing of pharmacological importance of phytomedicinal value.
