Quantitative determination of total Phenolic and Tannin contents of Murraya koenigii Twigs
Authors
Abstract
The total phenolic and tannin content present in the ethanolic extracts of Murrayakoenigii twigs was estimated in this study. The ethanolic extracts of Murrayakoenigii twigs phenolic and tannin contents were measured using Folin-Ciocalteu’s method. Folin-Ciocalteu’s method. Works on the basis of oxidation and reduction reaction with single electron transfer with gallic acid and tannic acid taken as standards. The study revealed the presence of a significant amount of phenolic and tannin content in the ethanolic extracts of Murrayakoenigii twigs.
