ABSTRACT

Plants and their secondary metabolites have stimulated the development of innovative medications as well as a return to the use of herbal therapies for a variety of diseases. In the present study, an attempt has been made to identify the active ingredients present in Phyllanthus emblica pulp and Vitis vinifera pulp. The pulp of these plants was extracted by different solvents and subjected to phytochemical screening to assess the best extraction medium. Both the extracts were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively for the presence of phenolics and flavonoids. The antioxidants in the fresh pulp of these plants were analyzed to determine the total antioxidant capacity of these plants. Finally, spectral studies were carried out to find the presence and structure of flavonoids in the Phyllanthus emblica and Vitis vinifera pulp juices. The antioxidant analysis of Phyllanthus emblica and Vitis vinifera pulp show near equal levels of antioxidant activity when compared with standard ascorbic acid. Quercetin, one of the flavonoids present in the extracts was identified by HPLC and the same has been confirmed by spectral studies. To summarize, the selected fruit pulps showed very notable biochemical flavonoids that are both beneficial and economical.
