Identification of bioactive compounds in Solanum incanum fruit by Thin layer Chromatography and HPTLC

Indhumathi. T, Dr. S. Mohandass

Abstract :

Solanumincanum fruit was evaluated for its secondary metabolites using standard analytical methods like and Thin layer Chromatography (TLC) technique and High Performance Thin layer Chromatography (HPTLC). Preliminary phytochemical analysis of fruit extract showed the presence of Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Carbohydrates, Glycosides, Phenols, Steroids, Tannins, Resins and Proteins. In this present study, Thinlayer Chromatographic analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, Flavonoids, Steroids, Glycosides and triterpenoids. After conformation with the presence of Alkaloids and Flavonoids, Solasodine and Quercetin were analyzed and compared with their standards by HPTLC.
