Isolation & Structural Characterization Of Β Sitosterol From Methanolic Extract of Cordia Obliqua Fruit
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bioactive components that support or advance health and are found in the nexus of the food and pharmaceutical sectors are known as phytochemicals. These phytochemicals offer excellent therapeutic potential for treating a wide range of diseases. The characterization of phytomedicines is critical for compound identification. Spectroscopy and Chromatography are two essential ways for identifying substances. FTIR, Infrared (IR), NMR and mass spectrometry are extensively used techniques for identifying bioactive compound in herbal medicines. This study deals with Isolation & structural characterization of β -sitosterol from methanolic extract Cordia obliqua fruit. The plant material was collected & subjected to extraction by methanolic & aqueous extract. The % yield obtained was 1.09% for methanolic extract. The methanolic extract was enriched with carbohydrate, flavonoid, glycoside, sterol & protein.
