Comparative Study of Aqueous Extract of Tulsi and Mulhethi Using HPLC
Keywords:
Tulsi, Mulethi, HPLC, quercetin, flavonoidsAbstract
In this study, we aimed to extract and analyze the bioactive compounds present in leaves of Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) and Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra) these plants, focusing on the identification and quantification of quercetin, a flavonoid with diverse pharmacological activities using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Quercetin, a flavonoid present in both plant extracts, utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), was located and measured. Moreover, a calibration curve was created using standard quercetin solutions. This study highlighted the differences in chemical constituents between the two plants.
