Qualitative And Quantitative Analysis of Cinnamomum Tamala Leaf Extract

Objective: The purpose of the study is to assess the properties and bioactive
components of Cinnamomum tamala leaves. Methods: The leaves of
Cinnamomum tamala were extracted. Different experimental methods have
been used to study the phytochemicals (qualitative and quantitative). The
phytochemical screening was evaluated in different extractions such as
aqueous, hexane, ethanol, petroleum ether and hydroethanolic to compare the
solubility of various bioactive components. Further, high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS)
were also performed to study the presence of flavonoids and secondary
metabolites respectively. Results: The Qualitative analysis showed the
presence of phytochemical compounds in higher concentration in
hydroethanolic extract of the leaves of Cinnamomum tamala. In comparison
with other extracts, hydroethanolic extract had larger yields of flavonoids
(186.42 ± 13.04 mg/g QE), phenols (226.34 ± 15.84 mg/g GAE), saponins
(112.10 ± 7.84 mg/g) and steroids (161.30 ± 11.29 mg/g CL). HPLC analysis
revealed the presence of flavonoids in hydroethanolic extracts of the leaves of
Cinnamomum tamala. GC-MS analysis proved the presence of various
bioactive compounds in the hydroethanolic extract of the leaves of
Cinnamomum tamala. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated the
significance of the leaves of Cinnamomum tamala. We concluded that
Cinnamomum tamala leaves have various biological activities which can treat
diseases..
