Fluorescence Analysis of Leaf Extract of Anogeissus latifolia

Abstract

In the present investigation, the fluorescence analysis was carried out to characterize the dry leaf powder of Anogeissus latifolia to detect the functional groups of different bioactive compounds present in the sample. It has been studied after treatment with solvents such as 1 N HCl, H₂SO₄, Acetic acid, Acetone, Aqueous NaOH, Ferric chloride, Methanol, Ethanol, Ether, chloroform and Benzene. These solutions were observed under ordinary light, and UV of short wavelength (254 nm). The result showed the presence of various active phytochemicals after the treatment with different solvents tested.
