Ftir Phytochemical Fingerprinting and Antioxidant Anlyses of Selected Indoor Non-Flowering Indoor Plants and Their Industrial Importance

Abstract

Objective: phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity analyses of selected indoor plants and to evaluate commercial applications.Methods: Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analyses of alcoholic and aquatic crude extracts of leaves of selected non-flowering indoor plants were assessed using standard protocols and later compared with FTIR analyses. Antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the extracts were studiedResults: Phytochemical analysis of polar solvent extractions of the four selected plants Pedilanthus tithymaloides, Cordyline terminalis, Tradescantia zebrine and Rhoeo discolou. Indicated the presence of tannins in all four varieties terpenoids in 3, flavonols, phytosterols and phenols in two plants, followed by alkaloids. The phytochemical analyses were supported by FTIR reports. Quantitative studies indicated variations in flavonol, tannin and phenols concentrations among the four species. High concentrations of Total flavonols (P. tithymaloides) and Tannins (C. terminalis) were observed. C. terminalis extract showed comparatively highest reducing power followed by R. discolour and P. tithymaloides extracts. Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing indicated P. tithymaloides showed a maximum zone of inhibition compared to R. discolor. C. terminalis plant leaf extract showed a faint zone of inhibition against E. fecalis while others couldnot. Intense colors of C. terminalis and T. zebrine plants could be used as a natural dye as well as pH indicator. Conclusion: The rich concentrations of the tannins from non-flowering indoor plants could be the future option of dyes and dyeing industry as natural colorants as well as pH indicators. These plants were rich sources of phytochemicals (phenols, flavonols, tannins, and phytosterols), with antioxidant and antibacterial activity.

Phytochemical analysis and cytotoxic activities of two distinct cultivars of Ganyong rhizomes (Canna indica) against the WiDr colon cancer cell line

“…Those chemical bonds were found in all extracts. The absence of a peak in the region of 2260 cm -1 indicates edible canna rhizome both in red and green varieties do not contain cyanide groups, so this group is declared safe for foodstuffs (Singh and Mendhulkar 2015;Chunduri and Shah 2016). The difference in spectral patterns and groups of compounds possessed by red and green varieties was only slight in the functional groups of allenes, aromatic compounds, and aldehydes.…”

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using five varieties of Cordyline fruticosa sp. leaves and reviewing their antimicrobial, antioxidant and photocatalytic properties

“…Each water extract was tested for the presence of the following phytochemicals using methodologies adapted from Chunduri and Shah (2016) and Shaikh and Patil (2020). Table 1 summarizes the methodologies used and expected outcomes.…”

Chemical and Biological Study of Eugenia Stipitata Mc Vaugh Collected in the Colombian Andean Region

“…Physicochemical characterization of extract and fractions REE, DF, and HR were standardized by some physicochemical determinations (color, pH, density, and Brix) and a preliminary phytochemical analysis, attending Harborne's indications [23]. Besides, in every plant product was measured total phenols and non-tannic phenols content by applying Folin-Ciocalteu method with some modifications reported by Fidrianny et al [24], the tannins content was established as the difference between them [25]. The results were expressed in grams of gallic acid equivalent per every hundred grams of sample (g GAE/100 g).…”
