Study of Alcoholic Extract of Acacia Farnesiana (L.) Willd Pods

Abstract

Identification of bioactive compound from alcoholic extract of Acacia farnesiana leguminosae pods by using preliminary phytochemical test or thin layer chromatography and the quantification of total phenolic content by folin-ciocalteu reagent method. shade dried grounded powder of Acacia farnesiana pods was successively extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform and alcohol in soxhlet apparatus, alcoholic compound obtained in more amount as compare to other two extract so alcoholic extract was used for identification of bioactive compound. The alcoholic extract of leguminosae pods indicates the presence of major bioactive compound. Analysis of the alcoholic extract by TLC have identified naringenin from extract, and the total phenolic content in alcoholic extract was found to be 22%(w/w). Therefore the present study deals with qualitative analysis of alcoholic extract of legumae pericarp (pod wall) of Acacia farnesiana L. In which we analyze various phytochemical which are useful for contoling various diseases TLC method used for identification of the content of naringenin from active extract of Acacia farnesiana pods. It is concluded that, legume pods contain maximum phytoconstituents or phenolic content.

Polymers without Petrochemicals: Sustainable Routes to Conventional Monomers

“…Kadam and McMillan investigated the feasibility of bio-EtOH production with corn stover as a renewable feedstock in 2002 and pointed out about 80 million tons of dry corn stover could be available for bioethanol production. 88 Several reports have studied the production of bioethanol with only corn stover or with a mixed corn/corn stover system since then, with variations in several factors including pre-treatment method, corn stover varieties and solid loading. 61,88,90,93 Wheat straw and rice straw are another family of food crops residues and studies have shown the feasibility of producing bio-EtOH with these agricultural wastes.…”

“…For example, smaller-sized corn stover gave 1.5 times higher yield than a larger size corn stover substrate. 88,91,93 The most significant challenge for mechanical pre-treatment, however, is the significant power consumption. 50,92 Power consumption for mechanical commi-nution can be controlled by adjusting the sizes of the initial input and desired final substrate, but will nonetheless impact the sustainability aspect of the overall process.…”
