Phytochemical analysis of siam weed in water and ethanol solvent extraction Department: Biochemistry By: Ziggerzillion Project ID: 7545 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1Rate this project12345 Price:₦3000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractPhytochemical properties of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Chromolaena odorata were assayed using standard techniques. Plant materials (leaves) were collected from Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Nigeria compound. The leaves were appropriately prepared and the extraction of crude ingredients was done using ethanol and hot water respectively under standard laboratory conditions. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of bioactive flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins and tannins. The presence of bioactive substances may be responsible for the antifungal activities of the extract. This study therefore underscores the fact that C. odorata can be a viable and cheap source for antifungal formulations. The results from this study will help immensely in the fight against microorganisms ...Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
