Determination of Total Flavonoids from Leaves of Garcinia xanthochymus
Abstract:Objective:To establish a method for determination of total flavonoids from the leaves of Garcinia xanthochymus.Methods:NaNO2-Al(NO3)3-NaOH and AlCl3-CH3COONa/CH3COOH colorimetry methods were compared to determine the total flavonoids from the leaves of G.xanthochymus.Results:Both the test sample and Fukugetin showed strong and stable absorptions at 415 nm by AlCl3-CH3COONa/CH3COOH colorimetry.Conclusion:It is reasonable to determine the total flavonoids by using AlCl3-CH3COONa/CH3COOH colorimetry,the optimum condition of this method was selected.
