ABSTRACT:
The current study's objective was to use both qualitative and quantitative screening techniques to determine whether phytochemicals were present in the methanolic, ethanolic, and aqueous extracts of Aerva lanata. Standard techniques were used to analyze the phytochemical compounds present in crude extracts, including steroids, terpenoids, phlobatannins, reducing sugar, triterpenoids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins, quinones, oxalates, tannins, cardiac glycosides, and anthraquinones. The methanolic extracts showed positive results for the maximum number of phytochemical compounds. In quantitative analysis, the essential secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, alkaloids, saponins, phenols, and terpenoids were tested in all three solvent extracts of the leaf. The methanolic extract of the leaf showed the highest amounts of phytochemicals when compared with other solvent extracts.
