Phytochemical analysis and medecinal evaluation of hydro ethanolic extract of two varieties Hibiscus sabdariffa calyxes

Abstract

Phytochemical and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)analysis of aqueous-ethanolic extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa altimissa and Hibiscus sabdariffa sabdariffa calyces were examined. The phytochemical analysis of the calyces indicated the presence of tannins, anthraquinone and saponins in the two varieties. The GC-MS analysis of the hydro ethanolic extract result showed the presence of bioactive oxygenates which revealed a broad spectrum of many medicinal properties. This study also helped to identify the formula and structure of biomolecules which can be used as drugs from leaf extract.
