ABSTRACT
This study were conducted to establishing the phytochemical screening
and thin layer chromatography (TLC) of Acacia etabica leaves
belonging to Fabaceae family. Phytochemical screening of total
ethanolic and aqueous extracts showed the presence of alkaloids,
flavonoids, tannins, saponin, Anthraquinone, Triterpenes
glycosides.TLC studies constituted different colored phytochemical
compounds with different Rf values. All spots are colorless in day light
but they are colored under UV light. Ethanolic extract showed six spots
and dichloromethane (DCM) extract showed six spots, while water
extract resulted in only one spot.
Keywords: Acacia Etbaica Ssp. Uncinata, Phytochemical Screening, TLC.
