Abstract
Summary Introduction: Feronia limonia (synonyms: Feronia elephantum, Hesperethusa crenulata, Limonia acidissima Linn, Schinus limonia) is a member of Rutaceae family. F. limonia is an aesthetically pleasing plant with various medicinal and nutraceutical properties. Objective: The primary objective of this research was to determine the flavonoid from F. limonia. Methods: Different solvents have been soxhleted to the roots of F. limonia powder. Column chromatography was performed using silica gel, a yellow amorphous solid was obtained from ethyl acetate extract after elution with hexane: ethyl acetate (4:8). Results: We have successfully isolated a unique geranyl flavanone from the roots of F. limonia. The structure was verified as 8-(2′′,3′′-epoxy-3′′-methyl butyl)-4′-prenyloxy flavanone-7-O-6′′′′-acetyl β-D-glucopyranoside. Conclusion: According to the findings based upon spectroscopic analysis, a hitherto unknown flavanone was isolated in the F. limonia.
