Abstract

The present study is aimed to investigate the phytochemicals present in hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone and methanolic extracts obtained from fruits of Physalis angulata plant and TLC profiling. The plant material was extracted with various solvents based on their polarity by the process of maceration method. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was performed by different qualitative methods. Preliminary phytochemical analysis of the extracts revealed the presence of carbohydrates, tannins, alkaloids, saponins and phenolic compounds. The solvent system selected for the best results of TLC was hexane and ethyl acetate of the ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 2:1 and 3:1. The study will provide referential information for the correct identification of the bioactive compounds and suitable solvent system for separation of those compounds from the fruit extract of Physalis angulata.
