Author(s): KHANDELWAL PREETI, SHARMA R A, AGARWAL MALA

The Flavonoids are remarkable and important secondary metabolites, found in plants. The present study was carried out to investigate the flavonoid content present in the leaves, stem, and pods of Prosopis juliflora. Methods: The established protocol of Subramanian & Nagarajan, 1969 was used for isolation of flavonoids. The structure of the isolated compounds was established on the basis of physical and chemical test and spectroscopic evidences (TLC, IR and GC- MS). Results: The study was revealed that the three types of flavonoids Quercetin, Kaempferol and Luteolin were found in Prosopis juliflora. Out of these three flavonoids, Quercetin was found as a major flavonoid. Kaempferol and luteolin were found as minor flavonoids. Conclusion: The present flavonoids may be responsible for various activities found in this plant, like- Antioxidant activity, anti-microbial activity etc.
