TLC <strong>analysis</strong><br />

The methanolic, ethanolic, chlor<strong>of</strong>orm <strong>and</strong> acetone extracts <strong>of</strong> fruits<br />

along with control were subjected to thin layer chromatography<br />

using various solvent systems. The most suitable solvent system<br />

was toluene: petroleum benzene: acetic acid (4.4: 4.4: 1.2).<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>iles obtained for samples show more or less similar patterns <strong>of</strong><br />

b<strong>and</strong>s with control (Table 3). When ethanolic extract was used,<br />

separation <strong>and</strong> intensity <strong>of</strong> b<strong>and</strong>s were more.<br />

By spraying Benedict’s Reagent, different b<strong>and</strong>ing patterns were<br />

obtained in all the samples used (Table 4). Aegle marmelos <strong>and</strong><br />

Murraya koenigii (Figure 11) showed more or less same number <strong>of</strong><br />

b<strong>and</strong>s. When Paramignya monophylla <strong>and</strong> Clausena indica compared<br />

in TLC <strong>analysis</strong>, the results were entirely different (Figure 12). Aegle<br />

marmelos <strong>and</strong> Glycosmis pentaphylla in TLC <strong>analysis</strong> showed<br />

difference in the number <strong>of</strong> b<strong>and</strong>s (Figure 13). Murraya koenigii <strong>and</strong><br />

Glycosmis pentaphylla did not show any resemblances (Figure 14).<br />
