Thin Layer Chromatography
TLC of alcoholic extract of fruit on silica gel „G‟ plate using Toluene:
Ethylacetate (9:1) shows under (366nm) eight fluorescent zones at Rf. 0.11,
0.15, 0.17 (all blue), 0.21 (green), 0.27 (blue), 0.30 (blue), 0.35 (green) and
0.94 (blue). On spraying with 5% Methanolic-Phosphomolybdic acid reagent
and heating the plate for about ten minutes at 110�C three spots appear at Rf.
0.21, 0.30 and 0.94 (all blue) (Anonymous, 2001).
