A preliminary chromatographic detection of phenolic compounds from ethanolic stem extracts of Viburnum Linn. species by TLC and PC

The stems of three viburnum species and their alcoholic extracs were subjected Thin layer and paper chromatographic techniques using suitable stationary and developing phases,after a primary organic analysis.With aide of appropriate detecting agents and reference phenolics,presence of a few phenolic compounds was identified based on their RetardationFactors(RF) values to observe that VP stem extract possessed astragalin, rutin and arbutin;VC stem extract contained amentoflavone, caffeic acid and arbutin and VE stem extract represented the presence of chlorogenic acid and rutin.
