Salunkhe M. B.*, Pise N. M. and Gaikwad D. K.
ABSTRACT
The methanolic extracts of leaves, buds, flowers and pods of Gul Mohar [Delonix regia (Bojer ex Hook.) Raf.]. were analysed for phenolic compounds. HPLC analysis of the methanolic extracts of leaf and petals revealed the presence of P-coumaric acid, Catechin hydrate, Kaemferol-3-glucoside, Kuromanin chloride, Rutin hydrate, Cynidin chloride, Quercetin 3 glucoside, Quercetin and Oenin chloride. The extracts of the young leaves and flowers might be used as nutraceutical constituents to improve the antioxidant potential.
Keywords: Delonix regia, solvent extracts and phenolics.
