ABSTRACT
Aim: High performance thin layer liquid chromatography (HPTLC)
was more popular in quality control and standardization of traditional
herbs. Keeping in view of this goal of the present study to develop
chromatography fingerprinting of successive extracts of Cocos
nucifera fruit pericarp and compare this with oil obtained by
combustion method.
Material and method: Cocos nucifera Linn belong to family
Arecaceae widely growing palm in southern Kerala region of India.
Dried pericarp powder was subject to continuous hot soxhlet
extraction method using petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol.
Combustion method was use to obtained coconut pericarp oil.
Chromatographic separation was achieved on a pre-coated with silica
gel 60 F254 plate using a mixture of benzene: ethyl acetate (9.0: 1.0
v/v) as a mobile phase at a wavelength of 254 nm.
Result: HPTLC chromatographic separation of pericarp oil and successive petroleum ether,
chloroform and methanol shows that numbers of phytoconstituents present in oil are more
than that of extract. Total number of constituents observed in chromatograph of oil was 10 while petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol extracts shows 4, 6 and 7 constituents
respectively. Constituent No 1 was present in all but its concentration is more in oil as
compare to extracts. Constituent No 9 was only present in oil chromatograph and absent in all
successive extracts.
Keywords: Arecaceae, Cocos nucifera, Chromatography, Physicochemical.
