Abstract
The selection of appropriate extraction technique and solvent for extraction of phytoconstituents is an important aspect to achieve the maximum concentration of desired phytoconstituents in plant extracts. The present study was undertaken to study the effect of extraction techniques (mechanical shaking, refluxing, Soxhlet extraction, centrifugation) and solvents (acetone, ethanol, water) on phytoconstituents and antioxidant activities of clove buds. In clove buds, total phenols (127.26 mg GAE/g) and flavonoids (26.72 mg CE/g) contents, DPPH free radical scavenging activity (range of IC50: 89.9-125.3 μg/mL) and antioxidant activity (85.86 %) were found to be highest in extracts obtained by Soxhlet technique followed by refluxing, mechanical shaking/centrifugation. Amongst solvents, total phenols (140.29 mg GAE/g), DPPH free radical scavenging activity (range of IC50: 89.9-118.5 μg/mL) and antioxidant activity (84.17 %) were highest in water extracts whereas flavonoids (29.71 mg CE/g) were highest in acetone extracts. Thus, the phytochemical contents and antioxidant activity of clove depend on the type of extraction technique and solvent polarity.
