Abstract
Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. is an evergreen tree that widely grows in tropical regions. Each part of the tree is useful. The plant is also used in traditional medicines. The current study is concerned with the estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the root bark extract of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. The estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid contents were carried out on chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions. Total phenolic content was estimated by Folin Cio-calteau method and the total flavonoid content was estimated using Aluminium Chloride Colorimetric method.The study showed the chloroform fraction had more phenolic (27.27 mu g/mL) and flavonoid (651 mu g/mL)content than ethyl acetate fraction.
