Ramanpreet Brar and Raghbir Ch

Abstract

A simple, selective, sensitive and precise high performance thin layer chromatographic technique was followed to determine the diversity within two cytotypes of P. angulata. Fruit, stem, leaf and root samples extracted in n-hexane were used to quantify phenols and phytosterols and methanolic extracts for triterpinoids. The amounts of phytochemical differ in both the cytotypes of the same species.
