Variation in Extract Yield in Different Parts of Albizia lebbeck

Abstract

Phytochemical screening is an important step which leads to the isolation of new and novel compound. Solvent extract of the plant material with the help of different solvent such as n-hexane, chloroform, alcohol and aqueous revealed that in alcohol and aqueous solvent maximum extract yield obtained in all studied parts.
