COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF THE YIELD AND CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF Bryophyllumpinnatum BY COLD MERCERATION AND SOHXLET EXTRACTION METHODS

Bryophyllum pinnatum belongs to the family crassulaceae and is widely used in traditional medicine, especially tropical areas. In present study, extract yield phytochemical constituents of chloroform extracts leave prepared using two most commonly extraction techniques known as cold maceration, soxhlet was investigated. Analysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) done on extracted materials. The produced by maceration method yielded ten (10) compounds, whereas eight (8) compounds. Piperazine, 1-(2-adamantyl)-4-benzoyl, which made up highest percentage 10 compounds found method, had a concentration 53.673%, while Pyrazine, 2,6-diethyl, 31.913% method. GCMS analysis's findings suggest that heat can change composition several substances. term thermo-liable refer those substances are easily denatured or changed heat. variance percentages compositions has been observed due employment various methods. presence these phytochemicals B. Pinnatum leaves supports use plants' treatment variety illnesses, including leishmaniasis, asthma, ear pain, discovered have therapeutic properties.
