DEVELOPMENT OF QUALITY CONTROL PARAMETERS FOR STANDARDIZATION OF A NOVELMUCILAGE OBTAINED FROM OKRA (ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS (L.) MOENCH) FRUIT

Objective: The main objective was to focus on qualitative and quantitative analysis of isolated okra mucilage by High-performance Thin Layer Chromatography set up the quality control parameters for mucilage.
 Methods: thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) were applied identification components present in methanolic ethanolic fruit extract at 254 nm 356 nm. Quantitative amino acid ascorbic total polyphenol content determined.
 Results: results showed that yield percentage found be 13.5 and12.5% respectively. HPTLC determination presence 8 with Rf values range 0.14 0.62 0.54 respectively when detected wavelengths 11.45%w/w. 0.24 %w/w 0.18% w/w phenolic contents (tannic equivalents, mg/g) extracts calculated 4.6 % w/wand 5.3% respectively.
 Conclusion: data revealed dual benefits like it can act as a potential novel functional ingredient health-promoting application due phenolics same time provided guidelines
