UHPLC assessment of embelin in specialized mangrove plant Aegiceras corniculatum (L) Blanco

Abstract

Crude Yield The crude yield of embelin in case of A. corniculatum was found to be in a range of 0.12–2.74% dry wt. (Table 4). The fruit part showed the highest yield of crude embelin followed by the root parts followed by stem bark and then finally by the leaf parts. When the solvent systems were considered, the methanol solvent system was prevailed to be eminent to that of chloroform solvent system. All data were analyzed statistically at 99.9% confidence interval of difference through one-way RM ANOVA along with Holm–Sidak's multiple comparisons test. In the multiple comparison analysis, the row factors, i.e., the plant parts extracted through different processes with various solvent systems, were found to be significant at P value = 0.0243 and column factors, i.e., the crude yield of embelin, were found to be significant at P value = 0.5260.
