ABSTRACT

The present study investigates the phytochemical composition, total flavonoid content, and quantitative estimation of quercetin in the ethanolic extract of Basella alba. The ethanolic extract yielded 12.7%, with preliminary phytochemical screening revealing the presence of saponins, phenols, carbohydrates, and flavonoids. The total flavonoid content was determined to be 0.22 mg quercetin equivalent per 100 mg of extract. Furthermore, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that the ethanolic extract contained 0.074% quercetin, with a retention time of 2.826 minutes. These findings highlight Basella alba as a promising source of bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids, with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The results provide valuable information for further pharmacological studies and the development of therapeutic products derived from Basella alba.
