Abstract :
AIM: A preliminary phytochemical investigation of the hydroalcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera Lam’s gum is the goal of this work.
Techniques: The dried powder of M. oleifera Lam gum was extracted using a water-ethanol mixture, and its contents were analyzed for tannins, alkaloids, steroids, triterpenoids,
flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, saponins, carbohydrates, phytosterols, proteins, and amino acids, along with a positive control and blank.
Findings: It appears that there are tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, cardiac glycosides, phytosterols and carbohydrates.
In this extract, the tests for proteins, fixed oils, and fats came back negative.
Key word: Moringa oleifera, Extract, Gum, Phytochemical Analysis
