Abstract

Medicinal plants constitute an essential natural resource for the treatment of chronic illness. It is possible to treat the same illness using various medicinal plants; the decision is frequently influenced by the nation in which the disorder is most frequent. Acanthus ilicifolius is an Indian mangrove and belongs to Acanthaccae family and grows in the coastal zone. It comprises of a wide range of phytochemicals and exhibits numerous biological characteristics. In this study, the quercetin flavonoid was extracted by combining different parts (root, stem, and leaf) of Acanthus ilicifolius. The extraction process, when further optimized, involved various physicochemical parameters that influenced the yield of quercetin. These parameters were different solvents and their varying concentration, extraction time, pH, and particle mesh size. The optimal conditions for extracting quercetin from this plant combination were found to be methanol as the solvent with 80% concentration, 24 hrs extraction time at pH-6, and having a particle size of 100 mesh. As a result, the concentration of the quercetin of this plant extract was found to be 43.0 µg/ml.

Keywords: Acanthus ilicifolius, Mangrove, Extraction, Quercetin, Methanol.
