Abstract
Eichhornia crassipes is an aquatic plant that belongs to Pontederiaceae family. It is commonly known as water hyacinth. This annoying plant has been a recurring issue that should have been managed. In comparison to other natural plants and fibers, the seeds of these plants may survive up to 28 years at the water’s surface and have developed extremely quick growth properties. The water hyacinth is regarded as the world’s most dangerous invasive alien species, and its potential use in wastewater bioremediation, control, and eradication have been investigated. The stem, petioles, and roots of Eichhornia crassipes were separated, and these pieces were used to make beautiful products and a variety of purposes. These plants are simply referred to as highly problematic ones. It is effective in treating various illnesses and improving hair fragrance due to its proven anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. Additionally, water hyacinth can be utilized as a raw material to make biodegradable goods including packaging, paper, and cardboard. Its potential in phytoremediation, particularly in the elimination of pollutants and toxins, has also been investigated. In this study, the various phytochemicals present in the Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) will be studied through qualitative and quantitative analysis. Ethanol is the best solvent for extraction of total phenolic content (26.5 µg/ml) and total tannin content (19 µg/ml) of this plant. Similarly, methanol is the best solvent for extraction of total flavonoid content of this plant and its concentration was 28.5 µg/ml. The purified extract also shows enhancement of phytochemicals through column chromatography.
